DIABOLIC OATH: American Black Death Metal Legion Announce Latest Full-Length Abomination "Oracular Hexations" - Track Premiered at Toilet Ov Hell.

We’re proud to announce that the abysmal alchemists of lysergic black/death abominations Diabolic Oath are about to return with "Oracular Hexations", their most warped and devastating work to date.

The brand new sophomore full-length uncreation is slated for an early April 2024 release, and has been teased by Toilet Ov Hell via an avance track stream of the song “Winged Ouroboros Mutating Unto Gold”, with the iconic extreme metal blog stating that with the track “the listener is ripped out of the relative safety and comfort of the opening riff and sent through a dizzying assemblage of frightening, unhinged, enigmatic, and unconventional passages, each one stacking on the last to produce a tenuously towering and vertiginous effect”, and elaborating further that “once the original riff returns, the band has lost all patience with its straight-forwardness, instead opting for more malleability, mutating it into an almost unrecognizable version of itself.“ - you can check out the song and feature HERE.

On their new sophomore full-length uncreation "Oracular Hexations", Diabolic Oath’s staple approach of using completely fretless stringed instruments and a triple simultaneous vocal attack to depredate the listener's psyche, reaches truly majestic and catastrophic forms. Their technically daring and transformative approach to the usually dogmatic "war metal" craft has metastasized as a highly divergent and enigmatic mutation within the genre itself, where the crushing heaviness of the riffs concocted to their unconventional creation has resulted in an alternate reality of bestial black metal unbound with truly unseen and unthinkable auditory monstrosities. Shapeless, formless and free of any boundaries, the six lengthy spells contained within "Oracular Hexations" assume an almost globulous, chimeric form, appearing horrendous and misshapen to the listener as they morph and four-dimensionally sprawl like a sensorially annihilating mass devouring the psyche. The gnarled and grotesque nature of chords and musical structures created evoke a sense of disorienting and otherworldly disembodiment, becoming a fertile ground for degenerate forms of ritualism and esotericism that weave an unsettling conceptual canvas rife for the propagation of the absurd. Unbound with cryptic and abstruse mutterings about cosmological, multi-dimensional and impossible states of being, "Oracular Hexations" is an hallucinatory convergence between technical, crushing and flesh-scouring musical genius and truly grotesque forms of composition and storytelling. An indissoluble dualism between primeval destruction and inscrutable bewilderment which will test the psyche and flesh of those subjected to the album's surrealistic destructive force. 

Diabolic Oath was begotten in Portland, Oregon in late 2017 by the will of The Temple and of Ominous Void. Almost immediately, Chthonic Conqueror was summoned to join, providing blasphemous vitriol and unholy thunderous percussion. The trio soon recorded the first offering, “MMXVIII”, and began the first incursions of unforgettably bleak and bludgeoning live rituals. Soon after, the band began writing new material which coalesced to become their mind-bending and flesh-battering first full-length album, “Profane Death Exodus” released in 2020 by Sentient Ruin. To make this album it was decided early on to implement the unique and unorthodox approach of fretless bass and guitar instruments combined with a triple vocal attack delivered by all members of the group, often simultaneously, to harness something unseen and unheard of before then in extreme metal, and completely ungovernable and unhinged. The band’s sound at this point began to flow as free-form sonic death ritual, beginning to assume abominable and experimental traits, and yielding an imposing sound drenched in lawlessness and chaos. Around the same time an anonymous, ritualistic approach to the live setting was adopted, incorporating in live performances meditations on death accompanied by obscure offerings, to further shape the creature’s essence in a realm of mysticism, chaos, and absurdity. The sound of Diabolic Oath is the culmination of a meticulous distillation of influences and styles ranging from black, death, and war metal to doom, and with certain influences (new and old) such as Teitanblood, Morbid Angel, and Bestial Warlust creeping into the mix alternating more pronounced references to more subtle ones. The band has worked tirelessly to carve its Diabolic path, playing shows to support high-caliber underground acts across the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Mexico. With the debut full-length, “Profane Death Exodus”, the band was intuitively poised to conquer, destroy, and seal the oath, a feat accomplished which paved the way to the next generation of their wretched incantations, namely the cryptic and highly destructive 2022 MLP “Aischrolatreia” (also released on all formats by Sentient Ruin), but mostly, the sublimation of it all, Diabolic Oath’s new heirloom of unconquerable chaos: their immense 2024 sophomore full-length abomination Oracular Hexations.

ABERRATION: US Surrealistic Death Metal Deformers Announce Debut Full-Length Monstrosity "Refracture" - Track Premiered at Decibel Magazine.

We’re proud to renew our unholy pact with Minnesota-based dark death-metal surrealists Aberration, as we announce the band’s devastating debut album “Refracture”, to be released on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats worldwide on March 22 2024.

The album’s announcement has been accompanied by an exclusive stream of the song “Interstitial Enmity” premiered by monumental metal music bastion Decibel Magazine, who in revealing the song have remarked how “it takes a couple listens to fully grasp what Aberration are doing on the track; at times, harsh feedback runs into the riffs and drums, making it feel as though the band is creating sonic illusions“ and that “throughout the album, these elements ebb and flow to be ‘dynamic’ and ‘Interstitial Enmity’ is a great example of that: brutal dissonance gives way to plodding drawn out atmosphere and ends with droning mechanical groans that morph into a chaotic hellscape.” - you can check out the premiere and the song HERE.

Refracture, the process of light deviating as passed through a medium. A similar concept explored by US necromorphed death metal disfiguration Aberration (formed by members of Void Rot, Suffering Hour and Nothingness among others), who finally present their long awaited debut offering "Refracture", a mind-bending, obliterating displacement of mutated dark death metal tonnage set to permanently reshape the lineaments of experimental and underground USDM. But there is no light contemplated in Aberration's contorted audial design, only darkness, and specifically, rather than light, the self, consciousness is passed through a perceptive medium of surrealism, and is refractured into "other" self, the core concept of all abominations. Bands like Antediluvian, Portal, Hissing and Altarage are no new comers to the art of death metal defilement through the ritual of perceptive and deceptive psychic mind wars, but what Aberration have accomplished with "Refracture" defies definitions and ads an ulterior progression to the end of death metal and of music as we know it. With dissonance used as a weapon and compositional surrealism metastasized into a ravenous dissociative medium, "Refracture" tunnels through the listeners brain like a psyche-boring destructive mass, devouring conscience and ravaging synapses through the sheer force of musical absurdity. An anti-reality is achieved through its sideways-moving sprawl and its labyrinthine, shapeshifting pace, with the listener's senses and mind used as helpless hosts in which a mutant parasitism is unleashed into a form of absurd, demented and frenzied perceptive devourment. 

With influences coming from surrealistic extreme metal beasts like Altarage, Portal and Impetuous Ritual, Minneapolis MN dark death metal obscurators Aberration debuted via Sentient Ruin with their self-titled 2021 debut 10" EP, an aural pact with total darkness that established them as one of the most imaginative and intimidating new entities in American underground extreme metal. No newcomers to game, Aberration formed in late 2019 with JH of Void Rot on guitar and vocals, DH of Suffering Hour on bass and vocals, AW of Nothingness on guitar, and EC of Tvaer on drums and threw the sum of their talents and influences into an obfuscating sonic glorification of total darkness and oblivion, combining death, doom, dissonant black metal and tenebrous ambient/drone to create an imposing aural hellscape of all-devouring terror.

Their surrealistic interpretation of dark abstract death metal will find its absolute triumph and sublimation with “Refracture”, the band’s debut full-length album for Sentient Ruin, be released on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats worldwide on March 22 2024 and now pre-orderable via all our channels.



MAURDA: German Black/Death Metal Cult Reissues 2022 Sophomore "Cultus Brachypter" MLP on Vinyl - Full Stream and Pre-orders Posted.

We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with elusive German black/death metal cult Maurda, as we prepare a remastered reissue of their 2022 tenebrous and annihilating sophomore MLP release "Cultus Brachypter", to be reissued digitally and for the first time ever on vinyl format February 23 2024. "Cultus Brachypter" full stream as well as digital and vinyl product preorders are now available via all our channels.

Brachyptery, the condition in insects of having vestigial wings and having lost the capacity of flight. This is the cult of the dewinged, of the downcast and of the condemned. Now remastered (courtesy of Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios) and consecrated through its first ever vinyl edition and a graphic facelift, Maurda's catastrophic second short player "Cultus Brachypter" went largely ignored upon its original 2022 self-release, but its obscurity can be solely attributed to the hermetic extremism that defines it. In reality, a world is contained within these sixteen minutes and six movements of absolute eschaton. A world so impenetrable it takes complete sacrifice to enter it. With its ruinous sensorial assault, "Cultus Brachypter" initially evokes the war-torn bestial insanity of bands like Pseudogod or Teitanblood, but as the onslaught progresses the listener soon realizes they are being drawn into a desolate, void-like inner world of dehumanized alienation. The grim specter of DSBM rears its head as the minutes pass and the sense of misery and isolation becomes suffocating and reaches its inevitable consequences and conclusions. This form of enigmatic, inward-vanquishing extreme metal appears inscrutable in its uncommunicative isolationism, and can be solely superficially interpreted as an unprecedented fusion of war metal and depressive black metal in which feelings of dread, melancholy and self-loathing are taken to their extremes and weaponized into an abstract white-wall representation of absolute nihilism and self-destruction that ultimately evokes the grim soul-tearing lineaments of pure noise.

Formed by reclusive members Atypus and KHL, Maurda first emerged around 2019 with a self-released debut demo tape titled “Errega”, a raw and emaciated document of inscrutable DSBM-infused primitive war metal that hinted at potentially catastrophic developments to follow. The band’s original and cryptic formula was indeed developed further with the 2022 followup MLP "Cultus Brachypter", a noise-devoured extreme metal abstraction shrouded in cryptic onomatopoeic and metaphorical semantics about self-induced winglessness and losing one’s ability to fly, or in other words, to thrive and succeed. This release possibly showed the full realization of the band’s soul-tearing formula: a metastatic abstraction of bludgeoning war metal eroded away and consumed by the despair and dehumanizing alienation of DSBM acts like Pa Vesh En. A form of aural chaos consumed by misery and degenerated into a claustrophobic inner plight devoid of reference points and blurred into the isolationist grimness and hopelessness of pure noise.



RAW WAR: Defunct Canadian Crustcore Savages Finally Unleash Posthumous Debut Album "Total Raw War" - Track Unveiled at IDIOTEQ.

We’re proud to honor the legacy of defunct Canadian crustcore legion Raw War with a worldwide release of their long-lost debut full-length album and unreleased 7” EP, both conjoined in the final “Total Raw War” 12” vinyl and digital release.

The exclusive and long awaited work has been teased by iconic punk and hardcore blog IDIOTEQ who’ve revealed the song “Tsar Bomba”, remarking that the track “is a raw, unforgiving sonic assault that captures the essence of their primeval, bulldozing onslaught. Prepare to have your senses obliterated.“ - you can read the feature and check out the song HERE.

Victoria BC's Raw War were a lawless blown out nuclear crust assault that obliterated ears from 2009 to 2013. During that time the band decimated stages and spread total chaos all over the Pacific Northwest with pulverizing live sets and a sound made of pure apocalyptic terror doused in the ashes of humanity's end. Influenced by 80's and 90's UK D-beat and anarcho-punk bands like Doom and Discharge as well as by early Scandinavian crust bands like Anti Cimex and Totalitär, Raw War soon established widespread terror in their native British Columbia region, bringing their derailing and off the chain assault of primitive, ear-splitting noise-punk cacophony to its inevitable end and extreme conclusions. An unnamed full-length album and 7" EP tentatively tiled "Raw Terror" were recorded but never saw the light. Marred by debauchery, lineup instability and their very nature as an entity that far too soon had decided to explode in a shockwave rather than quietly fade away, Raw War disbanded sometime around 2013 leaving a thirty-five minute unforgiving, primeval, bulldozing, crustcore onslaught unreleased and completely unheard of for ten long years. Fast forward to 2023, and Sentient Ruin stepped in to honor the legacy and work of one of BC's most uncompromising and visceral hardcore crust bands by finishing the work and releasing the entirety of the band's long-unreleased material (the untitled full-length album and the "Raw Terror" EP) as the comprehensive 12" vinyl/digital full-length release "Total Raw War".

Total Raw War is scheduled for a February 9 2024 release worldwide via Sentient Ruin on 12” vinyl LP and digital formats and can now be pre-ordered via all our channels.

Raw War were started in Victoria BC. The band immediately distinguished itself in the region for their off the rails nuclear crust assault, the apocalyptic vibe of their songs, and the raw intensity of their live performances. This reputation as a primal and lawless force in the Pacific Northwest punk scene was further cemented by the release of their 2010 debut 7" titled "Population Control", which lead to more shows, tours, debauchery and opening slots for bands like Oi Polloi and Doom, all of which in turn began to stir up even more attention around the band, generating considerable label interest. On the heels of label agreements and continued interest from the punk scene, Raw War decided to enter the studio and record a full length album, immediately following those recording sessions with further recordings, this time in the form of a planned second 7" tentatively titled "Raw Terror". However, neither of these two releases ever surfaced.

Frustrated by the departure of then bassist Justin and by the inability to maintain a solid bassist slot (bassists Brandon and Alan had already preceded him), the founding unit of guitarist Cordie, drummer Bryce and vocalist Dylan opted instead to continue as a trio and changed the band's name to Kaiten, relocating it to Vancouver BC in the process. This change generated hesitation from labels, and threw the two recently recorded and still unfinished Raw War releases into a limbo, that would last for ten long years. Ten years that were declared over when Sentient Ruin stepped in to have the entire unreleased recorded output mastered and released on vinyl/digital as the posthumous “Total Raw War” 12” containing both the untitled debut full-length album and the “Raw Terror” 7” tracks, to give proper homage, peace, and resting place to one of the most decimating and unforgiving hardcore crust entities to ever desecrate Northwestern soil. Long live the Raw War. Long live TOTAL. RAW. WAR.

ABERRATION / DIABOLIC OATH: American Black/Death Metal Surrealists Send Ominous Presages of Bigger Things to Come With Imminent “Divinations” Split 7" - Audio Preview Unveiled at No Clean Singing.

In anticipation of greater, more horrific things to come in the new year, we proudly bring you the “Divinations” split 7” between Aberration and Diabolic Oath, two rising forces of US surrealistic extreme metal darkness.

The twelve-minute split has been teased by No Clean Singing who have revealed a minute-long sample of each of the band’s respective tracks, remarking that the collaborative effort is “evil to the core, as raw and filthy as week-old roadkill, and as oppressive and abyssal as it is berserk, but it’s technically accomplished as well as disturbing and disorienting.“ - you can read the feature and check out the audio previews HERE.

Slated for a January 5 2024 release, this two-song declaration of war upon human psyche showcases the two US-based sorcerers of omnipotent aural terror in complete command of control of their respective crafts as they summon each their own staple idealization of humongous and hallucinatory black/death deformations. “Divinations” serves as a precursor and taste to what's to come, namely the spring 2024 release of the bands’ two new full length albums, Aberration’s colossal “Refracture", and Diabolic Oath’s still secretive but completed second full length abomination.

With influences coming from surrealistic extreme metal beasts like Antediluvian, Altarage, Portal and Impetuous Ritual, Minneapolis MN dark death metal obscurators Aberration debuted via Sentient Ruin with their self-titled 2021 debut 10" EP, an aural pact with total darkness that established them as one of the most imaginative and intimidating new entities in American underground extreme metal.

Their surrealistic interpretation of dark abstract death metal will find its absolute triumph and sublimation with “Refracture”, the band’s debut full-length album for Sentient Ruin slated for a spring 2024 release.

Diabolic Oath was begotten in Portland, Oregon in late 2017 by the will of The Temple and of Ominous Void.

JUNTA: NYC Hardcore Punk Insurgents Announce Pulverizing Self-Titled Debut Full-length Album - Track Premiered at DIY Conspiracy.

We’re proud to announce the imminent release of the obliterating debut self-tiled album by NYC dark hardcore punk dissidents Junta, slated for a January 26 2024 release date on LP, digital and cassette formats worldwide via Sentient Ruin.

The release has been announced in collaboration with iconic European punk zine DYI Conspiracy who in premiering the track “Mi Violencia” have remarked that“the upcoming eleven-track album is a powerful statement of social upheaval and dissent, reflecting the band’s deep connection to marginalized and indigenous communities fragmented by segregation and injustice. It’s a raw and intense manifesto of struggle that blends hardcore punk aggression with the poetry of the dispossessed, embodying both idealism and stark realpolitik in their music.“ - you can check out the feature and track HERE.

Raw hardcore punk insurgents Junta arise from the concrete purgatory of New York City with their pulverizing debut self-titled full-length offering, a twenty-minute incursion of blistering upheaval and caustic retaliation. This dark document of crystalline urban terror introduces the NYC four-piece at the height of their rage as they emanate a grim edict against imperialism, genocide, capitalism and social injustice. Junta's uncompromising and militant vision has been known for years in New York City, frequently manifesting with benefit shows across the city aimed at the empowerment and defense of the city's vibrant multicultural underground to which they belong and have committed unconditional militancy. The self-tiled eleven-track weapon of social unrest and abject refusal represents the band's sense of belonging and commitment to a social fabric torn by segregation and injustice and their strenuous combat against powers much larger than themselves which has resulted in a bleak manifesto of cultural warfare. The work encompasses the most bitter aspects of idealism and realism, with this ambivalent concept animating a raw onslaught of blown out, dissonant hardcore aggression interwoven with passages of poetry and spoken word that define and exalt an existence spent at the forefront of strugge and in a perpetual fight for enlightenment and retribution.

Formed in 2015, Junta is a hardcore punk band from New York City with its roots stemming, and running beyond. Over the years the band has brought its dark, dissonant and caustic raw hardcore attack and uncompromising commentary to many stages in and around NYC, playing endless shows with bands Like Dead Heat, Regional Justice Center, Skourge, Spy, Blu Anxiety, Jarhead Fertilizer, Deli Girls and many more. In joy and resistance, the band has also played numerous benefit shows over the years as a motive and drive for continuing their fight. The band then prepared to release its debut album on Sentient Ruin in early 2024, a record that is a focused demonstration and byproduct of the cruelty from our past, the community of our present and the obstacles of our future.

CHAOS ECHŒS: Defunct French Experimental Death Metal Legends Commemorate 2012 Debut Offering "Tone of Things to Come" With Exclusive 10th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue - Pre-orders Available.

We’re proud to commemorate the ten year anniversary of Chaos Echœs' first ever release, 2012’ “Tone of Things to Come”, celebrated as a limited edition vinyl reissue with enhanced artwork to homage and consecrate the origin of an unforgettable legacy that will never fade our memory's reach. Vinyl and digital pre-orders are already open with a ship date set to December 22 2023.

With "Tone of Things to Come" Chaos Echœs instantly established themselves as the very future of underground extreme metal, elaborating a formula rooted in arcane sepulchral dark death metal characterized by lengthy instrumentals and innovative detours deep into remote areas of history, art, culture and lore that would dictate the rhythm and tempo of a staggering metamorphosis of ascension. Still rooted in the legacy of Incantation, Morbid Angel, and Immolation, at its inception "Tone of Things to Come" had however already revealed widespread mutations in the fabric of conventional extreme metal and opened the eye of transformation, with its omniscient glare gazing through a spectral veil concealing abhorrent forms of ritualism and exploration within it. Enigmatic minimalisms crafted from unconventional instrumentations and improvisational free-flowing jam sessions were an already well established means of transcendence and transmutation within this earliest form of the band, and "Tone of Things to Come"'s oracular load of experimentation was already foreboding musical changes in consciousness and perception on a massive scale lurking not too far away on the horizon. A would-be future for extreme metal which we all now too-well know, love, and will forever miss.

There will never again be an entity quite like Chaos Echœs, one capable of opening worlds within the listener and which had become such a synonym of transformation and of the fearless defiance of dogmas and conventions. A beacon for metamorphosis and boundary-dissolvement bridging effortlessly the sidereal distances between performance art, world music, ritualism, and death metal, that would help cement thereafter the undeniable and manifested explorative genetics of extreme metal. And as the sands of time and the immortality of this legacy fixate the greatness and majesty of those who dare, burning them forever into our minds, "Tone of Things to Come" remains a reminder for all that great legacies are built on great transformations, and the courage that motivates them. 

From NUCLEAR WAR NOW! PRODS.: "Deriving their name from the last album by their predecessors, Bloody Sign, Chaos Echœs established themselves as France’s masters of Avant Garde Death after quietly releasing a series of EPs featuring the band’s characteristically unorthodox material. Combining magnificent complexity, an exceptionally high degree of musicianship, and a distinct sense of experimentalism, Chaos Echœs is among the most captivating bands in the underground – a band truly incapable of simple categorization."

France's Chaos Echœs were truly one of the most unique, forward-thinking, mind-bending, and genre defying metal bands to emerge in the underground in recent times. Their ritualistic death metal found such a high degree of expression nowhere else, while their keen sense of experimentalism and free-form approach to extreme metal has always yielded time after a time an utterly magnificent, mesmerizing, and extremely profound body of work. Within their framework of jazz-laden, lysergic, and almost unpredictable death metal one can always distill the purest essence of improvisation, as it is meant to be only in the most ambitious and purest forms of unshackled artistry. With no boundaries or rules limiting them, Chaos Echœs have always reached beyond and tapped into the unknown, bringing together time after time some of the most extraordinary and unsettling forms of musical synthesis ever achieved by extreme metal. With songs blending death, doom and black metal, prog, kraut, free-jazz, drone, and immaterial tribal ritualism, demos and EPs released as live improvised recordings, full-length albums always showing a fathomless ambition and experimentalism, and artwork always lying on the border between the absurd and the grandiose, Chaos Echœs were consistently from 2011 to 2019 one of the greatest bands in experimental underground metal.



SULFURIC HATRED: American Warnoise Terrorists Announce Decimating Self-Titled Debut Album - Track Premiered at Machine Music.

We’re very excited to announce the debut self-titled album by emerging East Coast chaos-mongering warnoise terrorists Sulfuric Hatred (formed by vocalist Alexander Jones of Undeath, guitarist/bassist Liam McMahon of Vile Ritual, and Sam Shereck of Stabbed, Exsanguinated, Bowel Erosion, Blame God, ex-Pink Mass, ex-Reeking Aura etc. ), scheduled for a December 15 release on LP, MC, CD, and digital formats worldwide via Sentient Ruin.

The cataclysmic debut offering has been teased by always attentive music blog Machine Music, who in premiering the song “Foul Poison Insatiable” have remarked how the release represents “one of the best, most ferocious death metal albums of the year.“ - you can read the feature and check out the song HERE.

The self-titled Sulfuric Hatred album brings a new meaning and purpose to the concept of dehumanizing music and of its forced transmutation into a weapon. Bringing the listener to their knees to surrender, succumb and dissolve before the omnipotency and immensity of absolute armageddon, across its elven tracks and thirty four minutes of musical terrorism, Sulfuric Hatred experiment on human senses the limits and effects of complete audial insanity. Black metal, grindcore, and death metal in this context can be used as nothing more than simplistic references for the sake of generalization, as the actual and true fabric really materializing this abomination is something that can hardly be associated to music and which is actually closer to pure noise, to other forms of experimental sensorial warfare or to abstract idealizations of pure terror. An underlying contradiction that can not be overlooked defines this senseless display of audial savagery: where in most bands and subgenera of extreme music an antihuman aspect is sought out musically, in the case of Sulfuric Hatred, the formula of bass, guitar, drums and vocals is actually the last human thing standing. The incessant carpet-bombing blasting, the ear-splitting screams, and the mangled, chaotic guitar carnage, in the chaos-torn world of Sulfuric Hatred are nothing but the last shred of humanity left. Everything else being engulfed and devoured in this blown out, noise-broken abomination, is the embodiment of absolute, abstract, and conceptual antihuman bedlam.

Sulfuric Hatred formed in late 2021 from the dismal imagination of guitarist/bassist Liam McMahon (Vile Ritual), and vocalist Alexander Jones (Undeath), who had envisioned a weaponized form of audio terrorism inspired by black/death metal bands like Angelcorpse, Blasphemy and Conqueror, but with an augmented load of ruin brought forth by their parallel interest in powerviolence and industrial noise. The duo set out to create a debut demo to test their ideas, which materialized as the 2022 "Demo MMXXII" cassette tape released via Transylvanian Recordings. This release cemented the duo's vision and ambition to explore their war-mongering creation further, so drummer Sam Shereck (of Stabbed, Exsanguinated, Bowel Erosion, Blame God, ex-Pink Mass, ex-Reeking Aura etc.) was brought on board to free the band of the studio-only environment and transform it into free-raging weapon of mass annihilation that could decimate stages and assume a more dynamic and self-sustained band form. This new lineup as a trio found immediate alchemy and set out to write and record their official self-titled debut album released by Sentient Ruin in late 2023, an ear-splitting cauldron of noise-ravaged black/death metal terror compounded from pure chaos and spread across eleven tracks and over thirty six minutes of cataclysmic audial warfare.
