Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the release of “Ruthless”, the brand-new album from Icelandic death metal force DEVINE DEFILEMENT, set to drop on May 9th, 2025. With this latest offering, the band refines their sonic onslaught, embracing a more compact and percussive approach, crafting tracks where tension remains constant and unrelenting.
Since their eruption onto the Icelandic metal scene in 2016, DEVINE DEFILEMENT has honed their signature sound—a fusion of pummeling grooves, devastating slams, and sheer brutality—into an even more relentless force. “Ruthless” captures this evolution, delivering leaner, sharper compositions that pulse with controlled aggression and unwavering intensity.
The first single “Human Sewer” is now available HERE.
The band commented:
“Hitting hard straight out of the gate, ‘Human Sewer’ takes no prisoners! Hooking you in with alternations between slamming grooves and furious blasts all topped off with a cacophony of screams and roaring growls. Throughout, the track never lets up until it’s pounded you into the ground! The lyrics are based on one of the most grotesque and shocking real-life cases of neglect that has come to light in recent years. Serving as both the first single as well as the first track off our upcoming album ‘Ruthless’ it perfectly sets the tone for what’s to follow”.
Tracklist:
1. Human Sewer 2. Abusement Park 3. Terror Tales 4. Excreted Entity 5. Internal Delusions Of The Torn Mind 6. Pulverised Secretions 7. Anthropophagic Apocalypse pt.1 – Collapse 8. Anthropophagic Apocalypse pt.2 – Lord of Flesh 9. Curbstomp The Predator 10. Draco Dominus 11. Bio-Organic Liquid-Slam 12. Beyond the Veil of Death
Already a dominant presence in the extreme metal underground, DEVINE DEFILEMENT has solidified their reputation through tireless touring across Iceland and Europe, sharing stages with some of the genre’s fiercest acts. Their crushing live performances have left a lasting impact at Eistnaflug, Reykjavík Deathfest, Norðanpaunk, Deathfeast Open Air, and Nice to Eat You, with more festival appearances confirmed for 2025.
