Hailing from California, U.S., the esoteric techincal death metallers DECREPIT BIRTH are set to release their first new album in seven years, “Axis Mundi”, on July 21st via Agonia Records (Europe / ROW) and Nuclear Blast Records (North America). “Epigenic Triplicity” is the first single to be revealed from the record. Listen to the the track in the form of a 360 VR lyric video at this link:
With remarkable songs, an exceptional production, and high concept lyrics, DECREPIT BIRTH will re-shape death metal on “Axis Mundi”. They’re blasting the doors of convention wide open, paving the way for future generations to explore beyond death metal’s four proverbial corners. Much like the band’s influences from the early ‘90s, DECREPIT BIRTH have different optics on the genre and what has meant and continues to mean. Of course, Sotelo sees “Axis Mundi” from an entirely pragmatic viewpoint:
“I don’t know if we’re going to re-shape death metal” he counters. “We’re just a band. We’re doing this. We’re fans of the genre. We do our own thing with it. It’s our own paint job. What sounds cool to us. We don’t aspire to be the most technical band out there. The technicality isn’t our main goal. Technicality is part of what we are. When we were writing this album, we wanted the songs that had riffs that repeat. There’s more structure with our new stuff. We’re trying to write good music. We want to entertain people out there. Hopefully, everybody likes Axis Mundi”.
