Deadbody share ‘Horrors Of The Reformed’ – Tribal Gaze share ‘Let His Servants Starve’. New Split LP due out 11/15 via Closed Casket Activities and Maggot Stomp.

Deadbody and Tribal Gaze, two of the most pummeling bands in modern death metal, are geering up for a new split LP, due out November 15th via Closed Casket Activities and Maggot Stomp. Each band has offered another early taste of their side of the split: Deadbody with ‘Horrors Of The Reformed’ and Tribal Gaze with ‘Let His Servants Starve’. First song is a minute and fifty seconds of dementedly technical riffs with a ten ton breakdown, while second song stretches out to nearly four minutes of lightning fast riffs and primal heaviness.

The split LP follows Deadbody‘s debut full-length, ‘The Requiem’, and Tribal Gaze‘s sophomore album, ‘The Nine Choirs’, both released in 2022. Split releases often offer a chance for bands to step outside their comfort zones and both groups took that opportunity. Deadbody tapped into outside the box influences like King Crimson and Voivod to provide five songs of mind-bending technicality that never skimps on pure heaviness, while Tribal Gaze add a previously unheard groove to the crushing aggression of their three-song contribution. The result is a snapshot of Deadbody and Tribal Gaze at the top of their respective games.

Deadbody’s Taylor Young discussed the split saying: “It’s an honor to share a record with one of my actual favorite current bands. Two sides and flavors of savage riffs and manic drumming that I’m excited for everyone to hear.” Quintin Stauts of Tribal Gaze added: “We believe this split will find a special place in the hearts of people who like evil shit to headbang to and masterfully chaotic ass beaters. It only made sense for Tribal Gaze to come together with Deadbody to bring that kind of force.”
