Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Italian extreme metal veterans unleash an overwhelmingly brutal, terrifyingly fast sixth studio album deeply focused on violently anti-religious lyrical themes. 'Regicide' is dominated by impossibly rapid, highly precise blast beats, intricate, down-tuned guitar sweeps, and profoundly aggressive vocal roars. It stands as a fiercely passionate, incredibly heavy, and remarkably technical masterclass in modern brutal death metal.
