[2025-03-20] REEKMIND (Australia) signed to Memento Mori!!! In our endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage Death Metal, we´re extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: REEKMIND, from Australia. No more than a calendar year in the making, REEKMIND was conjured up by Nick and Dane after deciding that there wasn´t enough bands (especially locally) that showcase music similar to what they were going for. So, after a few short months of conjuring up some tracks, the pair created the songs that´d be featured on their debut full-length. After bringing on Lem on bass and employing Brayden (Aglo, Ghostsmoker) to undertake drumming duties, Mired in the Reek of Grief was recorded in late 2024, mixed by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios (Esoteric, Cruciamentum, Grave Miasma...), mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studios (Cerebral Rot, Mortiferum, Excarnated Entity...) and picked up by Night Terror Records for release in March 2025 on LP and tape. REEKMIND display an unorthodox take on Death/Doom Metal with an underlying sludge element that shifts and cracks open the earth beneath to exhibit a melding of influences, such as Necros Christos, Crowbar, Mortiferum, Amenra, Adramelech and Disembowelment, exposing the listener to slow, lumbering passages of woven misery via crushing, sludge-infused riffs that march with ferocity and malice, as well as vocals that cut through the mix with grief-ridden lyrics that tell a tale of mental anguish and struggle. Taking many different angles to perform an extreme debut album that provides the listener with a variety of extreme components, REEKMIND is essential listening to further fall down the spiralling hole of sorrow. Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of Mired in the Reek of Grief on July 21st. 2025. Meanwhile, make sure to follow them on Instagram and listen to the album on their Bandcamp (links below).

We´re beyond stoked to announce the release of a CD that will compile the two demos of the old, obscure Finnish band CEREBRUM, as well as the three previously unreleased songs featured on the "Endless Tears of the Distant Sea" compilation tape (Old Skull Productions, 2017). CEREBRUM was spawned in Turku back in 1992 and is yet another largely unsung name from the early/mid 90´s Finnish Death Metal scene, perhaps for having been a bit late to the game, with their solid debut demo, Demo #1 (1993), being released in a time when many of their peers were already splitting up or moving on musically. Old school Death Metal was the name of the game, as the band proudly wore the influence of bands such as Death, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Carcass, Obituary and Xysma on their sleeve. The band took a more melancholic, melodic and ambitiously progressive direction on their second demo, Grief (1994), which displayed a band bursting with skill and vision, willing to expand their sonic range in a way not unlike what other bands such as Carbonized, Phlebotomized, Edge of Sanity, Opeth, Amorphis and Sentenced were doing at the time. However, lineup changes ensued and the band faded into obscurity shortly after. All the songs featured on this compilation of CEREBRUM´s body of work, titled Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993-1994), were subtly remastered by Tuomas Virtanen (the band´s current keyboardist) for an even more pleasurable listening experience, and the cover art was provided by the talented Finnish artist Toni Hietomaa. Memento Mori will unleash Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993-1994) on July 21st, 2025. Meanwhile, make sure to follow them on social media and listen to the demos and the bonus songs on their YouTube channel (links below).

In our endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage Death Metal, we´re extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: INVICTUS, from Japan. Conceived in Nagano City back in 2015, INVICTUS´ original goal was to play Death Metal with hints of technicality and a strong Thrash Metal edge, combining the morbid grooves and abhorrent atmospherics of all archaic Death Metal gods (Death, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Brutality, Mercyless, Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Obituary, early Decapitated, Sadistic Intent, early Cannibal Corpse...) and prioritizing the creation of songs crammed with commanding riffs over any other aspect of their putrescent music. While the target remains the same, the band is now exploring a broader spectrum of riff-oriented Death Metal in order to aggravate the carnage, exuding a more pernicious aural decay and bludgeoning the listener into submission by some of the meatiest and most vitriolic Death Metal conceivable. INVICTUS have a unique feel to their music that is enshrouded in the mystique of the past. Guttural guitars throw forth bolts of arcane malignancy while the drumming pulverises the corporeal body with percussive blows. Vocally, the band sit in their macabre low-register and ensure everything is tied together gloriously for your listening displeasure with a truly crushing production that´s as organically lethal as it can get. If you love Death Metal, true and morbid, then don´t miss out on these Japanese masters of putridity. Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their sophomore full-length in early 2026. Further details to follow in the coming months. Meanwhile, make sure to follow them on social media and listen to their previous output (links below).
