Greek brutal death metal outfit Embryectomy have announced their third full-length album, Vitriolic Baptism, set for release on October 23 via Unique Leader Records (pre-order).
The nine-track effort marks the band’s debut release for Unique Leader and follows their 2020 album, Flamethrower Ecdysis. Alongside the announcement, Embryectomy have unleashed the album’s first single, “Ecumenical Lobotomy,” accompanied by a new video directed by Dave Curtis.
The band comments:
We are extremely proud to announce that Embryectomy is joining forces with Unique Leader Records. Unique Leader has provided us with a top-tier platform, that combines quality with musical malady, upon which we managed to spawn what can possibly be our heaviest release to date. We have christened (pun intended) this release ‘Vitriolic Baptism.’
Once again, Embry Kyle has risen from his ancient slumber to terrorize everyone in his path. Without further ado, we are ecstatic to present a live clip video of ‘Ecumenical Lobotomy’! This song integrates ‘SLAM police’ riffology with mind-shattering beatdowns and an unpredictable surprise from the old days in its end.
Shout out goes to Ergosphere Studios, Matt Davies, 357 Homicide and the mighty Epicardiectomy.
Stay tuned for more extreme music and unparalleled lyrical violence!
Vitriolic Baptism has been six years in the making and features nine tracks of the band’s signature slamming death metal and beatdown-heavy sound. The record also includes a guest appearance from Tom of Epicardiectomy on “Newborn Martyrdom.”
Formed in Athens, Greece in 2013, Embryectomy previously released Gluttonous Mastication of Embryonic Remnants in 2016 and Flamethrower Ecdysis in 2020, along with a series of demos, singles and splits.
