The Hungarian band MUTILATION CASE has released its self-titled debut album, a unique exploration in the realm of „dadaistic death metal.“ The album, which was released on November 3, 2023, is a joint venture by METAL ÖR DIE RECORDS (Hungary), MYTHRONE RECORDS, and DEFENSE RECORDS (Poland), with 500 copies available on CD.
MUTILATION CASE’s concept revolves around the serial killers of the 20th century in Hungarian criminal history. Their musical style, termed „dadaistic death metal,“ combines Scandinavian/Swedish distorted guitars using HM-2 distortion pedals with an array of unconventional instruments and sounds, including the saxophone, creating a unique sonic experience.
In addition to the standard CD release, METAL ÖR DIE RECORDS has also issued a special ultra-limited CD-box, limited to just 50 copies. This collector’s edition includes a printed patch, a postcard, and a book titled „The Executioners of the Carpathian Basin,“ written in both English and Hungarian by a criminalist expert. The book delves into the stories behind the songs, providing a deeper understanding of the album’s thematic content.
The band’s video clip for the song „Erdő“ is available for viewing on YouTube, offering a glimpse into their distinctive approach to death metal: Mutilation Case – Erdő (OFFICIAL VIDEO) – YouTube
