Swedish old-school death metallers, Grand Cadaver – made up of current and former members of Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Tiamat, Novarupta, and Katatonia – have announced a new EP. The Rot Beneath, will see the light of day on August 15 via Majestic Mountain Records. It will be available on vinyl, alongside a limited reissue of their 2021 debut full-length, Into the Maw of Death, with pre-orders coming soon. They have also just dropped the record’s first single, its title track, “The Rot Beneath.” Check it out below.

The band comments: “When you look at the state of the world today, it’s difficult not to feel despair. We see madness, death, war, corruption and polarisation. And it makes you think — what are we if not the cause of the problem? What are we but the rot beneath? This is the anthem to mankind’s demise.”

Featuring some of Sweden’s most seasoned metal musicians, namely Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect), Stefan Lagergren (ex-Treblinka/Tiamat), Alex Stjernfeldt (Novarupta, CHILD), Christian Jansson (Pagandom, Dark Tranquillity), and Daniel Liljekvist (ex-Katatonia, Disrupted), Grand Cadaver have carved a reputation for delivering death metal with no gimmicks, no polish, just raw power. From their debut EP Madness Comes (recorded in just three days and charting at #9 in Sweden), to their crushing LP Into the Maw of Death, and their doom-laced 2023 follow-up Deities of Deathlike Sleep, the band has continuously pushed their sound into darker and heavier territory.
