CRUCIVORE – neues Video; Debütalbum im November 2026
Portuguese Death Metallers CRUCIVORE have unleashed the second single from their upcoming debut full-length album "Desecration", scheduled for November 13th 2026 via Testimony Records.
A music video for the track "Devourer of Existence" is available here: https://youtu.be/kFBla6_J73Y
Guitarist Ricardo Jorge states: "The track 'Devourer of Existence' is pure brutality from start to finish. This song is packed with crushing riffs, slam, massive breakdowns, and relentless blast beats that don't leave much room to breathe. Without a doubt, this is one of the most diverse and punishing tracks we've made so far and it will definitely shake your soul."
In the old harbour city of Lisbon, an undercurrent of darkness and morbidity hides beneath the sun-drenched gardens, beautifully tiled walls, and bustling streets of Portugal's proud capital. When the last revellers are gone in the early hours of morning just before dawn, something ancient rises from below.
It is this gnawing feeling that scratches at the edge of awareness of a sinister presence that haunts the tracks on CRUCIVORE's debut album "Desecration". Although these veterans of the Portuguese death metal scene are firmly building the foundations of their sound on the brutal and powerful principles of their genre, they take the style decisively into the present with their emphasis on cinematic elements and a fine sense of the dramatic and the epic.
Take a couple of die-hard death metal musicians from Portugal's capital, Lisbon, boasting massive talent and many years of experience under their belts. Combine that maturity with a burning desire and a clear vision to create uncompromising death metal songs that are infused with elements of brutal death and slam, and you get: CRUCIVORE.
CRUCIVORE were conceived on December 14th 2024. Precisely on that day, former ANALEPSY vocalist Ricardo Proença and guitarist Sérgio Páscoa (DOWNFALL OF MANKIND et al.) decided to join forces and form a new band. After recruiting more experienced musicians from Portugal, this new musical entity drew from decades of honing their craft to amalgamate crushing riffs, relentless drum pounding, devastating breakdowns, cavernous vocals, and carefully crafted dynamics into a contemporary sound that merges death metal intensity with the crushing weight of brutal death and slam.
CRUCIVORE opted for the classic lyrical themes of their genre, and their songs generally revolve around corruption, decay, blasphemy, mortality, and apocalyptic scenes, while also exploring the grotesque nature of existence through a lens of darkness and desecration.
Rather than relying on nostalgia or trends, CRUCIVORE seek to contribute to the ongoing evolution of death metal through conviction, experience, and an unwavering dedication to the underground. Instead of just delivering more of the same, the Portuguese seek for ways forward and they have found it in musical storytelling.
With "Desecration", CRUCIVORE deliver an outstanding debut full-length album and a musical vision that is bound to respectfully and diligently broaden the horizon of death metal.
