NEWS: Ophiolatry announce new album “Serpent’s Verdict”!

Seventeen long years after their last full length album in 2008’s “Transmutation” a new record from Brazilian brutal death metal veterans Ophiolatry waits in the wings. Titled “Serpent’s Verdict“, it has a date of 6th June engraved upon its tombstone with WormHoleDeath Records announcing the bands signing for the release. Curiously while not described as a concept record, there is an overarching theme with a brutal, immersive descent into cycles of destruction, revenge and rebirth playing out with each track serving as a chapter in that narrative. A teaser for first single “Death Tour” is streaming now with the album itself mastered by the legendary Dan Swanö (Insomnium, Maceration, Dark Funeral).

The band comment: “The album delves into themes of spiritual revenge, indigenous resistance, and the clash between ancient traditions and imposed beliefs. Inspired by real events in the Amazon, mythology, and existential suffering, the lyrics paint vivid scenes of war, punishment, and transcendence through pain. Each song tells a story, whether it be about warriors resurrected for revenge, the wrath of serpent gods, or the fall of oppressive ideologies. The words are raw, intense, and unrelenting, reflecting the chaotic brutality of the music itself.”
