Monument Of Misanthropy Reveal New Album Details
European technical brutal death metal institution Monument Of Misanthropy have teamed up with Metalundergound.com to reveal the initial details for their third studio full-length. That upcoming album is titled "Vile Postmortem Irrumatio - Kemper" and the artwork for it, done by Ukrainian artist Andriy Tkalenko of Daemorph Art, can be seen in the video streaming below.
A 2023 release date is being eyed for the outing via Transcending Obscurity Records, which like its predecessor "Unterweger" is a concept album about a serial killer. This time around the band has decided to write an album based on the shocking life of the American serial killer Ed Kemper. Kemper was nicknamed the Co-ed Killer, as most of his victims were female college students hitchhiking in the vicinity of Santa Cruz County, California.

Slam death metallers, Analepsy, have released a lyric video for their new single, "Spasmodic Dissonance", feat. Suffocation's Ricky Myers on guest vocals. The song appears on the band's forthcoming album, "Quiescence." You can check it out below.

"Quiescence" continues the space motif from Analepsy’s previous releases, but from a different perspective. There are no living creatures, only the deserted cosmos awaiting its own demise. The album features guest appearances from Ricky Myers (Suffocation, Disgorge), Angel Ochoa (Cephalotripsy, Disgorge, Abominable Putridity, Condemned) and Wilson Ng (Facelift Deformation, Vermicular Incubation).
The band commented: "We are delighted to present our most recent work: Quiescence! This has been a tight process, and despite all the changes the band went through, everything worked like clockwork. The essence of our music lives on!"
The recordings of "Quiescence" took three months (August - October, 2021), entailing the skills of guitarist/co-founder Marco Martins, guitarist/vocalist Calin Paraschiv (ex-Pestilence), bassist João Jacinto and ex-drummer Tiago Correia. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Miguel Tereso at Demigod Recordings studio in Caxarias, Portugal. The cover artwork was created by Pedro Sena - Lordigan. More...

"Hope you all enjoy this live version of 'Pierced from Within.' This song has always been a staple of the Suffocation arsenal as it's one of our favourite musical pieces to play. When going through the live recording and figuring out which songs to tease this release we didn't even have a second thought when it came to 'Pierced from Within' and we couldn't be more proud of how this live version sounds. This song has transcended almost 3 decades and still holds its potency in our set to this very day as well as being intricate with breaking major ground for us in the death metal world since its original release. Hope you all crank it out loud and let Suffocation fill your homes with some of our best death metal through the years!" More...
