Sarpanitum is streaming Blessed Be My Brothers in its entirety here, out February 17, 2015 via Willowtip Records, here.

Captured at Dreaming Studios UK by drummer Leon Macey (Contrarian, Mithras, The Senseless et al) and centered on the abysmal consequence of religious warfare, the latest offering from the atmospheric blackened death metal collective is corrosive in its delivery spewing forth a delectably diseased fusion of traditional death metal, blackened riff assaults, twisted atmospheres and an alluring brand of controlled chaos that can only come from the technical prowess of its creators.

Named in part after Babylonian mother goddess, Sarpanit, meaning “the shining one,” companion of the chief god, Marduk, SARPANITUM – who feature within their rants current and former affiliates of Mithras, Lantlos and Tenebrous Aeon – has maintained a maniacal DIY ethos, crumbling stages throughout Europe supporting the likes of Insision, Visceral Bleeding, Desecration, The Monolith Death Cult and Macabre since their formation in 2003. Based on Babolyanian folklore, the band’s Galactic Records-released debut full-length, Despoilment Of Origin (2007) was an eloquently guttural performance of mythological blackened death metal that reaped the praise of underground listeners and media outlets in the proverbial “know.” The band’s Fidelium EP, independently-released four years later, reaffirmed their inexorable brutality both sonically and conceptually.
