We’re proud to announce the renewal of our blood pact with American black/death/grindcore weapon of mass extermination Disimperium, via the imminent release of the band’s forthcoming debut album “Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars“ - to be released July 21 2023 on LP, CD, MC and digital formats worldwide.
The destruction-enshrouded release has been teased by notorious underground metal blog NO CLEAN SINGING, who in unveiling the track “Blade Obfuscation” have defined the track “mauling, mangling, mad, and monstrously malignant“ - you can check out the premiere and the track HERE.
Pure sonic annihilation reaches its pinnacle and inevitable sublimation on Disimperium's debut full-length album "Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars". As the debut 2021 7" "Malefic Obliteration" had already hinted at, human ears will fall prey yet again to an entity whose quest for total sensorial destruction has now reached implausible and horrific extremes, far beyond the confines of sanity which had already been obliterated on the inaugural release. In its nine tracks and thirty two minutes of pure concentrated terror, "Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars" discharges an inescapable payload of death that impacts the listener with the force and speed of an apocalyptic shockwave escaping the fireball of a nuclear warhead. An onslaught of carpet bombing drums, bass, guitars and contorted vocals dissolving the lines between sanity and pure chaos establishes a permanent and incessant state of absolute armageddon, while a maelstrom of malefic atmospheres and apocalyptic darkness enshrouds the assault transforming the work into a weaponized, hallucinogenic, otherworldly burden of total terror. Where bands like Diocletian, Impetuous Ritual, Tetragrammacide, Knelt Rote and Damaar had already tested and established the limits of human resistance against abstract ideas of omnipotent negativity and horizonless sonic bedlam, Disimperium explore these outer limits even further, venturing out and establishing a new era into which there is no more measure to the very definition of musical insanity sought and achieved for the sole sake of aggression.
Formed by members of Misrule and Ascended Dead and treading the same outer limits of musical cruelty of bands like Knelt Rote, Diocletian and Heresiarch, Dismperium emerged in 2021 with the “Malefic Obliteration” EP, a blinding assault of feral and dark blackened death metal destruction propelled toward oblivion by the barbaric ferocity of grindcore’s most uncompromising fringe. Disimperium have been in some way linked to Sentient Ruin even far before their existence. The band’s origins can be traced back to the grindcore solo project Misrule, by East Coast native and now Oregon-based multi-instrumentalist and visual artist S. Mahoney.
Misrule emerged in 2018 with its debut demo tape “Forced to Suffer”, issued by Sentient Ruin to positive reviews in the wake of its ferocious and unrelenting aural attack. The success of “Forced to Suffer” lead Mahoney to seek out live members to expand the project’s scope of action beyond his home studio. This lead to a string of local musicians to be briefly involved until members of Ascended Dead and of other local extreme metal bands came in contact with the project, and the union pushed the premises into a darker and even more violent territory which prompted everyone involved to start fresh with a new name and project that would take on a life and sound of its own. The original grindcore influences coming from Knelt Rote and Vermin Womb were thus completed and enhanced by other elements inspired by black and death metal bands like Adversarial, Archgoat, and Impetuous Ritual, which lead the forging of Disimperium’s dark and inhuman aural weapon of total mass extermination.
