Die brasilianischen Brutal-Death-Metal-Veteranen Ophiolatry haben offiziell bei WormHoleDeath Records unterschrieben und die Veröffentlichung ihres mit Spannung erwarteten neuen Albums „Serpent's Verdict“ angekündigt, das am 6. Juni 2025 erscheinen soll. Die Band hat außerdem einen Teaser für das Album veröffentlicht, der den Fans einen ersten Einblick in das verspricht, was ein verheerendes Extreme-Metal-Album werden soll.
Checkt hier der Teaser:
Die Band kommentiert: “The album delves into themes of spiritual revenge, indigenous resistance, and the clash between ancient traditions and imposed beliefs. Inspired by real events in the Amazon, mythology, and existential suffering, the lyrics paint vivid scenes of war, punishment, and transcendence through pain. Each song tells a story, whether it be about warriors resurrected for revenge, the wrath of serpent gods, or the fall of oppressive ideologies. The words are raw, intense, and unrelenting, reflecting the chaotic brutality of the music itself.”
This signing marks a significant milestone for Ophiolatry, whose last full-length album “Transmutation” was released in 2008 through Forces of Satan Records/Regain Records. After a period of careful composition and development, the band returns with renewed purpose and vision, channeling the raw energy that established them as pioneers of South American extreme metal while evolving their distinctive sound. The album represents a departure from the relentless technicality of “Transmutation” while preserving the band's signature brutality and expanding their sonic palette.
The album functions as a sonic ritual—a brutal, immersive descent into cycles of destruction, revenge, and rebirth. Each track serves as a chapter in this narrative, combining aggressive riffs, guttural vocals, and tribal rhythms inspired by ancient warrior traditions. It is recommended for fans of Morbid Angel, Death, and Deicide.
