Swedish death metal band Vomitory have fimed a music video for the track ‘Raped, Strangled, Sodomized, Dead’. Directed by Marcus Svensson, the clip can be viewed below.
Vomitory issue ninth full-length studio album All Heads Are Gonna Roll on May 26th, 2023 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
Vomitory’s reformation had been announced on April 2nd, 2018, with previous album Opus Mortis VIII having arrived seven years earlier in 2011. “We weren‘t feeling any pressure, it was rather about making a decision whether we should continue as a band, i.e. release new material, or simply put the band back in the grave again,” commented drummer Tobias Gustafsson. “We wrote a few songs first just for the fun of it, to see if we still ‘had it’, before we made the final decision to continue and make a new full-length album.”
All Heads Are Gonna Roll is best described as “fast, grinding, D-beat, fist-in-your-face death metal” and ‘features fresh aspects that are uncommon to Vomitory records’. “One thing in particular we did was to try to build distinct choruses in the songs, which is something we didn‘t put too much effort into earlier,” explains drummer Tobias Gustafsson. “We have also spent a lot more time working with the backing vocal arrangements, which we certainly think paid off very well. It brings something new to our sound. We have also tried to write more straightforward riffs, like we did in the early 2000s.”
Instruments for All Heads Are Gonna Roll were tracked in the band‘s rehearsal space, on a mobile studio setup engineered by Mats Lindström, and was self-produced. This allowed Vomitory to work at their own pace in the hours that worked for them, rather than having this dictated to them as would be the case if they had rented a studio. “Although we had a lot of flexibility to choose our working hours, it was still crucial to keep the recording schedule as strict as possible, because it was so easy to say ’let‘s do it tomorrow instead,‘” Vomitory said.
For vocals, Vomitory went to Leon Music Studios and engineer Rikard Löfgren, which was where the band recorded their last three albums. Friend Christian Fredriksson (Vulkan) plays some guitar solos.
