Today we announce our sixth release of the year with “Mortuary Cult”, the first Full-Length album from Goetia! Goetia was formed in Washington, DC in the Autumn of 2022 by Bassist / Vocalist, Matt Scott, Guitarist, Demir Soyer, and Drummer, Nadia Tydings-Lynch. Soyer and Scott previously played together in the DC Death Metal band, Perpetuated, with Tydings-Lynch filling in on Drums for their last show. Embracing the chemistry of this lineup led to the founding of Goetia immediately following the gig. Goetia self-released their first EP in May of 2023. This was followed by a re-release on Persistent Vision Records and regular touring throughout that year. Their Self-Titled EP was followed up by their second, “Tomb Essence”, in 2024, released by Heavy & Fast Records, and finally a third 7” EP, “Otherwordly Agency”, in 2025 on Voice of the Cielago (run by Scott). Their first Full-Length album, “Mortuary Cult”, was Written and Recorded during these years amidst tours alongside Vastum, Altars, Healing Magic, and others. While their first three releases loosely center around occult themes, their debut Full-Length is more conceptually driven, featuring ten tracks inspired by experiences in an old cemetery in the suburbs of Washington, DC. With “Mortuary Cult”, Goetia strives to retain the same energy and sound they’re known for, ensuring fast-paced Death Metal with an abundance of chaotically frantic guitar solos and a plethora of blast beats. “Mortuary Cult” was Recorded by Matt Michel (Antichrist Siege Machine, Blood Monolith) at Viva Studio and Mixed by Will Killingsworth (Full of Hell, Miasmatic Necrosis, Tomb Mold) at Dead Air Studios. Cover Artwork by Chris Taylor (Pig Destroyer, pageninetynine, Darkest Hour) Goetia’s new album is available for Pre-Order over at our Merchtable Webstore! Follow the Links in our Bio to purchase. Stream the Music Video for ‘Mortuary Cult’ on the Carbonized YouTube Channel. Don’t miss Goetia on their upcoming “Sepulchral Dread Tour”, which will be happening next month across the North American East Coast. “Mortuary Cult” releases June 12th, 2026.

One of a few from @charmcitytattooinvitational this past weekend in Baltimore, done out of my flash book. I’m back home now at @curio.appointmentonly and have some spaces open this weekend for tattooing. DM or email if you’d like to get in. Thank you!

…My lady of the various sorrows. Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen. Some kept safe for tomorrow… Max’s back all healed and settled. I’m always interested in talking to you about larger work. Just reach out however you like. Thanks to Max, who has been getting tattooed by me regularly since I got here in 2017.

We did the last session on Emily’s dragon today. Based on a painting I did a while back, just as another recently finished back-piece was. We leaned a bit more American traditional with this one, hopefully paying some homage to Dietzel, who is a major influence on my work. I enjoyed working on this quite a bit, and am ready to do YOUR back. Reach out however you like, if you like, and we can make a time for you come talk about it in person. Thanks @erae.tattoo .

A drowsy one from my book. I’ve got availability from now through the bitter end. If you’re interested, I’m easy to find. 📩- [email protected].

An angel of light for Zach, done this past weekend at @reddeviltattoochicago . For your own, email [email protected].

A color study for the classic Battle Royale design I’m doing on my friend Erik’s back. To talk about your own back-piece, or other larger work, email [email protected], and we’ll make some time to speak in person.

Thanks Elsie. I am booking always for @curio.appointmentonly in Richmond, Virginia. Email [email protected] to get yourself sorted.

We wrapped up the initial design for Zach’s back today. Based (loosely) on a back concept I painted last year. I believe we got this done is 5 sessions of 2.5 hours each, starting in May of last year. I have ideas for things to add that hopefully he’ll let me get to after it’s not so fresh. Thanks, Zach. I also have ideas for what to do on YOUR back. If you’re interested in having larger work done, reach out and we’ll make some time to talk in person. 📩- [email protected]

Thanks, Angus. The convergence of your dreams and mine is located at @curio.appointmentonly . Reach out to find out.
