NEWS: Fossilization await cremation!

Doom infused Death Metal purveyors Fossilization have allowed Everlasting Spew Records to premier a stream of “Cremation Of A Seraph” from their forthcoming sophomore album “Advent Of Wounds”. The label have advised that the new work from the São Paulo natives will be shipping on 13th February on compact disc, cassette tape and of course digitally with a vinyl release set for late spring. Naturally we expect the album to be as bleak, crushing and claustrophobic as the bands last, front loaded with frantic and inexorable rhythms hammer with suffocating intensity and perhaps even some blackened chaos. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp

Thiago “V” Oliveira comments:  ““Advent of Wounds” began taking shape right after our tour with Father Befouled in late 2024. I knew I’d have to rethink my approach to songwriting, especially after years of writing with Paulo’s drumming style in mind. Life took us in different directions, so I opened myself up to new ideas and let that guide the creation of these tracks. From the start, my goal was to make an album even more brutal than Leprous Daylight, from sheer death metal brutality to the miserable melancholy of the doom-laden spirit of early Anathema, Paradise Lost, and early Katatonia. You can also hear many of black metal influences across the record, the opening riff of ‘Disentombed and Reassembled by the Ages’ is a direct nod to one of my all-time favorite bands, Antaeus. This time, I also wanted a new direction in the mix and master, so we worked with Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Turris Eburnea, Vertebra Atlantis). We also had Justin Stubbs (Father Befouled, Encoffination) appear on “Scalded by His Sacred Halo.” And, for the first time, the artwork features a painting instead of an illustration, created by the incredible Guang Yang.”
