The band's 6th full-length sees them tread into ambitious new territory with their first concept album; a musical melodrama in thirteen parts based on shocking true events. Death Revenge tells the macabre tale of a series of brutal murders committed in order to sell the victims' cadavers to anatomists, and the grisly underground trade of grave-robbery in the late 1820s in Edinburgh, Scotland. Recorded with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Goatwhore, Hate Eternal, Gruesome), Death Revenge takes the band's signature gore-drenched, death metal mayhem to theatrical and ghastly new heights.

Some parishes had communal mortsafes or 'jankers' – huge coffin-shaped pieces of stone or metal put on new graves.” - Ruth Richardson Death, Dissection, and the Destitute 1987 “Resurrection men, your fate deplore, Retire with fore vexation, Your mystery's gone, your art's no more, No more your occupation : Surgeons no more shall ye ransack The grave with feelings callous Tho' on the Old Bailey turn'd your back, Your only hopes the gallows” - Mr. Diben The Patent Cof in 1818 Stalk through hallowed headstones For notes and coin, trade flesh and bone Your eternal rest may, become nocturnal wrest The newly deceased, still bereaved Snatched from their peace, taken without leave Truncated repose, for the decomposed Adamantine clasp of the mortsafe, the muddy bonds of earth Patent coffins do not vouchsafe, calm repose beneath the turf Stone walls do not a prison make, nor six feet of sod a grave Pray the lord your soul to take, you'll need defenders of the - Graves' occupants, so dearly prized But to butcher, not to eulogize To rest they were laid, now sold under the blade Who turns the key to the mortsafe, when the sexton stuffs his purse? Nightwatchmen cannot vouchsafe, calm repose beneath the turf Stone walls do not a prison make, nor six feet of sod a grave So pray the lord your soul to take, you'll need defenders of the grave Defenders of the grave, hallmarks of this ghoulish age Defenders of the grave, defenders of the - Solo – Matthew Harvey Solo – Michael Burke Stone walls do not a prison make, nor shovels full of sod a grave So pray the lord your soul to take, you'll need defenders of the grave Defenders of the grave, hallmarks of this ghoulish age Defenders of the grave, defenders of the - grave
