about

2025 Full Length Album by DETERIOROT. 12 new songs of Dark and Haunting Death Metal in the traditional way with ZERO contemporary influences. The best album to date and 10 out of 10 reviews by Chris Forbes of Metal Reviews. This album sounds like it could have been released in 1990. No Amp Sims were used in this album recording and traditional analog guitar tones were used. No Modern Technology used for the production. Old School all the way!
