Today, Nuclear Winter Records announces November 11th
as the international release date for Encryptment's
highly anticipated debut album, Dödens födsel, on
CD and cassette tape formats.
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden's Encryptment formed
in 2015 with the intention of writing music in absence of borders between death
metal, black metal, and extreme styles of punk, all with lyrics written in
their native tongue. This intention has remained intact, yet the call from the
grave has only grown stronger…
Encryptment's debut EP, Suktar efter luft, was recorded and
released in burning creative urgency at the beginning of June 2015, only a few
months after the band's formation. Some lineup changes followed, and the band's
next release didn’t happen until 2019, when the Mangel från söderort demo was released.
From there on, the mania, poison, darkness, and ferocity of the imminent Dödens födsel has been brewing
steadily until it was realized in Necromorbus Studio together with the esteemed
Tore Stjerna. Indeed maniacal and poisonous, utterly and equally dark and
ferocious, Encryptment's first full-length
statement is a fiercely focused juggernaut of dread frequencies. That they take
so many shapes - some blackened, most deathened, all delivered with the
hackle-raising urgency of the best hardcore-punk - matters not when trying to
"define" Dödens födsel:
the art, the ART OF DARKNESS, above all commands possession of both players and
listener. With eight songs flying fast and free across a breathless 33 minutes,
Encryptment's debut album
offers deliverance to those who walk along those shadowed borders; the band's
vision and intent remain recognizable, but their attack here has been sharpened
to a startling degree. Of course, Stjerna's swarming production only makes
those depths of darkness seem more infinite...
Stand at the brink and peer into the abyss. There, you will find one of the
most devastating debuts of recent memory: Encryptment's Dödens födsel.
In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Dödens födsel" HERE
