May 14, 2024, AUCKLAND – Ulcerate offer a final preview of their forthcoming album, Cutting the Throat of God (June 14, Debemur Morti Productions) with today’s release of “To See Death Just Once” and an accompanying video (https://youtu.be/UgpXvSzaqjo).
As has been the case with each of the three singles released from Cutting the Throat of God, the video was created by Dehn Sora. The band previously shared tracks “The Dawn Is Hollow,” which Revolver described as “titanically heavy… it’s the perfect balance of heavy and avant-garde,” and “To Flow Through Ashen Hearts,” a song Metal Injection dubbed “savage.”
Cutting the Throat of God was recorded in the fall of 2023, under the watchful eye of drummer Jamie Saint Merat, who also oversaw production and provided artist direction for the collection. Renowned mastering engineer Magnus Lindberg (known for his work with Cult of Luna, Russian Circles and Tribulation) put the finishing touches on the release. Cutting the Throat of God explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.
Album pre-orders including limited-edition vinyl variants are available now: https://bfan.link/cutting-the-throat-of-god. Cutting the Throat of God is also available on CD and digitally.
Ulcerate’s 2020 album, Stare Into Death And Be Still, landed on multiple year-end lists, with Stereogum saying, in their Top 10 Metal Albums of 2020, that the album possessed a “meditative calm that comes from the balance of blasting, screaming, and just enough melody to wash it down.” Brooklyn Vegan, also in their year-end, best of piece, added: “There’s no band quite like New Zealand’s Ulcerate… embracing melody through death metal with open arms, all while riding the line between mind-blowing instrumental prowess and pitch black ambiance.”
