DEMONICAL Release Sixth Studio Album ‘World Domination’
October 23rd, 2020

Avesta, Sweden-based death metal band Demonical issued sixth full-length studio album World Domination on October 23rd, 2020 through Agonia Records.

The band commented: “So here we have it, World Domination; our sixth full-length album and the first one to feature new vocalist Christofer Sätderdal and new-old drummer Ronnie Bergerstål. World Domination continues the same path as our previous Chaos Manifesto slap, in other words, fierce HM-2 driven Swedish death metal, a ravage combination of brutality, melody and darkness. As always on every album, even this time we tried out some new traces and elements we haven’t explored before and have to say that we are stoked about the final outcome.

“When it comes to the production, this is clearly our most dynamic and vivid album so far. Not only did we use a different way of recording everything, we went also for a much more energetic and breathing sound closer to how albums were produced in the late 80s and early 90s. World Domination was recorded at a few different studios around Sweden, then mixed and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén – a victorious collaboration we started with on our previous album.”

The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.

World Domination was recorded in June 2020 at Glashuset and Sellnoise studios by Johan Hjelm and Jonas Arnberg, with production by Demonical. Mixing and mastering duties fell to Karl Daniel Lidén at his own Tri-Lamb Studios in Solna, Sweden.

The song ‘Slipping Apart’ features guest vocals from Nils Patrik Johansson (Astral Doors / Lion’s Share / ex-Cival War).
