Molder announce new album ‘Engrossed In Decay’

MOLDER have announced a new album!

Titled Engrossed In Decay, the upcoming album from the Chicago, Illinois-based death metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Vanished Cadavers, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Prosthetic Records.

Conceptually, the upcoming album collects the sonic aesthetics of the in-song samples, death-obsessed lyrics, and colourful mucus and blood themes into a cohesively gross package. The band took Engrossed In Decay to Studio Novy, where they hooked up with Cheyenne Brandt (Vanished Cadavers, and Chicago Metal Hell Vol 2) again to engineer and mix. CIANIDE’s Scott Carroll joined the sessions as steward, ensuring that the death metal performed by MOLDER and captured by Brandt sounded absolutely abhorrent and fetidly fresh. The final mix went to Philadelphia-based mastering ace Arthur Rizk [CREEPERING DEATH, TEMPLE OF VOID].

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; the title track Engrossed In Decay. The new song was first premiered via Invisible Oranges.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Aaren Pantke says, “we’re absolutely stoked to finally release our first offering via Prosthetic Records. That said, we felt Engrossed In Decay was just as appropriate of a song, if any, to showcase first. We chose Engrossed In Decay as the title track of the new record as it totally encompasses our sound, past and present. It has all the elements of MOLDER; doom, death, thrash, and punk. Clocking in at just above four minutes, this ripper is chock full of death-obsessed lyrical content, bass breaks, pounding drums, and nasty riffs… what more could ya ask for?”
