Originally formed in 2017 by members of Blasphemy, Antichrist, and Goatpenis, this band quickly made a name for itself within the most extreme fringes of the black/death metal underground. Tragically, the project was put on hold in 2024 following the deaths of Evandro Siebert and Fernando Barg, both key figures in Goatpenis and driving forces behind this collective.
Against all expectations, however, the band returns this year with a new album—a tribute and a continuation of what their fallen comrades helped to build. A significant portion of the material on this new record was still written by Evandro and Fernando, lending the release a particularly intense and emotional weight.
The album’s original working title was “Sulfurous Burns Upon Heaven”, a name that perfectly matched the infernal atmosphere and militant intensity of the music. In the end, the band and label settled on the final title: “Bestial Abominator”—shorter, more direct, and no less devastating in its message.
Musically, you’re getting exactly what you’d expect: unrelenting, uncompromising War Metal in the tradition of legends like Blasphemy, Antichrist, and Goatpenis—and rightfully so, because why tamper with a tried-and-true formula of total sonic annihilation? This band knows exactly where their strength lies: pure, all-consuming aggression with zero room for subtlety or restraint.
The album delivers a relentless 15 tracks, fired at you like a barrage of artillery. There’s no time to catch your breath, no space for the atmospheric indulgences that dominate much of today’s extreme metal landscape. No post-anything, no ambient interludes—this is war music, raw and undiluted.
Each track is a full-on assault on the senses: diabolical riffs buzz like chainsaws over merciless blastbeats, backed by drums that hit with the force of a machine gun in overdrive. The vocals are harsh, inhuman, and searing—like something shouted from the depths of a hellish bunker.
And yet, despite the album’s unrelenting pace and intensity, there’s enough subtle variation to keep things compelling. Brief tempo shifts, dark breaks, and sinister accents pull the listener deeper into the chaos. Bestial Abominator is not background music—it demands your full attention and leaves you scorched in its wake.
A statement. An offering. And above all: a tribute to a tradition of sonic warfare that’s far from dead.
