NEWS: Emasculator announce debut EP “The Disfigured and the Divine”!

Featuring a guest vocal appearance from Daniela Dahlien Neumanová (Noisebleed, The Corona Lantern, Diligence) on a track called “Age of the Goddess“, international Brutal Death band Emasculator have announced their debut EP “The Disfigured and the Divine“. Set to appear via New Standard Elite on 25th October, it will arrive after the band make their live debut at this year’s Texas Domination Fest in September. Hailing from Czechia and the United States, the group comprises Mallika Sundaramurthy (Nidorous-NSE, Unfathomable Ruination, ex-Abnormality), Morgehenna (PoonTickler), Teresa Wallace (Cartilage, Muldrotha, Feast) and newest member Cierra White (Harboured, Oak, Ash & Thorn). As a record, “The Disfigured and the Divine” delves into themes of the Goddess in mythology and legend, womanhood and motherhood, overcoming obstacles, justice, spirituality, the human experience, and growing into power. The title symbolizes the state of the Divine Feminine as experienced in the modern world; highly controlled, often under attack, suppressed but ever-present, potent, important, fierce and beautiful. Here’s “In Resplendent Terror” as the first taste.

Painted by vocalist Mallika Sundaramurthy, the cover artwork is a portrait of the Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta: “She is seen making the ultimate sacrifice for others. She has severed her own head and is feeding her followers with her life force, her own blood. In giving, she is also receiving nourishment. She has overcome death and will soon return her head to its place. She is standing on a love-making couple, meaning she is above the life-procreation-death cycle. She can also be interpreted as a mother figure who sacrifices for her children, as mothers sacrifice and even risk their lives for their babies during childbirth.”
