A few days, Death Metal barbarians PERDITION TEMPLE revealed the new video “Agony Unto Revelation.” The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated fifth full-length, “Malign Apotheosis”, released last month via Hells Headbangers.
By now, PERDITION TEMPLE require no introduction: the power-trio’s esteemed lineup credentials speak for themselves, and more so do they within the realm of this militant death metal whirlwind. “Malign Apotheosis” is the band’s first album of all-new material since 2020’s classic “Sacraments of Descension”, and they waste no time laying waste to the listener. Savage, feral, but fully locked-in as a unit, PERDITION TEMPLE‘s cyclonic sound is immediately recognizable as theirs, and theirs alone: bilious, blackened, and bursting at the seams with chaotic, carnivorous intent. Still, despite the flurry of soul-slaying death metal at hand, “Malign Apotheosis” manages to be incredibly memorable in its songwriting; riff, solo, and breakdown form a searing symbiosis that’s pure evil to the very end. Of especial note is the album’s recording – sooty, rustic, and actually more “old”-sounding than PERDITION TEMPLE‘s two albums over a decade ago – that, when stacked against some of the newer twists of texture here, make “Malign Apotheosis” a triumph of both consolidation and reinvigoration. These barbarian warlords excel at “Fell Sorcery” indeed!
