We are proud to announce “Inferno Descends”, the skull-crushing new album from Ohio's bestial death metal one-man army Invultation: dark, feral death metal to end humanity's days. Aural warfare transmuting forth into apocalyptic chaos, conquering its most lawless and antihuman triumph yet.
The imminent release has now been teased by legendary heavy metal publication Decibel Magazine, who in unveiling the song “Third Degree Warfare” have remarked how the track “packs all the power of Immolation and Formulas-era Morbid Angel but is delivered with the blasphemous, iconoclastic attitude of bands like Angelcorpse, Archgoat and Blaspherian.“ - you can read the feature and listen to the song HERE.
Reaching the milestone of the fourth full-length release, mastermind A. Lampe’s unrelinquishing sonic weapon of mass extermination does not relent, and instead, doubles down, overloading its yield of terror to perpetrate a violent reign of cruelty and destruction. Riffs cascade, sprawl and suffocate, ensnaring forty minutes of the listener’s life into an inescapable assault. The rhythm section enframes the chaos, sustaining the merciless advance with waves of carpet bombing blasts and smoldering bass lines to scorch the earth and cleanse the battlefield with fire. While Lampe’s vocals reproclaim the reign of terror through the project’s staple promulgation of warmongering edicts and bestial calls for human meat to be consumed like fodder and be disintegrated inside the shellshock. Fans of Angelcorpse, Archgoat, and Cruciamentum will instantly recognize and embrace the belligerent pedigree of one of America’s greatest underground death metal secrets, while those already familiar with the band will find it reinvigorated and resplending in its most feral and barbaric state yet.
“Inferno Descends” is set to be released October 30 2026 on LP/CD/MC/digital formats worldwide via Sentient Ruin, along with a full new spread of album-exclusive merch, all pre-orderable now via all our channels.
Invultation began its existence as an aural scourge of creation in Columbus, Ohio in 2015, conceived by solo artist, multi instrumentalist, and sole member and mastermind Andrew Lampe (The Wakedead Gathering, Echushkya, LONGBARROW). Influenced by legendary bands like Archgoat, Black Witchery, Revenge and Incantation, the project set out to conceive abominable hellscapes of utter destruction, an intent that became reality with the band’s self-titled debut demo, released that same year as a home-dubbed cassette released in a limited quantity. The project then sank back into the depths of silence until 2020 when it suddenly re-emerged with the release of its first proper full-length album, "Wolfstrap". This release saw the project morph into more of a death-metal driven entity, with the same bestial black/death metal roots still firmly anchored in its sound. It also displayed a denser and improved production/sound quality, as well as a more fine-tuned focus on its staple lycanthropic misanthropy aesthetic which would become ever so central later on. Without losing any momentum, Lampe unleashed the next bludgeoning Invultation full-length titled "Unconquerable Death" the following year, obscuring anything done until that point, and displaying an even more increased emphasis on production quality, songwriting, sheer tonnage of the riffs and just on all around yield of destruction in Invultation’s annihilating sound framework. "Unconquerable Death" continued and advanced the sound of "Wolfstrap", celebrating the end of all life with the ultimate metal of death. This second full-length offering was officially self-released in March 2021 to positive reception from the underground, which lead to a CD release via Born for Burning Productions that same month. This is when the release came across the desk of Sentient Ruin and a vinyl release plan soon shaped up for early 2022. At the same time Lampe and Sentient Ruin began preparing the ground for the grand unleashing of Invultation’s third, cataclysmic full-length album, “Feral Legion”, released in summer 2023. “Feral Legion” elevated the band’s yield of terror to new heights, displaying yet another progression for Lampe in every aspect possible: from the heaviness of the riffs, to the mercilessness of the composition, to the density of the sound quality, signaling a parallel evolution between Invultation at its creator, particularly in songwriting and production aspects. Reinvigorated an reinforced, Invultation thus slipped once more into hibernation to prepare its next quest of destruction. “Inferno Descends” was once again conceived in complete seclusion and isolation throughout 2024 and 2025. A fourth full-length album of deathless agression. Its fangs ulteriorly sharpened, it’s claws even more inescapable, its armor now iron-plated and more unpierceable than ever, and its musculature now assuming humongous beast-like traits. Another reign of terror rising through the wrath of a wolven death metal weapon designed to crush all adversaries with no mercy or consequence. In fall of 2026.
