Italian death metal band Antropofagus have released an official lyric video for the title track of their forthcoming album Origin<\/em>, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Antropofagus issue fourth full-length studio album Origin<\/em> on October 28th, 2022 through Agonia Records.<\/p>\n

Origin<\/em> was recorded, engineered and mixed at MK2 Recording Studio by Antropofagus drummer Davide Billia, and mastered at Hertz Studio by Wojtek Wieslawski.<\/p>\n

Origin<\/em> marks the debut of vocalist Paolo Chiti. Featured are guest appearances from Mick Montaguti (Electrocution), Matt Sotelo (Decrepit Birth) and Dallas Toler-Wade (Narcotic Wasteland, ex-Nile).<\/p>\n

Guitarist and co-founder Francesco Montesanti sees Origin<\/em> as the band\u2019s most complete album to date. \u201cI\u2019m really satisfied with the work in its entirety; from the structure of the album, to the production, which was curated by Davide Billia at MK2 studios. While the pandemic did cause physical limitations, it also allowed us the time to work at our own pace, and while arranging the tracks we reached a level far superior to anything we\u2019ve done before. I\u2019m really pleased that we managed to write this album with the four of us coming from different directions, but working together in a very united way. You can hear this in every track. Each of us played important roles during the production and post production phases and we put our heart and souls into it. The result is a very fast album that never loses momentum. The cover and all the artwork were created by Stefano Mattioni \u2018Viron 2.0\u2019. We\u2019ve gone back to working with computer graphics and we think this will be our best cover yet, reflecting a band which is modern but never compromises the foundations of true death metal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frontman Paolo Chiti added: \u201cI was inspired by many different sources for the lyrics on this album. From Lovecraft\u2019s omnipresent Necronomicon, through Sumerian demonology, Egyptian mythology and classic films such as The Exorcist<\/em> (1973) or Hellraiser<\/em> (1987) to those more modern like The Void<\/em> (2016), or the series Stranger Things<\/em> (2016-). Wherever I found some darkness I fed on that darkness for my lyrics and I\u2019m very pleased with the results. I really can\u2019t wait to share the new material with the world! I\u2019m particularly proud of my vocal performance. This is the first disc that I\u2019ve recorded with the band and I hope that my vocal style pleases old-school Antropofagus fans and perhaps even helps us get new ones. When Origin comes out I will be over the moon if people love it even half as much as I do!\u201d<\/p>\n
