CRYPTIC BROOD – “Caustic Fetid Vomit” EP on 7″ vinyl is available for ordering now! Get your copy from our shop!

The brood is back from a year in morbid sleep with a new feral offering entitled “Caustic Fetid Vomit”. A return of such cemetery stench and obnoxious science as befits the purveyors of the vile sides of the Death Metal spectrum.

As always, CRYPTIC BROOD spewing forth a delight for seasoned and new listeners alike, with an organic sound perfectly encapsulating what makes this German trio never lose their greatest strength—attaining a suffocatingly heavy music filled with reeking, gloomy atmosphere from their sonic signature, a colossal sound of rawness and madness.

What’s certain is that time will melt away throughout eleven minutes of an endless putrid nightmare, rapidly expanding outward in every direction of the alternate dimensional horrific planes that these German fiends have been delivered.

In crafting the 7”, the brood’s funeral rite was recorded at s.v. Jugendhaus Ost in Wolfsburg. Mixed and mastered by the infamous Marco Brinkmann at Hellforge Studio. The twisted and yet sinister genius cover artwork appears courtesy of Mortuus Art.

And now, the cryptic seeds have been sown. Are you prepared to enter the Grave of the Brood?

Spawning from the global death-surge, “Night Raid” by MINENFELD will definitely leave you a memento mori impression on one of the heaviest slabs of ancient death metal. Delivering death metal in its most skull crushing quality and mid-paced madness that once you have learned from BOLT THROWER, this German war master quartet sounds like a tank rumbling across the corpse landscape. Every time their deadly beats pounding, the guitar onslaught and the drums blazing — it encapsulates the atrocities of battle.

Recorded at the Eastern Bunker, their attack in a mere 14 minutes is free floating chaos like an everflowing stream under the command of Henner Rekorder as the sound engineer and mastered by Role at Tonmeisterei which assists the band in finally churning out its distinctive signature sound. And the cover art contributed by Jan Buragay profoundly channeled MINENFELD’s energy to explore their darkest fantasy in a combat zone of unending cruelty and savage barbarism. May the war on nationalism never end!

Fitting for their name, MINENFELD (German for minefield), if you are ready to listen to a record that was written on bloodied fields and driven by war without end that soaring woefully. This utterly compelling masterpiece is for you:
