PRESS RELEASE:
Band: Cesspool Of Corruption
Album: Requiems Of The Ignominious
Releases: August 6th, 2021
Genre: Death Metal
Location: Texas, USA
Introducing the debut LP from Cesspool Of Corruption: a young death metal band from Texas honing in on their own particular brand of death that is both fast and technical without ever sacrificing brutality and flow. Well mixed drumming, contempt-filled riffs, old school solos, and a mix of low growls and high screams that work in unison to shout down at society throughout the run-time of Requiems Of The Ignominious. All of this from the very start of the album, there's no messing around with an opener like "Insidious Inheritance", no gimmicks or "intro" track, just straight into the hammering beats and tales of gore from outer space. The drumming from Brennan Shackelford is something else though, it's a really huge part of the album that very much sticks out in a sea of generic death metal drummers right now. It's no surprise that he is also a live drummer for Disentomb among many other bands.
Ignominious: Characterized by or deserving shame or disgrace
The band is available for interview and any reviews will be greatly appreciated. Below is further information regarding the release including a synopsis written by the band directly.
Toilet Ov Hell Premiere: https://toiletovhell.com/tech-death-thursday-cesspool-of-corruption-insidious-inheritance/
"Insidious Inheritance” is the first single from their upcoming album, Requiems of the Ignominious, and it sees the band going faster, harder, more aggressive, and more technical in all respects to what they did before. This is quintessential tech death, exactly the kind of music that comes to mind when I think about the genre, and it’s a great time. This should strongly appeal to fans of bands like Decrepit Birth and Ominous Ruin, especially if you like a more melodic twist on that style"

"For our newest release, Requiems of The Ignominious, we felt we wanted to push the envelope a little further this time around. We wanted to showcase what we felt was a clear evolution of our already existing sound beyond its initial form from the EP. We wanted to expand on everything a little further, incorporate new ideas, and further refine a sound and approach that we feel will help become instantly identifiable with Cesspool of Corruption. Some of the songs are a bit older still, and somewhat are more directly akin to the EP era a bit. We kept these as we felt the transition and progress was tracked better as the album moves toward songs that are more recently written and constructed within the last few years. As far as conceptually, we further explore various tales relating to misanthropy and the darker sides of humanity, as well as how the human condition is affected by everything around us, however seen or unseen. Each song is essentially a very loose story about something in our society. Whether it be the inevitability of death, manipulation of our lives that remains unseen, or instances of man’s reach exceeding his grasp. We did start to move some of the subject matter into somewhat of a more horror style approach on a few tracks to shift into a different type of dynamic lyrically speaking".
