Altar of Brutality, by MORTUAL

Altar of Brutality

by MORTUAL

supported by

Bart Grimy old-school death metal along the vein of early Morbid Angel, but the occasional downshift in tempo starts lean to Incantation territory. It has that raw death metal edge with a bit of chaotic looseness that really sells it. The riffs are the star here, but the occasional shift to death-doom keeps it all honest. Gotta watch this band going forward. Favorite track: Dominion of Eternal Blasphemy.

The Mad Professor MORTUAL just casually drop one of the years best death metal albums with Altar of Brutality. Evil barbaric stuff from these Costa Rican fiends

*******************************************************

Rising from the oppressive crypts of Central America, MORTUAL is ready to deliver their most unrelenting statement of intent yet. Following a trilogy of celebrated EPs, the Costa Rican death metal cult will release their long-awaited debut full-length, "Altar of Brutality", on LP, CD and MC format on July 4th, 2025 through Nuclear Winter Records.

Spawned in the black rain and pestilent winds of San José, "Altar of Brutality" is a declaration of total spiritual negation: eight impure hymns steeped in decay, fanatic violence and the iconoclastic hunger to desecrate all that is sacred. Carrying forward the cursed legacy of their previous EP "Evil Incarnation", MORTUAL now reach deeper into the void, channeling a darker, more oppressive sound, dripping with heretical intent and sharpened through years of relentless underground devotion.

This is not a reinvention, but a declaration, a brutal affirmation of death metal’s primal force. With "Altar of Brutality", MORTUAL summon a vision of spiritual ruin and corporeal decay, wrapped in chains of riffs, blasts and unwavering intensity.

For fans of: Deicide, Mortem, Sadistic Intent, early Monstrosity

Man, this is some flat out foul death doom metal. Crushingly heavy and intimidating. The whole album oozes a thick and murky atmosphere that will leave you feeling hypoxic and catatonic. Do what you can to brace yourself against this torrent of sludge and slime. 8/10 RJ

Relentless, grinding, off-kilter, dissonant doom-death assault that is by turns fascinating and repulsive, and in the end deeply emotionally affecting. Dave Aftandilian
