PATHOGENIC RELEASE "CROWNED IN CORPSES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Boston's PATHOGENIC has launched the official music video for the title track off their new album, Crowned in Corpses.

PATHOGENIC vocalist Jake Burns comments on the song.

“Lyrically, 'Crowned in Corpses' forces an acknowledgment of the bloodlust and brutality that drive wars of conquest. The opening command to “spill the blood of your enemies” is presented without justification, setting the tone for a song that makes no attempt to explain or rationalize the violence it depicts. This deliberate absence underscores the role of media and political narratives in making such conflicts more palatable. Wars of conquest spread unimaginable misery, and no matter the pretext, the conqueror wears a crown paid for with the blood and suffering of others."

The premiere for "Crowned in Corpses" comes via Decibel Magazine. Stream the video now at this location. https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2025/01/16/video-premiere-pathogenic-crowned-in-corpses/

Skepsis Recordings will release Crowned in Corpses on February 7, 2025. Pre-order the album now at www.skepsisrecordings.com.

In support of the album, PATHOGENIC will hit the road with technical metal band Leylines (members of Through the Eyes of the Dead and ex-The Contortionist). The tour kicks off March 1 in Nashville. Dates are as follows.

3/1 - DRKMTTR - Nashville, TN

3/2 - Culture Shock - Atlanta, GA

3/3 - The Milestone - Charlotte, NC

3/4 - Chapel of Bones - Raleigh, NC

3/5 - The Metro - Baltimore, MD

3/6 - The Nail - Ardmore, PA

3/7 - The Woodshop - Brooklyn, NY

3/8 - The Middle East, Upstairs - Boston, MA

Crowned in Corpses marks the band's first full-length release in over half a decade, promising a bold evolution of their signature brand of progressive tech death, while retaining the intensity that has defined the band for years.

The album was produced by Raymond Marte (Moon Tooth), Anthony Lopardo (Loss Becomes), and ourselves. Raymond Marte mixed and mastered the record. Crowned in Corpses music video was shot by Nick Court of Killing It Entertainment.

Stream more PATHOGENIC on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

Out of Boston’s depths emerges PATHOGENIC, a force unshackled from hiatus and reborn with Crowned in Corpses. Over 42 punishing minutes, this progressive death metal quintet weaves together labyrinthine riffs, relentless rhythms, and chilling visions of a decaying world.

In 2022, the band’s resurgence was ignited when original vocalist Jake Burns and new drummer Tyler Montaquila joined forces with guitarists Chris Gardino, Justin Licht, and bassist Dan Leahy. Together, they’ve forged a sound that is ferocious, intricate, and unapologetically heavy — delivering metal that demands to be heard.

PATHOGENIC has shared stages with legends like Suffocation, Revocation, and The Faceless, and has annihilated crowds at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and RPM Fest. Known for their high-octane live performances, the band’s energy and command leave audiences with no choice but to headbang furiously.

Set to release on February 7, 2025, through Skepsis Recordings, Crowned in Corpses is a ferocious musical declaration: eight tracks of devastating power and haunting warnings of the darkness that lies ahead.

PATHOGENIC is:

Jake Burns - vocals

Chris Gardino - guitars

Justin Licht - guitars

Dan Leahy - bass

Tyler Montaquila - drums

TOMBS OF DISGUST RELEASE GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH FOR "THE LOOMING STORM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Video Link: Tombs of Disgust - The Looming Storm (Guitar Playthrough)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k5dVHp-PM8

Tombs of Disgust, the Brutal Death Metal band from Ontario, Canada, is set to release their highly anticipated debut EP, 'Shadow of War' on April 25th, 2025. Tombs of Disgust’s music is an infectious exploration that is both punishing and unrelenting heaviness. Shadow of War represents a chapter in the dark narrative of self awareness and constant war within, while the band crushingly blends brutal riffs and chaotic intensity.

About Tombs of Disgust:

Tombs of Disgust began in 2021 in Oshawa, Ontario by vocalist Josh Willms and Richard Mitchell, two longtime friends and collaborators who had come together to express brutal music during the pandemic. The entity that Tombs of Disgust formed became an outlet to process the isolation and unparalleled turmoil that needed to be unleashed, and quickly became the vehicle for this savagery which was joined by Kieran, Sahil, and Dustin to annihilate with blistering riffs.  

Statement from Kieran McGrath about their single, The Looming Storm:

"The Looming Storm" is a powerful and intense exploration of inner conflict. This sense of impending dread reflects the internal struggle of dealing with trauma that may not be easily recognized or understood by others. The aggressive nature of the song likely amplifies the raw emotion and frustration that comes with confronting these difficult, often suppressed feelings. The aggressive riffs are used not just as musical elements, but as a metaphor for the overwhelming nature of internal turmoil mirroring the chaos of trying to navigate a storm that seems impossible to escape.

Tombs of Disgust is:

Josh Willms - Vocals

Kieran McGrath - Guitar

Richard Mitchell - Guitar

Sahil Suleman - Bass

Dustin Sargent - Drums

DIMMAN RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "CEASE THE VENGEANCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Finnish melodic death metal band Dimman is set to release their second studio album 'Consciousness' on February 28th 2025 via Inverse Records. The fourth and last single 'Cease The Vengeance' is released today and the lyric video is available here: https://youtu.be/yJNW7IMycII 

"Cease the Vengeance is the most romantic song on the album, almost a mid-tempo waltz by Dimman's standards. The song serves as a crucial part of the album both musically and lyrically. Its musical roots revolve around traditional melodic death metal and doom, complementing the extensive expression of previous singles. Thematically, 'Cease the Vengeance' tells how difficulties can be overcome, even if one has to momentarily crawl through the depths." says, Jaakko Yli-Sorvari, guitars
