The Headbanging Moose Praises DETERIOROT’s Ferocious New Album Awakening

New Jersey, USA — October 2025 — The legendary American Death Metal force Deteriorot return from the crypt with their fourth and most devastating studio album to date, Awakening , out now via Xtreem Music . The album has already begun carving its mark in the underground, earning high praise from respected metal outlet The Headbanging Moose , who hail it as “a ferocious slab of old-school brutality standing shoulder to shoulder with early legends like Immolation, Incantation, and Mortician.”

Formed from the ashes of Mortuary in 1989, Deteriorot have spent decades perfecting their suffocating brand of death metal darkness. On Awakening , the band — featuring Paul Zavaleta (vocals/guitars), Arthur Reid (guitars), Travis Meredith (bass), and James Goetz (drums) — deliver a relentless barrage of grim atmosphere, crushing riffs, and bone-breaking percussion that channels the spirit of early Finnish and UK death metal while rooted in the raw, uncompromising brutality of New Jersey’s underground.

From the haunting intro of “Awakening” to the savage assault of “Deliver Us from Fiction” and the doom-soaked fury of “In Silence,” Deteriorot reaffirm their dominance as masters of classic American death metal. Every track bleeds with the essence of the genre — grim, primal, and completely unrelenting.

The Headbanging Moose praised Awakening as “proof of Deteriorot’s passion for the extreme and unrelenting hard work,” calling it “a worthy follow-up to 2023’s The Rebirth ” and “evidence that Deteriorot are once again ready to rise to the top of the classic American Death Metal mountain.”
