Eternal Rot

Eternal Rot: 'Putridarium' album out next month

Set up in the UK in 2012 by Mayer (vocals, guitars, bass, drum programming) and Grindak (vocals), and recently joined by live drummer, Psychoradek (The Dead Goats, Neuropathia, Meat Spreader), the disgusting duo debuted with a two-piece 'Promo Tape 2013' containing what was to become their trademark – doomy and sludgy, ghastly and mournful, slow as hell metal of death based on the best traditions of the genre but already signaling the guys' own and original attitude to the style they'd decided to pursue.

In 2018, the former two officially debuted under the wings of Godz Ov War Productions with the four-piece, highly acclaimed 'Cadaverine' album, and now they return as a threesome with the long awaited 'Putridarium' – an utterly filthy and cadaverous death doom metal colossus that will be coming to the murky morgues near you as of July 6, 2020 on CD/LP/MC/digital. Delivered in the most elementary manner, devoid of absolutely any ornaments, still rotten, putrid, hideous and abysmal, definitely and totally defleshed and dehumanized, monstrous as always but even more massive than ever before, 'Putridarium' is an opus of inhuman, sinister, putrescent and fetid as a zombie death doom metal from the filthiest and the most malodorous of crypts, immersed in a mouldy and decaying ambience you could only find in the oldest and most abandoned cemeteries, a truly putrefied death doom metal very few could ever conceive these days... From the opening, hideous notes to the closing, mind-blowing and body-mutilating sounds, from the guttural howls and growls, from the bone-crushing riffs through the murderous and pounding rhythm section, the album will simply bulldoze everything on its way!

Track listing:
1. Downward among the Departed
2. Serenity through Maniacal Flagellation with Decomposing Limbs
3. Endless Stream of Coffins
4. Descent into Torment

The eternally rotting, undead trio are quite straightforward about their latest release: "This offering is emanated from the hearts of the maniacs straight to the ears of likeminded ones who look at the world through death metal eyes. 'Putridarium' wasn't created for any larger audiences but for those few tortured souls who crave for deathlike atmosphere, heaviness and the aura of horror. Eternal Rot is a strange entity, trying to evoke this unique feel which crept up the spines while listening to (our) favourite albums many years ago, (it is) a love letter to the Black Sabbath's deadliest bastard child called death metal."

'Putridarium' was excavated between 2018 and 2019 below the tomb of Eternal Rot. Drums were recorded and guitars were reamped at Dobra 12 Studio, Białystok, while mixing and mastering duties were handled by Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio. All the intros were provided by Zenial, and additional screams by Melissa. Other than that, the artwork was executed by the one and only Mark Riddick, the album title logo was designed and executed by Paweł Martowicz (Nuclear Tattoo Sanok), and the new band logo was designed and executed by Psychoradek.
