Centuries of sanctimonious deceit, drawing dark veils
around a worm-infested heart of corruption and abuse,
greed and licentiousness. With every year the infection
becomes more pronounced, the stinking pus and blackened
blood staining the once white vestments beyond any dream
of redemption. A tired masquerade that can barely find
the energy to conceal its wickedness anymore, or to
utter the words of benedictions whose meanings have long
since been forgotten. Truth is dead and lying in a mass
grave, uncovered but for a living shroud of flies and
entwined in the pale, broken arms of love, mercy,
dignity and heaven's bloated corpse.
When Ireland's Leadbelcher signed to Apocalyptic
Witchcraft for the release of their debut album, label
head Conor Droney described the band and their output as
follows... "Leadbelcher sound like Ireland's decay given
physical form, a suffocating collision of scum-soaked
death metal, grinding blasts, and d-beat filth. Heaven's
Bloated Corpse is violent, rotten, and completely
uncompromising." It's a neat, accurate summation of what
this group of Irish underground scene luminaries have
summoned up from their collective creative sewer. Formed
in 2024 and featuring members and ex-members of bands
such as Sermon Of Flames, Mortichnia and Coscradh,
Leadbelcher play their own form of rancid, nihilistic
music, self-defined as dissident death metal. Ancient
death, infused with grind, filth and d-beat disgust it
has no fucks left to give. It is the sound of a world
rotting from the inside out, a society drowning in its
own vile ordure. It is Heaven's Bloated Corpse...
Opening track 'Pisscorpse' is the sound of the malformed
Leadbelcher beast lumbering into life, opening its
bleary, bloodshot eyes to survey the horror spawned
during its hibernation...and then 'Narrowhouse'
unleashes the full vehemence and careless violence that
lurks beneath its cracked and peeling skin. Explosive,
rabid, grim and grotesque - drums like hammer blows into
soft flesh, vocals akin to a formless howl from the
void. Heaven's Bloated Corpse is an invocation, a
bellowed challenge, a primitive ritual of disorientating
sickness. From the chaos and carnage of 'Immured In Holy
Excrement' to first single, 'Severance Of Belief', a
nightmare of torture dragged through the wall of sleep
into the waking world, Leadbelcher's delivery of
seething sickness and unstoppable death marches is
relentless. The vocals are key to the dread ambience of
Heaven's Bloated Corpse - part drug-addled,
disease-ridden, psychotic tramp, part tentacled God of
perversion and madness - they ride the warped guitars
through tidal waves of darkness like a spirit of war. An
aptly abhorrent conclusion, 'Light Of Vile Elucidation'
is the last mutant creation to crawl from Leadbelcher's
cauldron. A shambling, twisted vision of horror it oozes
evil and deliberate, calculated malice; a final tsunami
of acidic hate to dissolve the filth of the world and
reduce everything to a morass of formless madness. This
is the sonic embodiment of anger, disgust and the belief
in nothing but the end.
Recorded and mixed by Josh Robinson at JSR Audio in
Belfast (From Ruins, Skullmaiden, Valley Of Despair etc)
and mastered by James Plotkin (Blasphemy, Khanate,
Leviathan etc), Heaven's Bloated Corpse possesses the
perfect sound to convey its absolute renunciation of
humanity - laced with fear and horror, touched with
criminal insanity and with the requisite power to grind
the wretched dregs of the species into the dirt. Adorned
in the corrupt and contorted artwork of Adam Medford
(Morgue Supplier, Cadaver etc).
