Once again Iron Bonehead Productions has brought us release news regarding another two of the year's most anticipated albums from two of the underground's most important bands - Sacrocurse and Tetragrammacide. Read on for full press release information and a track from each album.
Sacrocurse - 'Gnostic Holocaust.'
Iron Bonehead Productions sets October 27th as the international release date for Sacrocurse's highly anticipated second album, 'Gnostic Holocaust,' on vinyl LP format.
Following hot on the heels of their 'Destroying Chapels 7"' for Iron Bonehead last year, 'Gnostic Holocaust' sees Sacrocurse going from strength to strength and reaping their most ravenous whirlwind yet.
Whereas the 'Destroying Chapels EP' introduced the live lineup that's been in place for a couple years now, 'Gnostic Holocaust' is the first full-length display of the band's true power and potency. Here, Sacrocurse take all their original rudiments - bestial propulsion, immediately memorable songwriting, and mind-melted solos - and adds even more insanity and ritualism, more red-eyed and rabid than ever.
It's quintessential South American-style black/death witchery, but given a dosage of Ross Bay - steeped sturm und drang. What's more, while the power-trio are just as apt to blast away at dangerous speeds, there's expert pacing in their down-tempo death-marches, giving further iron-fisted thrust to what is truly a 'Gnostic Holocaust.'
Fan the flames of zealotry and prepare for Sacrocurse's Gnostic Holocaust!

Tetragrammacide - 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix.'
Iron Bonehead Productions sets November 3rd as the international release date for Tetragrammacide's massively anticipated debut album, 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix,' on CD, LP, and Cassette tape formats. 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix' was mixed and mastered at Nuclear Phoenix Studio in Russia.
One of the most genuinely threatening and overwhelmingly violent metal bands of modern times, Tetragrammacide truly began their explosive reign with the 'Typhonian Wormholes: Indecipherable Anti-Structural Formulæ' mini-album, released in late 2015 by Iron Bonehead Productions.
Then a duo, this Indian cult quickly reaped widespread acclaim (or general awe, at least) for how shockingly savage and unremittingly noisy 'Typhonian Wormholes' was. And yet, underneath all that blown-out barbarism and in-the-red frequencies lay an accomplished black/death band who were simply waiting for an opportune time to reveal a clearer portrait of their sonic holocaust. And now, that time has arrived with 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix.'
Now a power-trio, on 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix,' Tetragrammacide immediately lay bare their mission to decimate all contenders and pretenders left in the wake of the 'Typhonian Wormholes' mushroom cloud.
And indeed, after the unsettling intro, 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix' soon establishes a more sonically lucid style for the band: far clearer, stripped of noise both intentional and incidental, but swirling more severely and savagely into a fever dream of palpably physical heft, the trade-off works in the band's favor, and establishes a new paradigm for Tetragrammacide whilst not abandoning their initial foundation entirely. As the album plays and slays on, it quickly becomes apparent that Tetragrammacide have a dexterous songwriting ability in their already-bursting arsenal; from gutted ultra-grind to world-eating doom, all extremes are explored here, making the sensory overload all the more expansive.
Early on, references to Tetragrammacide's progenitors could be made - early Nyogthaeblisz, earlier Goatpenis, later Nuclearhammer, any Intolitarian - but now, the Indian trio can stand alongside them as contemporaries, as they've now firmly established a genocidal aura all their own.
And despite the concessions toward sonic clarity, they still don't belong to the "black metal" scene, nor especially the "death metal" one; "war metal" is still an apt appellation, but not as most understand it.
Which is all to say nothing of Tetragrammacide's crypto-scientific/occultic lyricism, which is taken to the furthest extremes on 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix.' Deciphering the codes behind titles like 'Meontological Marga of Misanthropic Computation and Extensive Backwards Physics,' 'Radicalized Matrikavyeda Operation: Militarized Cosmogrids Destabilization (Heralding Absolute Contraction),' and 'Intra-Dimensional Vessel of Were-Robotics, N-Logics and Assorted Lattice Intelligences,' among six others, is much like wandering amidst the hyperspatial audial vortex of the album itself.
More martial, more miasmic, and more fully serving the powers of chaos, Tetragrammacide have once again created a soundworld - this time, bigger and more OTT - where there is no hope, no mercy, NO FUN: no "scenes" exist because they've been obliterated by undulating, uncompromising waves of sonic hatred.
When faced with 'Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix,' survival was never an option, for submission begins the second you press play.
