Hells Headbangers announces November 28th as the international release date for Perdition Temple’s fifth full-length, Malign Apotheosis, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. In lieu of this announcement, the band reveal the new title track „Malign Apotheosis“: PERDITION TEMPLE „Malign Apotheosis“ (title track from LP 2025)
By now, Perdition Temple require no introduction: the power-trio’s esteemed lineup credentials speak for themselves, and more so do they within the realm of this militant death metal whirlwind. Malign Apotheosis is the band’s first album of all-new material since 2020’s classic Sacraments of Descension, and they waste no time laying waste to the listener. Savage, feral, but fully locked-in as a unit, Perdition Temple’s cyclonic sound is immediately recognizable as theirs, and theirs alone: bilious, blackened, and bursting at the seams with chaotic, carnivorous intent. Still, despite the flurry of soul-slaying death metal at hand, Malign Apotheosis manages to be incredibly memorable in its songwriting; riff, solo, and breakdown form a searing symbiosis that’s pure evil to the very end. Of especial note is the album’s recording – sooty, rustic, and actually more „old“-sounding than Perdition Temple’s two albums over a decade ago – that, when stacked against some of the newer twists of texture here, make Malign Apotheosis a triumph of both consolidation and reinvigoration. These barbarian warlords excel at „Fell Sorcery“ indeed!
