AntropomorphiA announce new album ‘Merciless Savagery’
ANTROPOMORPHIA have announced a new album!
Titled Merciless Savagery, the upcoming album from the Dutch death metallers is scheduled to be released in April this year.
Further building on 2017’s Sermon Ov Wrath, Merciless Savagery lives up to its name, attacking with unrepentant ferocity and holding nothing back. Vocalist/guitarist Ferry Damen says, “Sermon Ov Wrath was our most raw and honest statement and an album where we transcended certain genre limitations, capturing the essence of ANTROPOMORPHIA, and I would say the new record’s atmosphere is darker, heavier and more punishing, but still has hooky riffs and grooves. I think it’s the logical step forward. It’s a different chapter, even more diverse while being very cohesive, but you can immediately hear it’s ANTROPOMORPHIA.”
Prior to Sermon Ov Wrath, Damen never felt that the band’s music called for female vocals, but this time around, he had the specific intention to bring in someone to add this extra dimension: the track Luciferian Tempest features a guest appearance from Farida Lemouchi (THE DEVIL’S BLOOD, MOLASSES), bringing a different feel to the song. “I think our fans know what to expect from us, they know our sound and know that we are not that generic extreme metal band,” Damen explains. “We paint with a dark pallet, but we paint with lots of shades of darkness.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have launched the title track from the upcoming record.
