Sadistic Embodiment Cast Their "Blood Spell"
Canada’s Sadistic Embodiment will be unleashing their new album “Blood Spell” tomorrow (Sept 18) via CDN Records. Prior to its official release, the band has teamed up with MetalInjection for the record's full stream premiere, which can be heard HERE.
Sadistic Embodiment's new full length “Blood Spell” follows the band’s three EPs Beloved Imprisonment (2019), Blodörn (2018), and Self-Titled (2018). Continuing their sonic onslaught, each of the nine songs on “Blood Spell” has a distinct feel given the variation in vocal and instrumental styles throughout the album. Each song stands out and yet they are all uniquely Sadistic Embodiment. This will please old school death metallers and the new school with a variety of punch-in-your-face hooks, melodic passages, and absolutely brutal anthemic choruses.
The band comments: “After spitting out three EPs this last couple of years, we were really stoked and kind of nervous settling into a longer writing and recording process for Blood Spell. As per usual, we cranked out the material during bi-monthly jams, but this time we really took our time crafting the music once the main structure of the songs was built. Our sound is still exactly the same, but the listeners may hear more broad musical influences across the nine tracks. There are tracks that sound distinctively Wally and Jason and certain tracks where you really hear Bryan shine as he shows off his technical prowess. A lot of our songs are longer than your average death metal track, and they are relatively simple in regards to guitar and lyrical work. But with longer playtime, we were able to fit in more ambiance and guitars solos into every nook and cranny.”
Blood Spell will be available as of September 18, 2020 on all major digital platforms along with being available on CD from CDN Records here. Some of the singles released thus far can also be found below:
