We’re proud to announce a new partnership with emerging German black/death metal terror cult Wrahha. Hailing from Leipzig, Germany, Wrahha is the spiritual successor to the defunct Leipzig-based bestial Black Death cult Lihhamon, which existed briefly between 2015 and 2017. Wrahha is spearheaded by Lihhamon guitarist M., and new co-conspirators P. and F., continuing the previous band's unholy campaign down the path of omnipotent destruction and absolute sonic bedlam.
Wrahha's three inaugural tracks forming the debut "Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing" demo tape here presented are a weaponized instrument of terror that in a bare ten minutes tests the limits of human resistance taking it to its bloodiest breaking point. The three tracks bring forth an unprecedented audial assault channeling the cruelty and mercilessness of black/death cults like Revenge, Diocletian and Heresiarch, while establishing Wrahha as a violent means of transcendence in its own right, not one who will ever follow in anyone's steps, but rather one meant to forge its own destiny and self-determination in crushing tyranny and cast its own destructive shadow across the path of anything or anyone who dare to oppose.
"Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing" demo tape’s imminent arrival has now been teased by European extreme metal blog Antichrist Magazine, who have premiered the track “Totalitarian Crucifixion Rite“ - you can check out the feature and listen to the track HERE.
As its title suggests, this demo tape release is like an omen or harbinger of Wrahha's horrid aural atrocity awaiting ahead in the form of the band's upcoming debut full-length, which will be a concept album about gaining and losing power. This demo is loosely based around the same theme. With "Berserker Elite...." the band depicts the mythos of the infamous frenzied warriors who went into battle in a trance before the regular troops, like harbingers of what is about to come. "Totalitarian Crucifixion Rite" is about the concept of maintaining power through terror, which in the end leads always to downfall. While the final song "Imperious Mastery..." introduces the theme of overthrowing and cleansing a totalitarian regime, as happened for example during the trials of Nurnberg, where the foundations and vestiges of the old ideology were denied and erased to build something new.
The "Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing" demo tape will be officially released on September 20 2024 by Sentient Ruin in America in collaboration with AbArt Corruption for Europe
Wrahha emerged in Leipzig, Germany, from the ashes of praised bestial black/death metal force Lihhamon, who in a span of 2-3 years had produced the seminal 2016 debut full-length album “Doctrine” (which was later reissued by Nuclear War Now! Productions), and the “Miasmal Coronation” split 12” with I I, which was published by Ván Records the following year. Shortly after Lihhamon dissolved, guitarist M. set out to establish a spiritual successor for the band, which would retain its audio-visual attack while developing the concept and music further, much like Revenge had become for Conqueror or Triptykon for Celtic Frost. The lineup for Wrahha was consolidated into the same configuration of Lihhamon, as a trio, featuring M. on guitars and vocals (previously also in Omnivore), P.: (ex-Mutilated Remains) on drums, and bassist F., who had recently emigrated to Germany from Damascus in Syria, where he had his own studio called “Old Hearth”, and was responsible for a lot of extreme metal recordings from Syria, as well as taking part in many bands from the country like Eulen, Abidetherein, Viieden, Netherion and many more. With a consolidated lineup, a name, an idea, and a vision, the three set out to give life to the bestial aural assault of Wrahha, an abysmal terrorscape influenced by acts like Diocletian, Conqueror, Heresiarch, Damaar, Truppensturm, Teitanblood, Impetous Ritual, and Axis of Advance that will see its first light in September 2024 with the release of the “Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing” demo tape while the band hammers away at what will soon become their first ever official debut full-length album to be released in a near future to come.
