BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS and ROTTED LIFE, is proud to present INSINERATEHYMN's highly anticipated second album, Disembodied, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
The CD and tape versions will be released on February 25th while the vinyl version will follow later in the year.
One of death metal's best-kept secrets, INSINERATEHYMN hail from Los Angeles and feature three ex-members of now-labelmates TRANSCENDENCE. The band formed in 2016 and two years later INSINERATEHYMN's debut album arrived, bearing the title A Moment in a Vision. An auspicious start, already evincing mastery of timeless death metal songcraft, A Moment in a Vision was but a signal of greater things to come for INSINERATEHYMN.
At last, that arrives with Disembodied, INSINERATEHYMN's second album. Clearer, cutting, and more crushing, Disembodied doesn't so much as dispense with the previous album's style as it simply sharpens it to a dangerous degree. Indeed, INSINERATEHYMN give a masterclass in '90s death metal, from the spiraling vortexes of early Tampa to the sewage to come from New York, on to eerie emanations from Europe and the dissonance at the dawn of the new millennium. Naturally, the band bend those classic tropes in a variety of ways, all of which bespeak their own identity: scuzzy, slicing, clanging, angular, brutal beatdown, ignorant stomp, or just straightforward killshot - no weapon is left aside. Simply, Disembodied is a death metal record for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs who understand and appreciate the rich-yet-codified history of the genre.
Graced with amazing cover artwork courtesy of Edgar Roldan and utterly throttling production, INSINERATEHYMN are prepared to ascend the throne with Disembodied!

Massive death(ier) / doom from NYC delivering six menacing tracks of utter destruction. With a sound steered toward malicious energy over morose exploration, Funeral Leech hits hard with pummeling drums, rumbling bass, gargantuan guitar, and monstrously deep vocals.
The execution is reminiscent of doomy Bolt Thrower, Solothus, or Temple of Void. Lorenzo
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
