@primitive_moth & @grindheadrecords are proud to announce that the sophomore album from Wollongong’s brutal melodic death metallers @destructionofthehealer titled “A Universe Bereaved” will be out on June 9!🪓⚰️🔥⚔️ The first single, “Bestial Hunger,” is now available on all platforms (Link in bio), alongside an official music video edited by @main.street.studios ⚔️ https://youtu.be/OGkjzJrmuEI?si=dvKdyfECoNTjXnz7 ⚔️ /track/bestial-hunger-ft-liam-of-gosika “There’s no gloss here. ‘Bestial Hunger’ is tightly controlled chaos, driven by razor-sharp riffs and a performance that feels as volatile as it is deliberate. Featuring guest vocals from Liam Hedges of Gosika, the track pushes further into extremes, blending piercing highs and cavernous gutturals to conjure imagery of stalking, butchering, and cannibalising human cattle.” Tracklist: 1. Sekhmet 2. Immortal Bride 3. Taste Of Blood 4. Necrosignature 5. Interlude 6. So Our Kingdom Is Free 7. The Rot 8. Livyatan 9. The Great Dying 10. Bestial Hunger 11. Ad Astra, Amāta The artwork was created by their friend Mortifera and reflects the album’s central themes: cosmic tragedy and love entwined with death.

🔥 @malignant_aura - “Where All Of Worth Comes To Wither” vinyl is out now on @primitive_moth & @grindheadrecords - link in bio🔥 💥Blue & Yellow swirl vinyl & digital via - Primitive Moth /album/where-all-of-worth-come-to-wither Grindhead Records /album/where-all-of-worth-comes-to-wither Carrying forward the legacy of Australian death doom pioneers like Disembowelment and Cruciform, while standing tall alongside modern masters such as Mournful Congregation and Illimitable Dolour, MALIGNANT AURA weave sorrowful melodies, colossal riffs and suffocating atmosphere into a sound that is both vicious and triumphant. Crawling from beneath the bloody earth in 2022, MALIGNANTAURA gathered widespread accolade for their debut full-length, titled “Abysmal Misfortune is Draped Upon Me”. Their sorrowful melodies and crushing riffs forged brutally authentic live shows that captivated audiences across Australia alongside genre stalwarts like Esoteric and Mournful Congregation. Now, the band lurches forward, preparing to unearth their second album, a full-length descent into the depths of human despair and a harrowing blend of Death and Doom: vicious, sombre and triumphant. MALIGNANT AURA’s brand of tortured and lumbering death/doom metal bridges modern and classic sounds, drawing inspiration from Incantation, Paradise Lost, Virgin Black, Hooded Menace, Mournful Congregation, Candlemass, Disembowelment, Pallbearer, Katatonia, Asphyx and My Dying Bride.” - Raúl Sampedro Tracklist: 1. Where All of Worth Comes to Wither 2. The Pathetic Festival 3. Languishing in the Perpetual Mire 4. Beneath a Crown of Anguish 5.

🔥 @rodenticidebdm - “Visions Of Gore” OUT NOW on @primitive_moth & @grindheadrecords !🔥 💥CD & digital available now via - link in bio /album/visions-of-gore RODENTICIDE’s debut EP, “Visions Of Gore”, does not knock. It caves the door in and bludgeons everything behind it like a nail-studded baseball bat to the cranium. Across five tracks of precision-engineered carnage, the Canberra unit delivers a grotesque masterclass in brutal death metal that feels both corpse-fed and clinically sharpened. Drawing from the slam-soaked lineage of Suffocation and Pyrexia, the surgical technicality of Malignancy, and the unflinching gore worship of Cannibal Corpse and Fulci, this is an extermination-level release that refuses to let up. From the retinal rupture of Intravitreal Infestation through the bile-choked lurch of Strings Of Bile, the flesh-peeling stomp of Skin Tag, the blunt force trauma of Deformed And Mutilated, to the final dismemberment sequence Sawed Into Chunks, every moment is locked in with suffocating intent. Blast drums detonate like controlled demolitions, riffs twist and snap with surgical malice, and the vocals cycle through guttural bellows, piercing shrieks and subhuman pig squeals like a body being processed in real time. What sets “Visions Of Gore” apart is not just its sheer savagery, but the calculated execution behind it. These tracks have been meticulously constructed with each slam, break and tempo shift placed with anatomical precision, showcasing a band operating well beyond debut status. RODENTICIDE do not just pay tribute to the East Coast US brutal death blueprint. They dissect it, reassemble it, and inject it with their own virulent strain. The result is a release that feels immediate and feral, yet honed to a razor edge. This is not just another gore-soaked EP, it is the sound of an infestation taking hold, spreading fast, and leaving nothing but butchered remains in its wake. #death #deathmetal #brutaldeathmetal #rodenticide #grindheadrecords
