#BreakingNews : KAIVS Unleashes Debut Album "After The Flesh" – A Monument To Pure Death Metal Fury
Rome’s very own death metal titans, KAIVS, have erupted onto the global stage with their debut album After the Flesh, released on October 18th, 2024 via Brutal Records. This relentless offering delivers bone-crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and a sonic onslaught that pays homage to the early 1990s Stockholm scene, drawing influence from legends like Entombed, Nihilist, Dismember, and Carnage.
Led by the unholy trinity of Max Foam (vocals), Tiziano Mortician (guitar), Jacopo Simonelli (bass), and Leonardo Sastro (drums), KAIVS unleashes an unstoppable force of brutality. Their razor-sharp sound, recorded at Kika Studios and produced by Andrea Kikazaru, cuts through with the precision of a serrated blade. The album’s artwork, created by Spanish master Juanjo Castellano (known for his work with Revel In Flesh, Avulsed, and The Black Dahlia Murder), encapsulates the dark and chaotic energy KAIVS embodies.
The album features eight unrelenting tracks:
- Koshercannibal – 04:41
- Beyond the Autopsy – 06:19
- For Satan Your Flesh for God Your Soul – 03:31
- Blooduniverses – 03:23
- Krushing All Altars – 04:46
- Sepulchrist – 04:13
- Blasphemer After the Flesh – 05:29
- Horrend – 03:29
With their 2023 EP Horrend serving as a brutal prelude, KAIVS has now solidified their place in the extreme metal pantheon with After the Flesh. The band’s statement reflects their ambition: “We’ve inked a pact with Brutal Records, and it’s time to unleash hell on a global scale. Brace yourselves, for KAIVS is here to conquer.”
KAIVS is not merely reviving the echoes of old; they are carving a new path in the world of death metal, pushing boundaries and redefining brutality. Prepare to be overwhelmed as KAIVS leads the charge into a new era of darkness.
