LEPER COLONY – Track Premiere von "Seelenjäger"
LEPER COLONY have unleashed the next single from their third full-length album "Back To Primal Sludge, scheduled for October 9th 2026 via Testimony Records.
The track "Seelenjäger" is available here with a lyric video: https://youtu.be/fETO2_EbSRM
Shred-master Rogga Johansson states: "The filth lives in the lower tempos. The epic, dirty, and massively catchy 'Seelenjäger' takes you on your final journey, with crushing grooves envenomed by a vocal performance that leaves its mark."
LEPER COLONY hold firm and relentlessly soldier on in their unholy quest to create the perfect equilibrium between the Floridian and Stockholm styles of old school death metal on "Back to Primal Sludge".
This defines "Back to Primal Sludge" in many ways as a direct continuation of their sophomore album "Those of the Morbid" (2025). Yet, there are twists and tweaks in the details. While the previous release offered a handful of references to deadly German influences, these have been further reduced just as the second album had dropped the classic thrash elements from the self-titled LEPER COLONY debut (2023).
LEPER COLONY came into being as a physical expression of the long-year friendship between German vocalist Marc Grewe and Swedish guitarist Rogga Johansson. Both decided in 2020 that their mutual love for old school death metal should come together in the shape of an album.
Marc Grewe firmly established his name as the former frontman of MORGOTH, and later with INSIDIOUS DISEASE as well as ASINHELL. Guitarist and bass player Rogga Johansson has left a massive trace in Swedish death metal as a member of many successful acts including PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, and REVOLTING.
The core duo at first enlisted the aid of CONSUMPTION drummer Jon Skäre and lead-guitarist Kjetil Lyngahug (PAGANIZER) to record "Leper Colony". Later, they were permanently joined by British drummer Jon Rudin, who is known best from MONSTROUS and DEAD SUN, among several other death metal bands.
With "Back to Primal Sludge", LEPER COLONY deliver another work of old school death metal love that every fanatic of this brutal genre and follower of this band has been hoping for!
