In any credible death metal debate, Vomitory<\/strong> belong near the top of the bill. Since forming in 1989, the Swedish wrecking crew delivered eight full-length assaults between 1996 and 2011, helping define the genre’s modern extremity before bowing out in 2013. The silence didn’t last. A 30th<\/sup> anniversary return in 2019 reignited the fire, and 2023’s comeback crusher All Heads Are Gonna Roll<\/em> proved the band hadn’t dulled their blades.<\/p>\n Now, just three years later, they’re back with their latest barrage: In Death Throes<\/em>, due April 10 via Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n If the previous record marked a triumphant resurrection, In Death Throes<\/em> is the sound of a band tightening the screws. Drummer Tobias Gustafsson<\/strong> says the new material wastes no time picking up where its predecessor left off \u2013 only meaner.<\/p>\n “In Death Throes picks up where All Heads Are Gonna Roll<\/em> left off, but we’ve turned the intensity up a notch,” Gustafsson<\/strong> explains. “[New guitarist] Christian<\/strong> [Fredriksson<\/strong>] quickly found his place and even contributed music to four killer tracks. These additions bring a bit of diversity to our sound without straying too far from the formula.”<\/p>\n Drums and vocals were captured at Leon Music Studios in Karlstad with producer Rikard Lofgren<\/strong>, a longtime collaborator whose r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes several of the band’s earlier high-water marks. Guitars and bass were tracked at Goff Studios, also in Karlstad, with Fredriksson<\/strong> stepping in behind the board.<\/p>\n For mixing and mastering, Vomitory<\/strong> once again tapped Lawrence Mackrory<\/strong> at Rorysound Studios in Uppsala. Known for his work with Paradise Lost<\/strong>, Bloodbath<\/strong> and Lik<\/strong>, Mackrory<\/strong> delivered a production that hits with concrete heft but leaves enough air for the riffs to breathe.<\/p>\n Visually, the band stayed consistent. As with its predecessor, the artwork for In Death Throes<\/em> comes courtesy of Giannis Nakos<\/strong> of Remedy Art Design, whose past clients include Evergrey<\/strong>, Suffocation<\/strong> and The Crown<\/strong>. Layout duties were handled by Seiya Ogino<\/strong> of Ogino Design.<\/p>\n Ahead of the album’s release, Vomitory<\/strong> have unleashed the opening salvo: “For Gore And Country.” The track is pure forward momentum, weaponizing grind, D-beat chaos and groove-laden breakdowns into a single, unrelenting charge.<\/p>\n “‘For Gore And Country’ charges forward relentlessly just like the rotting hordes in the lyrics do,” Gustafsson<\/strong> says. “Starting off with a classic Vomitory<\/strong> grind, then diving headfirst into a total headbanging party, to then take off again into grind and D-beat turmoil. Oh wait! Another headbanging party towards the end of the song! For gore and country, we endure!”<\/p>\n Pre-orders are available here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n
