***Formed by members of Encoffinate, Radioactive Vomit, Grave Infestation, Mass Grave, Temple of Abandonment, Nightfucker, Deathwinds etc., war-mongering bestial black/death metal cult Ceremonial Bloodbath re-emerge from the fetid underground of Vancouver, BC with their sophomore full-length abomination, Genesis of Malignant Entropy, an all-devouring, abyss-like monstrosity conceived from pure terror and insanity. Seemingly dwelling on a plane of atrocity entirely its own, Genesis of Malignant Entropy sees the Canadian horde once again draw its primeval life-force from the iconic legend of bands like Blasphemy, Bestial Warlust and Proclamation, but reworking it across a broader, more enigmatic canvas laced with a consciousness-obliterating amount of disassociatives and hallucinogens. Nothing less than an authentic horror of creation, this is a work in which the feral and animalistic traits of its main influences appear to be exaggerated to the point of acephalic bestiality, while a hideously deformed and surrealistic aura is achieved via pure sensorial torment and a complete deconstruction of reality. A fuming cauldron of skull-stomping neanderthalian drums, tortured howls, and on onslaught of demented, mangled guitars shrouded in destruction emerges from this unholy conception, rendering the listener nothing less than meat to be violently torn in an otherworldly primitive ritual disembodiment. The utter atrocity conceived and the strange and unorthodox ways through which such carnage was conceived will leave the listener butchered and sensorially violated in an authentic delirium of destruction.

***Canadian death metal terror legion Ceremonial Bloodbath are back with a limited edition 7" promo EP to reaffirm and perpetrate their tyrannic conquest as one of the most abominable and horrific extreme metal entities alive these days. Originally released earlier this year as a limited edition promo tape via Parasitic Records, the Mutilation of Sacrifice promo EP/demo now sees the light for the first time on vinyl via Sentient Ruin as a continued propagation of this inhuman entity's unholy domain and wake of endless aural deformities. The work once again masterfully references timeless extreme metal cults like Archgoat, Bestial Warlust, Vassafor, Black Witchery and Blasphemy, and sees the Vancouver BC-based disfigured death metal horde prepare the ground for their next abhorrent expedition into the outer realms of complete aural depravity with this raw, pestilent and unforgiving short-playing premonition to the full-fledged animalistic savagery and bestial annihilation they have lurking ahead.

***Vancouver BC death metal horde Ceremonial Bloodbath finally issue “The Tides of Blood”, a long awaited and highly anticipated debut full length album of abhorrent and malformed dark death metal twilight and of complete sonic torment emanating from a place of utter wretchedness and abandon. With its members coming from otherestablished VC BC bands like Scum Division Cult, Nightfucker, Encoffinate, Radioactive Vomit, Grave Infestation, Mass Grave, Temple of Abandonment and Deathwinds, Ceremonial Bloodbath is an unholy coalition of some of Vancouver BC's most established and experienced musicians, who have come together to forge the most darkened, demented and hideous strain of bastard death metal they could fathom, taking cues from bands like Blasphemy, Sarcófago, Mystifier, Beherit, Archgoat, Vassafor, Mortician, Deicide etc. and blurring the sum of their influences into a sonic monstrosity devoid of any sanity or shape. Both extremely primitive and regressed, but highly unpredictable and experimental, Ceremonial Bloodbath's death metal is a place in which reference points and familiarity are nihl and set against the odds of complete insanity and chaos. With its barbaric riffs twisted and bent out of shape, its schizoid leads and diseased atmospheres, and an execution delivered with complete barbarism and deformity, Ceremonial Bloodbath have created one of the most inverted, hallucinogenic, crepuscular, and inhuman death metal absurdities that you will hear all year.
