release notes:
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.
