PRESS RELEASE:

Rise of Tyrants

The Chronicles of Cardinal Pablo Mendoza

Brutal Records

28 February 2025

Brace yourself for absolute annihilation! Brutal Records has unleashed the apocalypse by signing Italy's masters of sonic destruction, Rise of Tyrants. Their highly anticipated album, The Chronicles of Cardinal Pablo Mendoza, is poised to detonate on February 28, 2025.

But the devastation doesn’t stop there! The Abnormality in Structure album will roar back with a full remaster, unleashing sheer chaos on February 7, 2025. Plus, prepare for the brutal resurgence of Trauma, hitting with a completely remastered fury on January 10, 2025, shattering all limits of brutality. This is raw, unrestrained death metal terror: merciless, bone-crushing, and utterly unstoppable. Get ready for total obliteration!

Rise Of Tyrants has returned, more ferocious and unforgiving than ever. This Bergamo-based powerhouse has dropped an eleven-track barrage of raw, self-produced brutality that makes their earlier work look like a warm-up. The energy is sharper, darker, and meaner. With Davide Cantamessa on vocals, a relentless force of raw aggression and versatility, the band has leveled up in every brutal way imaginable.

The Chronicles of Cardinal Pablo Mendoza comes at you like a battering ram of thrash and death metal riffs, with a rhythm section pounding forward like a war machine. The guitars are unrelenting, piling riff after punishing riff, layering death metal fury with an intensity that leaves no room to breathe. Cantamessa’s vocal attack rips through the wall of sound, moving seamlessly between guttural growls, visceral screams, and brutal tones that demand your attention.

The concept rotates around the character Cardinal Pablo Mendoza, an evil priest who deceives the weakest for perverse purposes.  The lyrics talk about abuses, violence and injustices with an ironic and sarcastic tone.

Davide Cantamessa: Vocals

Federico Visini: Guitars

Luca Mairati: Bass

Suffered Existence by Decrepid

For those eager to immerse themselves in the blistering chaos of death metal, Suffered Existence, the debut album from Wisconsin’s underground powerhouse Decrepid, is a must-listen.

This enigmatic yet commanding band encapsulates the genre’s raw essence with their standout track Decrepid—a ferocious display of unrelenting power and visceral intensity. From the electrifying opening riffs to the guttural growls, the song delivers an unyielding auditory assault, offering a cathartic experience for die-hard metal enthusiasts.

The band’s lineup is a force to be reckoned with. Darryl Hebert leads the charge with his searing guitar work and ferocious vocals, while Robert Popovich amplifies the chaos with his punishing rhythms and shared vocal duties. Brian Klug anchors the sound with bass lines that quake like tectonic shifts, and Scott Popovich drives the intensity with his feral and blistering drumming. Together, they create a sonic landscape as unrelenting as it is precise.

For fans of the underground death metal scene, Suffered Existence is more than just an album—it’s a testament to the unyielding spirit of the genre. Decrepid is not merely a band; they are a beacon within Wisconsin’s heavy music underground.
