FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wrath of Belial Unleash Their Most Ruthless Offering Yet with Sophomore Album “Embers of Dead Empires”

Denmark – Danish death metal juggernaut Wrath of Belial returns with fire and fury on their upcoming sophomore full-length, “Embers of Dead Empires” —a savage, refined, and punishingly tight release that casts a harsh light on human cruelty and societal decay. The album is set to drop in 2025 and features 10 meticulously crafted tracks packed with razor-sharp riffs, breakneck drumming, and searing vocals.

Pulling inspiration from death metal legends like Aborted , Suffocation , Cannibal Corpse , and even the progressive might of Mastodon , Embers of Dead Empires trades groove for hooks, delivering a more focused, accessible, and pummeling listening experience. The album showcases the band’s evolution in both songwriting and sonic brutality.

The record features the return of powerhouse drummer Bastian Thusgaard (Soilwork, Dawn of Demise, The Arcane Order), while lead guitar duties were finalized with blistering contributions from local virtuoso Alex Bossen (OXX). One track features a special appearance by drumming phenom Robin Stone , adding yet another layer of technical devastation. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Mendel bij de Leij (Aborted, Severe Torture, Cytotoxin), with drums recorded under the skilled engineering of Jacob Bredahl (Dead Rat Studios, Denmark).

Wrath of Belial 2025 Lineup:

Jonas L. Thomsen – Guitars

Bent Bisballe Nyeng – Drums

Kasper B. Hornstrup – Vocals

Richardt Olsen – Guitars

Anders F.S. Mikkelsen – Bass

New to the fold are Richardt Olsen (Dysgnostic, Imperious Mortality, Carbon Tomb) and Bent Bisballe Nyeng (Die, Seed of Heresy), now joining the ranks and poised to bring Embers of Dead Empires to stages with a vengeance.

The album was tracked with strings and vocals laid down in the band’s own studio, while drum tracking was helmed by Bredahl—bringing together a blend of DIY ethos and professional precision.

For fans of : The Black Dahlia Murder, Aborted, and high-speed death metal with a razor-sharp melodic edge.

“Embers of Dead Empires” is more than just a record—it's a sharpened spear aimed at the heart of apathy and decay. Stay tuned for release details, live dates, and more from Wrath of Belial as they ignite the underground once again.
