ANTROPOMORPHIA drop new video ‘Triumphant Death’

ANTROPOMORPHIA unleash new video single ‘Triumphant Death‘
taken from forthcoming album “Devoid of Light“

The Triumph of Death is a famous Renaissance painting by Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. ANTROPOMORPHIA deal with this motif in their own brutal way and now premiere the sinister video ‘Triumphant Death‘ as the final single lifted off their new full-length “Devoid of Light“. The sixth studio album of the Dutch death metal veterans has been marked for release on May 16, 2025.

ANTROPOMORPHIA comment: “The final track, ‘Triumphant Death’, is also our slowest on the new album”, frontman Ferry Damen writes. “It represents an echoing whisper that gets devoured by a flood of captivating darkness and sulfurous melodies. Its theme of misanthropic worship is a dark homage to the unquenchable thirst of death!”

ANTROPOMORPHIA are back! Six years after their acclaimed studio full-length “Merciless Savagery” (2019), the Dutch death dealers return with their most brutal and dark record so far that is aptly entitled “Devoid of Light”.

When ANTROPOMORPHIA created “Devoid of Light” over a period of two and a half years, the recording process was spread out through a much longer process due to a variety of reasons. During the whole time, the band never lost sight of their vision: to combine a wide variety of harsh musical textures including fanatical, white-eyed aggression, misanthropic and nihilistic lyrics, and dark emotions such as anger, despair, and pain among many others into dark and oppressive soundscapes.

ANTROPOMORPHIA were originally spawned from the foul stench of death in the Dutch city of Tilburg in 1990. At the time, they were pioneers, which soon turned them into a corner stone of the brutal music scene in the Netherlands. 

After releasing their first official demo “Bowel Mutilation” (1992) the band immediately captured a record deal and recorded the EP “Necromantic Love Songs” (1993) only a few months later, which became a cult classic.

Despite the occasional hiatus, ANTROPOMORPHIA continuously cemented their status as underground icons with a string of acclaimed releases. The debut full-length “Pure” (1998) was followed by the albums “Evangelivm Nekromantia” (2012), “Rites ov Perversion “(2014), “Sermon ov Wrath” (2017), and “Merciless Savagery” (2019).

Their uncompromising approach and ever expanding vortex of musical textures that included a growing influx of black metal elements into ANTROPOMORPHIA‘s musical and visual DNA, the Dutch have accepted invitations by the most relevant festivals and performed at Brutal Assault, In Flammen Open Air, Summer Breeze, Motocultor, Netherlands Deathfest, Roadburn Festival, and Eindhoven Metal Meeting among many more live events.

Now ANTROPOMORPHIA are returning with “Devoid of Light” to show the world that they are still hungry to push the limits of both their own band and the death metal scene to new frontiers. Crank the volume up to 10 and let this album rip!
