As you gaze upon that macabre artwork above, which so vividly renders a boiling eruption of demonic forms and other unspeakable abominations from an unsealed crypt, imagine if you will a soundtrack to such a foul and frenzied orgy. But don’t overtax your imaginations, because we have a perfect soundtrack already, one extracted from the album adorned by that hellish image.
The album has the entirely appropriate title Worshippers of Unearthly Perversions, and it is the deviant work of a band from Stockholm with the entirely appropriate name Beastiality. This is the band’s first full-length album, and it will be discharged by Invictus Productions on December 15, with the apparent aim of bringing 2017 to a premature end under a toxic pyroclastic flow of black speed metal. The excerpt we have for you is a track called “Riders of Imminent Death“.
Some images of hell, manifested through some forms of black metal, capture occult scenes of terror and torture. Bloodletting and butchery would not be out of place in the visions spawned by Beastiality’s music, but such events would just be part and parcel of an alcohol-fueled night of debauchery. Rather than cold, bleak, and eerie sounds, Beastiality heat up a sonic cauldron that stinks of sulphur, sweat, and freshly carved body parts.
“Riders of Imminent Death” roils and rips, but while the music is a fast-paced romp from start to finish, the band take fiendish pleasure in changing the drum patterns, the riffs, and even the speed of the attack, with the blasting becoming even faster and the fret-leaping guitar work surging to an even more maniacal boil by the end, compared to how things begin. There’s plenty of battering, hammering, and galloping in the drum-work, plenty of freakish derangement in the riffing and the darting arpeggios, and plenty of raw, carnivorous hunger in vocalist’s channel-shifting demonic proclamations. And the bubbling bass tones are given a worthy prominence in the mix as well.
“Riders of Imminent Death” is one of 8 tracks on the album, three of which are re-recorded versions of previously released songs, along with five brand new atrocities.

I count 7 dicks.
Yes..these dude have been dicking around with splits and demo’s for too long. Can’t wait for this!
I didn’t count the number of dicks, but I do see three decapitated female torsos, and a few still with their heads attached being violated in different ways. All in good fun, of course.
Sorta sounds like the squirts in a cavern. I mean, really, wouldn’t this sound amazing with a 20th century mix!? FFS. I like the energy and material but it sounds like crap.
This seems like an ageless debate. In my dreamworld I’d probably like a remix, just to hear what you’re wishing for, and compare the one to the other. But as is pretty obvious from what I wrote, I can drown in the cavernous squirts of this just as it is. 🙂
