With the release of their new album on the horizon, CASTRATOR has launched a stream of “Fragments Of Defiance,” the second single off of “Coronation Of The Grotesque”.
Three years after their crushing debut “Defiled In Oblivion”, CASTRATOR returns with “Coronation Of The Grotesque”, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but leaves them shattered in its wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American Death Metal elite.
Lyrically, “Coronation Of The Grotesque” explores a range of historical and societal themes that reflect on injustice, victimization, and human suffering. Among the topics confronted are the tragic killing of Mahsa Amini, the ancient Sumerian practice of eunuchization, and seething condemnation of predator Naasón Joaquín García. Badini’s exceptional vocals elevate the lyrics, delivering a powerful and precise expression of the album’s themes.
