Lyric video and video artwork by Sarrowarseam
We are living in troubled times and it is hardly surprising that this is reflected in any form of art including music. On Mazzaroth, SODOMISERY have spun a dark lyrical yarn about mental illness in society, religion, and the struggle of the individual, which is running like a red thread through their sophomore full-length. The Swedish melodic death four-piece are underlining their loosely conceptual approach with a remarkable musical evolution.
SODOMISERY are expanding their original sound that combines the power and precision of death metal with the frenzied and cold aggression of black metal, and they have now added a layer of dramatic depth by including keyboards. It is hardly surprising that the Swedes, who are counting DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH, and CHILDREN OF BODOM among their major sources of influence, came to steer towards such a course.
The band from Stockholm did not take this decision lightly. When all the new tracks were written and pre-produced, SODOMISERY decided to create two versions of the album. One mix included keyboards and orchestration, while the other version had no such additions. After an extensive period of deliberation and many listening sessions, the Swedes decided that the new dimension and cinematic feeling added by the keyboards was exactly what their songs needed.
The speed with which SODOMISERY expand and mature their sonic nature is breathtaking, particularly since the band was born out of a studio project originally envisioned by Stockholm based guitarist Harris Sopovic in 2015, who enlisted the help of NETHERBIRD frontman Johan Fridell, bass player Niklas Sandin (KATATONIA, LIK) and drummer Pär Johansson, who is best known for his work with CRAFT and DIABOLICAL This resulted in the eponymous 3-track EP Sodomisery”, which was digitally released in 2017.
When the EP was heaped with massive praise, Sopovic recruited new members and decided to continue the band under the name SODOMISERY. Their debut album The Great Demise (2020) can be viewed as a deliberate statement of intent, not to blindly follow in the giant but also somewhat worn out footprints of the legendary Stockholm death metal scene. Instead, these Swedish newcomers favoured a more melodic and versatile approach.
In the short time period from their inception to the forthcoming second album, SODOMISERY have progressed by leaps and bounds and Mazzaroth is the audible proof of this bold statement!

In my view, there’s always ‘that one song’ on each of our albums that feels a bit out of place at first glance. On ‘Landkrieg’ that’s ‘Til Jeret Undergang’. A song about Denmarks involvement in the Thirty Years’ War, which began as a collection of loosely connected riffs and ideas, but developed into a catchy, atmospheric track with a compelling, driving energy - I’m proud we made it work and I cant wait to try it live! ‘Til Jeret Undergang’, Danish for “to your downfall,” delivers exactly that in its last part. Felix Marbach (g.)/Scalpture
Til Jeret Undergang
A war that could have ended
Proceeds to another war
From the heartlands of the realm
To the northern shore
Christian‘s on the rise
A Union sings along
Fremad Danmark!
Til jeret Undergang!
A Danish king’s engaging
The leaders of the League
A war is raging
In Lower Saxony
Wird ein Soldat geboren
Sind ihm drei Bauern auserkoren
Der Erste, der ihn wohl ernährt
Der Zweite, ihm ein Weib beschert
Der Dritte, der für ihn zur Hölle fährt.
Christian‘s on the rise
A Union drowns along
Fremad Danmark!
Til jeret Undergang!
Cannot the conflict end now?
With a Protestant defeat
A Catholic victory
And the Danish king’s retreat
With a realm in ruins
In debts, in misery?
Yet this game became
A winning industry
Thus, conflict must proceed
And proceed

Dread Emperor
Older than time
From the dawn of oblivion
Cloaked in decay
In his name the world shall fall
Dread Emperor
Dread Emperor
In the forest of doom
He feeds on the screams of their demise
Planting his seed
Deep inside their feeble souls
Dread Emperor
Dread Emperor
Through fear and terror, he ascends
He rules the world in endless gloom
Crowned in abjection and despair
A horrid truth left to endure
A kingdom built on endless woe
The light of hope is swallowed whole
Shadows twist beneath his throne
Slaves that serve his silent will
Praise his name
Embrace your fate
Submit to the
Dread Emperor
Dread Emperor
