After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020's lauded "Stare Into Death and Be Still", New Zealand unorthodox Death Metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album "Cutting the Throat of God".

An acknowledgement that the band's most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.

After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, "Cutting the Throat of God" is filled with peerless rhythms, the band's smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland.

"Cutting the Throat of God" explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.

Lyrics :
Forbidden to see the evident
In fires immersive
Demolish the myth of permanence

Imprisoned by inward revulsion
The dawn is hollow
Failing to distinguish between life and death

The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn

Deception interwoven in poisoned judgement

Transfixed by illumination
Last steps to withdrawal
The dust cannot settle as disorder persists

The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn

Toward a bitter end

Reckoning with the aftermath
Of a future left wanting
What once was whole
Now shattered into pieces

Lacerations are the sign to relinquish
Foreshadow immiseration
Toward a bitter end

Unceasing dereliction
Unrelenting decline
Desolation is the arc of life’s motion
