PRESS RELEASE

Helldrifter Unleashes Final Single “Martyrs Of A Dying Age” + Album Shell of Inexistence Out Now via Violent Creek Records!

Stuttgart, Germany – The wait is over! German Melodic Death Metal juggernaut Helldrifter has officially released their highly anticipated new album Shell of Inexistence via Violent Creek Records , now available worldwide on all digital platforms!

As a final preview before the full release, the band has dropped a lyric video for their latest and last single, “Martyrs Of A Dying Age” – now streaming at: YouTube

Opening the album, “Martyrs Of A Dying Age” catapults listeners into Helldrifter’s dystopian vision of nuclear doom. With an atmospheric intro and pummeling execution, the track sets a dark tone, lyrically painting images of despair and the collapse of civilization.

This comes on the heels of their previous singles, including the crushing “Suicide Strike” , a ferocious composition that channels the chaos of a suicide bomber through guttural grooves and intense riffage reminiscent of Cannibal Corpse’s Evisceration Plague and Morbid Angel’s God of Emptiness .

Additionally, Helldrifter recently unleashed the official video for “Reckoning In Blood” , a brutal visual assault highlighting their signature blend of aggressive precision and apocalyptic themes. Watch it now on YouTube.
