Unearthly Rites - Tortural Symphony Of The Flesh (CD)

Fakta UNEARTHLY RITES delivers filthy, mold-ridden death metal deeply rooted in the muddy sewers of the Finnish DIY punk and hardcore scene. The band will release its second full-length album, Tortural Symphony of the Flesh, via Svart Records. Formed in 2020, Unearthly Rites has previously released an EP (s/t, 2021) and one full-length album (Ecdysis, 2024), which explored dystopian visions of colonialist greed and ecocide. The forthcoming second album expands and intensifies this thematic core; Tortural Symphony of the Flesh presents a total meltdown of nature, humanity, and machine, and of transgression, lust and power. Musically, the album advances the band’s crushing riffs and characteristically moldy grimness toward a more malicious and brutal soundscape. Unearthly Rites does not merely document the atrocities of capitalist society but explicitly calls for action in defense of nature and the rights of ethnic, gender and sexual minorities.
