"We discovered the Spanish death metal band Morbid Flesh in 2014. During that year we had the pleasure of premiering a stream of their EP Embedded In the Ossuary, which was a stunningly accomplished infliction of death metal cruelty and pestilence in the old Swedish style. Morbid Flesh are now returning with their second album, Rites of the Mangled, which will be released by Unholy Prophecies on April 24. We have already vomited our enthusiasm for one track from the album ("Circle Cursed"), and now it's our ghoulish pleasure to bring you a second one - "Heretics Hammer".
"Circle Cursed" was perhaps less an example of classic Swe-death than a firestorm of disease and destruction, its riffs and pacing turning from rapacious savagery to festering decomposition, and back again. And you'll get a good headbang going as the song romps and gallops. What then does "Heretics Hammer" hold in store for you?
The first sign of the song's hellish power comes through a truly foul blast of horrifying vocal vomit - and if you haven't heard Morbid Flesh before, you'd better get used to it, because the cavernous, inhuman vocals are one of the album's terrifying strengths - but certainly not the only one. The vocal assault is backed by head-hammering percussion and malignant riffing - and then the song begins to morph (as they all do). This dynamic track includes d-beat rampaging with the destructive force of some tank battalion charging straight from the gates of hell, pulsating berserker riff frenzies, a slow thunderous march with a solo that oozes disease, grim lurching horrors, and at the end, a mournful dirge that conveys all-too-human grief.
Morbid Flesh pay their deepest respects to the old ways of death fucking metal, but they do it with such flair and force that their music breathes new life into this old corpse.
Rites of the Mangled was recorded, mixed, and mastered by the masterful Javi Felez at his Moontower Studios in Catalonia. It features guest appearances by Blasphemic Vomitor from Insulters, Xavi of Tort, and Xavier from Ósserp and Crani Septic."
We are proud to present MORBID FLESH's highly anticipated second album, "Rites of the Mangled". Proudly Catalonian, this Barcelona-based band is fitingly named, for they are authentically and unequivocally morbid, old-school DEATH fuckin' METAL. Which is all not that surprising considering MORBID FLESH's membership includes scene veterans who do time in such hordes as INSULTERS, GRAVEYARD, ÓSSERP, CUERNO, TORT and SHEIDIM among others. What results is a mammoth, elephantine bulldozer of disgusting, disease-drenched Death Metal in a most classic Swedish manner.
MORBID FLESH formed in 2007, and delivered the "Dying Lapidation" demo in 2009. Two years later came their debut album through Memento Mori, "Reborn in Death". Aptly titled, "Reborn in Death" proved that the classic Swedeath well had not run dry, and the album went on to be become a cherished record among Death Metal diehards. But in 2014, MORBID FLESH delivered their first strike for Unholy Prophecies, "Embedded in the Ossuary". A swift-hitting EP draped in appropriately moody cover art, "Embedded in the Ossuary" showed that the band could take their rottenly unfresh classicisms and dump more darkness and doom upon them.
And that's precisely where "Rites of the Mangled" comes in. Likewise adorned with classic Death Metal cover art, MORBID FLESH's second album kicks in with no superfluous adornment and proceeds to bury the listener under bones, entrails, and human ash. Its ever-onward crush simply does not relent, and this patient application of tank-tread terror is the key to the record's success: whereas so many Death Metal bands are impatient to go nowhere quickly, MORBID FLESH simply slog forward in a most unselfconscious manner, letting their metric shit-tons of riff bury the listener in righteous oblivion while often dragging the listener down into the bowels of unforgiving doom. Of course, this monumental crush of "Rites of the Mangled" is largely thanks to Javi Felez, who recorded, mixed, and mastered the album at his Moontower Studios (GRAVEYARD, CARNAL TOMB, TEITANBLOOD, NOMINON, etc!). Featuring guest appearances by Blasphemic Vomitor from INSULTERS, Xavi of TORT, and Xavier from CRANI SEPTIC/ASTIGARRAGA THROER/ÓSSERP, "Rites of the Mangled" is MORBID FLESH's magnum opus!
