DESCENT Announce New Album Order of Chaos; Premiere First Single "Resolve" via CVLT Nation
Australian death metal quintet DESCENT, featuring members of Resin Tomb, Snorlax, etc., have announced their sophomore album Order of Chaos, out January 14, 2022, via Brilliant Emperor Records.
A tremendous stride forward for DESCENT, and by far their most accomplished work to date, Order of Chaos is a squelching war chest of punishing death metal grindery from the heart of Brisbane, Australia. Recorded by guitarist Brendan Auld, mixed by tone wizard Kurt Ballou, and mastered by the illustrious Brad Boatright, the album's eight tracks are a full-spectrum bedlam of the highest order, just as the glorious Mitchell Nolte artwork breathtakingly hints.
Riffs of inescapable maliciousness fuelled by the great traditions of chainsaw artistry reveal gateway altars pounding a primordial blackened fury. Screams sardonically tear at the void, burying your ears in the realization of the severity of your loss of self in eternal torment.
Welcome to the ritual of Order of Chaos. Submit, worship, dissolve and disintegrate.
To hear the cesspool of an album you’ll be in for, you can listen to the disgusting new track “Resolve” via CVLT Nation HERE.

About DECENT:
Formed in 2014 with the desire to create a sound influenced by a plethora of sounds falling under the umbrella of extreme and heavy music, DESCENT is a coalition of members from various bands from the underground Brisbane scene, including From These Wounds, Resin Tomb, Feculent, Snorlax, and several others. Since the release of the quintet's first demo in 2015, DESCENT has constantly performed throughout Australia, opening for bands like Cattle Decapitation, Dark Funeral, Code Orange, among many others. The band released its debut album, Towers of Grandiosity, via Redefining Darkness Records in 2018 and toured Japan with The Crown and Origin later that year.
Order of Chaos will be released January 14, 2022, on multiple formats via Brilliant Emperor (vinyl), Redefining Darkness (CDs) and Caligari Records (tapes).
