Today, death metal barbarians
Perdition Temple reveal the new track
"Redemption Abattoir." The track is
the first to be revealed from the band's special new full-length,
Merciless Upheaval , set to be released on CD and cassette tape in June by
Hells Headbangers ; the vinyl version will follow later this year. Hear
Perdition Temple 's "Redemption Abattoir" in its entirety
HERE at
Hells Headbangers ' official YouTube channel.
In 2020,
Perdition Temple blasted back into the spotlight with
Sacraments of Descension , the band's second album for
Hells Headbangers (and third overall). While it had been five years since the release of a
Perdition Temple full-length, the reinvigorated lineup - vocalist/guitarist Gene Palubicki (Angelcorpse,
Malefic Throne ,
Blasphemic Cruelty ), bassist Alex Blume (Ares Kingdom,
Blasphemic Cruelty ), and drummer Ron Parmer (Malevolent Creation, Bloodmessiah, Brutality) - kept their trademark sound but made it unfathomably more feverish and finessed. Truly, power-trios didn't come more deadly than this! But, above all, the band's songwriting across
Sacraments of Descension was stronger than ever, and the record rightfully reaped widespread acclaim.
Meanwhile, as the world plummeted further into chaos,
Perdition Temple recorded a special full-length,
Merciless Upheaval . Comprising four new songs and four covers for a total of 34 fiery minutes,
Merciless Upheaval is indeed aptly titled and serves as a fitting, equally feverish counterpart to
Sacraments of Descension . Much of that is down to the same lineup being in place, as iron-fisted as ever as they effortlessly unleash cyclones of classic death metal. Each member delivers a masterclass here, much as they did on the record's predecessor; their crush is chaotic and controlled simultaneously, their precision betraying no small amount of power. Of the four covers, we're treated to
Perdition Temple 'd renditions of Infernal Majesty, Pestilence, Mexico's Shub Niggurath, and of course Morbid Angel, making for an album-length experience which handily straddles past, present, and future.
Perdition Temple thankfully continue to keep their irons in the fire, so plunge into
Merciless Upheaval post-
haste!
