Hailing from Chile and armed with blood-stained scythes & rust-eaten knives, Deathwards finally release their debut album, ‘Realms of Sin’ on October 30. This is Death Metal in its earliest and most uncompromising form – born from the violent mutation Thrash and Speed Metal underwent, when this music still felt dangerous and every riff carried the smell of underground conviction. Inspired by the savage spirit of the late 80´ies, Deathwards resurrect the primal aggression, sinister atmosphere and relentless songwriting that defined the genre’s inception 40 years ago. Razor-sharp riffs, venomous vocals, untamed solos and a performance so authentic, it could have been unearthed from a forgotten 1987 master tape.
As all of this wouldn´t have been enough, something even darker lurks beneath the bones.
‘Realms of Sin’ dives into the abyss of guilt, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, fraud and eternal punishment, drawing heavy inspiration from Dante’s Inferno, biblical imagery and medieval visions of damnation. Their lyrics explore spiritual collapse, metaphysical suffering, divine judgment and humanity’s corrupt irreversibility. Every composition feels like the next step into an endless maze where redemption has been long forgotten and ceased to exist.
The music reflects this perceptions, carrying an atmosphere fully oppressive, solemn and utterly merciless. No trendy gimmicks, no overproduced artificiality, no sterile perfection, this record is the middlefinger in the face of all, who crave for the above mentioned. Every riff breathes black, chasing the next as it tears into another, riff after riff, each one sharp, deadly and vicious, every solo burns, every drumbeat serves and delivers instead of ego poser wanking. This is ancient, evil Death Metal with its Thrash roots fully intact – ferocious, sinister and unmistakably authentic. Every note, every word and every image exists with utterly purpose. ‘Realms Of Sin’ is not a mere tribute to the past. It is the real spirit brought back to life.
Ancient. Malicious. Uncompromising. Death thrashing Metal.
