The 5th studio album from death metal legends Convulse! Releasing Oct 30th 2020 on LP/CD/CS from Transcending Records.

RELEASE NOTES ORIGINALLY VIA EVERLASTING SPEW RECORDS:

BECERUS are back unleashing a new hail of cavernous grunts, a peculiar love letter to the 90"s Death Metal scene adorned with lava riffs and neanderthalian growls!
Burn your school diplomas and join the troglodytes!

Becerus is a fetid death metal creature of singer Mario (Balatonizer) and guitarist/bassist Giorgio (Assumption, Bottomless and more). Mysterious drummer and bone wielder Paul Bicipitus instantly joined the project to make some primitive noise in the common cave.
After their debut album "Homo Homini Brutus", the band is now back with the explicitly titled "Troglodytes".

The only aim of the band is playing the most vile and decerebrate form of music ever made while worshipping the gross and ungainly figure of the mighty Becer, a disgusting, hostile creature whose muscles, dirty hair and belly instantly scare every living thing crossing his path. Becerus is about brutal and mortal death metal so, if Broken Hope, Monstrosity, early Cannibal Corpse and Baphomet are your thing, then you'll be fine with these cavemen.

FUCK AI GIMME GRUNT!

NO PRE-ORDRERS. ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE PHYSICALLY ON 28 FEB 2025.

Three years after their debut offering, the festering cadaver of Vancouver’s Grave Infestation, has risen again —ghastlier and more ravenous than ever before. Unleashed through a profane alliance between Dark Descent Records and Invictus Productions, Carnage Gathers emerges as a monstrous abomination, tearing flesh and sinew from the twisted legacies of Autopsy, Grave, Nihilist, Repulsion, and Abhorrence. These severed limbs and organs are stitched together into a horrifying golem of their own blasphemous design.

“It’s a frantic death metal assault! Violent, and unrelenting. The fast parts are faster, the slow parts are slower and everything is just plain nastier. It's like we made an album that sounds like it came out even before our first album,” the band says.

A putrid production, steeped in decay and malevolence, is the lifeblood of death metal. What we have here might just be one of the most grotesquely brilliant productions of the year. “The album was recorded and mixed with engineer Greg Wilkinson at the infamous Earhammer Studios in Oakland, producing a vile record that is a sonic push forward,” states vocalist/guitarist Graham Christofferson. “We wanted the album dripping with disgustingness and bringing forward elements we love about sick, underground death metal. The great thing about working with Greg is he's entrenched in the music we love and play. He could see our vision, and helped us make it happen. He had death metal solutions for death metal problems, along with great old cabinets and amps. Even the studio itself gives off deathly ambience."

The record comes infested with macabre verses and cover artwork, the latter courtesy of the notorious Misanthropic Illustrations: “Each song references a story of someone’s strange relationship to death, real or fictitious,” reveals Christofferson. “The cover art is related to the track The Anthropophagus, it's about a 17th century French cannibal hermit. That's the cave he lived in. People called him the Anthropophagus, which means cannibal, but he was just basically starved to madness."

Grave Infestation will join forces with Quebecois death dealers Sedimentum in disgracing the rotting stages of Europe in March 2025.
