Witch Vomit’s two previous releases, ‘Abhorrent Rapture’ and ‘Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave’, solidified and elevated their position as one of current US Death Metal’s most potent and direct sources of expertly crafted cacophonous carnage. With a methodically relentless fervor and merciless aggression Witch Vomit have carved out a formidable reputation for barbarism with hooks so catchy they rend flesh from bone.

On new album ‘Funeral Sanctum’, Witch Vomit expand the dark melodicism buried within the butchery of past releases, now sharpened into black obsidian and causticly fused with the band’s hallmark brutality. The DNA within tracks such as ‘Blood of Abomination’ and ‘Dominion of a Darkened Realm’ invoke not the upbeat harmonies one hears in typical melodic Death Metal, but something more akin to the demonic evil might of early Dissection, gleaming in frozen darkness. The gore-soaked USDM ferocity remains the rotted core of Witch Vomit’s foundation.

Witch Vomit’s dominant stretch of dynamic evolution within the scope of their concentrated stylistic framework has reached a new pinnacle with ‘Funeral Sanctum’. The album’s intense focus and ceaseless riff storm unleashes a wave of bloodfreezing gratification carved with permanence into the blackest depths.

it’ll be top 10 for sure.

Why do people say things like this? You've heard 2 minutes of music and you're already confident the entire album is going to be one of the best things of the year out of literally thousands of albums released over the next 10 months?

Yeah... declaring anything top 10 or AOTY in the first quarter of the year is..... naive at best, lol. Seriously people are way too overboard with that shit.

I like it, it reminds me a little bit of Edge of Sanity.

Am I crazy for thinking it's not THAT different from their early stuff?

Yeah this is only like 10% more melodic. I feel like people are reallllly overplaying the sound change because of the whole "blue artwork" thing.
