Norwegian
Death Metal band
Execration is putting the finishing touches on its second album, "Odes Of The Occult", for a fall release. According to a press release, the follow-up to 2008's "Syndicate Of Lethargy"
will contain "nine tracks of
Vicious,
Evil Death Metal on double
12-inch vinyl. It parts with the percussive style of previous releases
in favor of a wider set of influences drawing from
Death Metal, doom and
cult black metal. In 50-plus minutes, 'Odes Of The Occult' will
make your ears bleed from dark,
Brutal doom-laced
Death Metal chemically
cleansed of any 'modern'
Death Metal tricks. With 'Odes Of The Occult',
the band has also added more diverse vocals in addition to their
traditional guttural growls, giving their musical
Universe a new
dimension. The resulting album is a definite step ahead from previous
releases."
"Odes Of The Occult" was produced and recorded by the band with help from Andreas Tylden of Altaar and Ola Gundelsby. It is currently being mixed by Gundelsby, who also mixed the band's contribution to the "Oslo We Rot" split.
A demo version of the new track "Obsession" is available for streaming on Execration's MySpace page, and an early recording of "Entheogen" was recently featured on the four-way split 2x7" "In Oslo We Rot" with fellow Norwegians
Obliteration, Diskord and Lobotomized.
Execration's full-length debut, "Syndicate of Lethargy", was released in August 2008 via Vendlus Records. The follow-up to the 2007 EP "Language of the Dead" featured guest appearances by
Obliteration vocalist Sindre Solem,
She Said Destroy frontman Anders Bakke, Espen Hangård of Diskord and Noplacetohide, Andreas Tylden of
Altar and
JR Ewing and Svein Egil Hatlevik of
Fleurety and Zweizz.
According to a press release, the
Execration members "possess a taste for the finest vintage
Death Metal, but are strikingly contemporary in terms of composition and performance.
Execration masterfully conduct the essence of the genre's 25-year-long history, from pioneers
Autopsy and Death to reinventers
Nile and Disgorge."
