More info and order: http://lnk.spkr.media/sodomisery-mazzaroth
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!

SEELENJÄGER
Seelenjäger
Has come for your soul
Seelenjäger
To drag you down that hole
Morbid fascination
Of the ways of the occult
Set you on your path
Towards utter doom
Sleepless nights wondering
Of the ways of the undead
Where they might reside
After they died
repeat refrain
Has come for your soul
To drag you down that hole
Into the unknown
You fiercely cast your yourself
Just not understanding
What you will unleash
Now at night
Nightmares haunt your sleep
And still at day
Morbid feelings stay
A payment is due
The dead have
Reached out for you
Fingers like sharpened bone
Grasping and clutching
repeat refrain

Welcome to the world of BONGINATOR, where musical brutality meets bizarre sci-fi topics!
BONGINATOR are part of a new wave of young death metal aficionados that embrace the old school values of the style but add a fresh approach. This might cause a heart attack with those who think that the genre became too open-minded after 1986, but BONGINATOR are best described as the missing link between the good old days and death metal here and now. Metal and weed are an already established combination that has already found outlet in such well-established acts as Cannabis Corpse and Weedeater. BONGINATOR were not founded as challengers to such incumbents, but frontman Erik Thorstenn started with a strong vision to carve out his own musical claim when he founded the band in the New England state of Massachusetts during the year 2022. Taking inspiration from classic 80s horror and action movies is a given in this scene, but BONGINATOR blend old school death metal, crazy caveman riffs and the lunacy of 90s Colombian drumming with the relentless brutality of Slayer and even 80s synth-wave elements. Although BONGINATOR are obviously nodding to the past, the are definitely looking towards the future, hence their infamous claim „two-stepping neon weed death“.

A sun rises in the North
Across the Baltic Shores
And so a Swedish King henceforth
leads the further wars
On God’s command he came
Gustav the Second
Adolf by his name
To turn the tide
In favor of the
Protestantic side
To free their lands
From catholic plague
A coup de main
For God’s good sake
For God’s good sake
Sacred and divine
A lion moves the sun
To its zenith shine
Upon a world undone
A sun settles in the south
Behind a wrecked land
A lion died and leaves the world
A pillaged continent
Sacred and devine
A lion moves the sun
To its zenith shine
Upon a world undone
In the name of the spirit,
The father, the son.
A light on the horizon
A firmament aflame
A blaze from burning Cities
From the darkest night
He came

Singer Michael Torka says: “To those eternal creatures of Heaven, we are nothing but unworthy beings of clay. Embodiments of weakness. And its exactly this all-consuming contempt that Metatron, Regent of the Kingdom of Heaven, expresses in ‘Reign Supreme’, his crushing vision of absolute power - a track that once again introduces musical elements we havent used in this way before, especially in its rhythms and its chorus, which cast a glance across the channel to England. May we crawl in the dust and whisper His name in fear!”

Dethroned
Choked by deceit beneath the ivory tower
Poisonous words proliferate from chambers of rot
Truth disguised as the enemy
Each law enforced - a life betrayed
Temples burn and banners fall
The last command - destroy it all
Those who lead the blind - You will be dethroned
Those who take our lives - You will be dethroned
Destroy ‘em all!
Temples burn and banners fall
The last command - destroy it all
Those who lead the blind - You will be dethroned
Those who take our lives - You will be dethroned
Storm the gates with flame and shattered bone
No mercy left, no gods to save your soul
Ashes fall where tyrants reigned
No more masters, no more names
Those who lead the blind - You will be dethroned
Those who take our lives - You will be dethroned

Cosmocrator
I ascend
From the top of the pantheon
Curving the wombs
For the venom to spawn
Through shadows deep, their presence looms,
Silent whispers, in ancient tombs.
Earthly beings
Molded from clay
Your heresy
Soon to decay
Bound by darkness, the pact is complete,
In darkness embrace, my foes seek defeat
Protector of the waters, guiding souls’ home.
In the depths of night, Crator’s might shall roam
Faceless Deities
Ageless demons
Deathful mortals
In league with my Legions
Timeless fiends
Mortal Reapers
Ashes to dust
Obeys my command
I am Cosmocrator
None shall defy
I am Dominator
None shall deny
