After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020's lauded "Stare Into Death and Be Still", New Zealand unorthodox Death Metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album "Cutting the Throat of God".
An acknowledgement that the band's most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.
After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, "Cutting the Throat of God" is filled with peerless rhythms, the band's smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland.
"Cutting the Throat of God" explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.
Lyrics :
Forbidden to see the evident
In fires immersive
Demolish the myth of permanence
Imprisoned by inward revulsion
The dawn is hollow
Failing to distinguish between life and death
The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn
Deception interwoven in poisoned judgement
Transfixed by illumination
Last steps to withdrawal
The dust cannot settle as disorder persists
The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay
This adornment trivial when we will all burn
Toward a bitter end
Reckoning with the aftermath
Of a future left wanting
What once was whole
Now shattered into pieces
Lacerations are the sign to relinquish
Foreshadow immiseration
Toward a bitter end
Unceasing dereliction
Unrelenting decline
Desolation is the arc of life’s motion - Hudba
Same planet, same time line with Ulcerate, thank you mom and dad, thank you life.
Haha love this
Wrong continent to ever see them live lol
@@bikerluke182facts lol
😂
❤🤘the world keeps turning🤘😻
How the hell are they dissonant and harmonious at the same time?
They evolved into something truly unique.
Musical hearts❤🤘
Music nerd here. I felt the need to point out that dissonance is the opposite of consonance not the opposite of harmony. Any two or more notes sounding together, regardless whether they are dissonant or consonant, classifies as harmony, as harmony is the vertical relationship between intervals. Melody would be the horizontal relationship between intervals.
This was exactly my takeaway from this song...
@@user-ng8ss9ce8c thank you, that makes sense to me
Hearing this band evolve over the years into THIS... has been one of the most satisfying and inspirational experiences of my musical life. Legend shit. Please never stop.
What the great keith merrow said ^^^^
The bar for extremity and brilliance this year in music has been set.
True story
Don't forget Vitriol
If this track is any indication, 'Cutting the Throat of God' will undoubtedly be a strong AOTY contender..
@@FrancescoFiligoiI don't understand the hype behind Vitriol, seems like box standard death metal to me 🤷♂️
@@pokemonmandude222 Screaming in pain and randomly screaming can sound like the same, but they are not.
Hoggard is off the fuckin chain on this one, waaaay underrated as a guitarist
Only underrated by people who don’t know who he is 😊
Feels a little unfair he sometimes gets overshadowed by Jaimie, (who is without a doubt one of the greatest death metal drummers of all time) but there's literally nobody on the planet who writes riffs that sound remotely like this. Closest comparison I can think of is whoever plays guitar for Yellow Eyes with all they layered guitar parts and harmonies going on. Kind of a shame they don't have a second guitarist performing live with them imo
@@michaeljohnston8891 he uses a loop pedal live to create the same layers, which is all the more impressive. Hoggard definitely needs more recognition.
@@hamsandwich123 Yeah, the fact that he uses a loop station to replicate it live is fucking insane. No backing tracks in sight.
@@coolkille420imagine the kind of practice routine this guy has in order to be able to get the first loop right every time while live. Some of their riffs are beyond ridiculous to play
They really killed it with the guitar mix this time around, it really shows off how absolutely bizarre Mike Hoggard’s riffs are
As a drummer, I was like awww the drums are lower in the mix, but now you point it out, it's like a new course in a meal. I have something different to snack on and enjoy this time around
@@bikerluke182 the mix is definitely waaay different from what were used to, but I think they’ve just tailored it better to bring out the unique aspects of their music a little better. I for one thought the drumming here was their usual course of mindfuckery
i learned by ear some of theyre old tracks, and man... ive been thinking for years , is really hoggard human?
@@xbzkxpazvzv6800 if you’ve figured out how to play Dissolved Orders, plz send me the tab, I’ve been trying to figure out what the actual fuck is going on after the first riff for a while now
@@xbzkxpazvzv6800 been trying to learn this one by ear too. So far it’s not anything ridiculously over the top, Spawn of Possession level technical, but trying to figure out the individual guitar parts while they’re all harmonizing off each other is rough
The kings return and no surprise, it's monumental. St Merat refuses to play anything less than insane. Such an inspirational trio!
Unreal to think these three can make this...unbelievably monumental...an awe inspiring assault on the senses 🤘🏼
Fr theyre such a special band
Discovered these masters in 2020 with Stare Into Death and Be Still and was completely blown away. Booked tickets to their live show in Melbourne on 1 August 2024 tonight. Will be in the front row screaming lyrics to the new tracks and old. All hail the dissonant lords of death metal!
Seem like the band is going into darker, almost black metal like, direction. The sound is like a combination of Destroyers of All and Shrine of Paralysis. It's more energetic/faster-paced and less melancholic than Stare but still maintains a heightened sense of melody that has appeared on their previous two, especially Stare. Excited to hear more.
I had similar thoughts on this, also guitar sound is more like on Shrine of Paralysis and drums sounds more dry compared to Stare. Love it
That part just before the ending was pure chaos, beautiful.
Can't wait for the record!
Black Metal touches are always welcome.
@@Necromass-ry9lx think Deathspell Omega or Plebeian Grandstand
That's what i thought. Definitely hear the Shrines of Paralysis vibes.
Dissonant Guitar work at its best. Dissonant and emotional at the same time. Ulcerate is doing a fantastic job here.
Word
I never thought Death metal would make me cry.
My face is melting off... I love this band. I'm so happy.
"Baby wake up, new Ulcerate just dropped"
😂
Who you talking to?
This sounds like everything I could have wanted in a follow-up to "Stare Into Death And Be Still". Absolutely gorgeous track.
I have listened to stare into death at least a couple hundred times. I agree with you
@@OlMoldy At least 70 times for me.
My guy writes some of the sickest and most interesting guitar riffs in death metal....
Ulcerate have this tendency to make ya acknowledge whats lingering in your subconscious, masterclass
I am a simple man… If i see a new post from Ulcerate i press like immediately
I preordered the album before I even came here to hear the song lmao
Cringe
I preorder the next album after listening Stare into death the first time 3 years ago hagagaha
That makes you a complex and badass man 🤘🏻
I preordered EVERYTHING! 😤
Ulcerate and Vitriol in the same year is nuts
You right man
One of the best DM bands to ever do it.
Calling them DM is way too simple
@@Necromass-ry9lx this single song wipes it's ass with basically any modern dm band, especially the legion of Bolt Thrower knock off bands and OSDM-revival shite.
I havent slept for 30 hours for some reason... then i saw this, it came like medicine, great work guys.... I loved it.
01:37 damn i love a whole record with just melodies and atmospheric fx like that
I personally love the more melodic direction they've gone, they took the already perfect formula they had and just like put 15% more melody while keeping the insane technical proficiency and it just works
16%
This one is going to be on A LOT of AOTY lists. It sure will be on mine.
This band is absolute supremacy, not for anyone definitely ulcerate is true art of impressive death what they achieve with each release this is making music with the heart regardless of the recognition of others excellent without words. Greetings from Mexico
You can always count on Ulcerate to come up with something dark, fresh, dynamic and original.
Homo Sapiens can behold three things eternally: How fire burns, how water flows, and this. Lyrics down below. I was literally waiting for this the whole day. Refreshing the page many times. WHOLE DAY. Im living in this timeline, where I hear the 2:50. Fkk, that palmuting… All Hail the Void from Nicaragua.

@@Adrian_MS86 pura vida maje!
Most anticipated album for me moving forward this year
Thers still akhlys and mgła
But if the quality is gonna match, it’s gonna be the most important year for the music ever lmao
@@makspieprzyca4032 akhlys supposed to drop this year? Fuckin hell that dude has released some of the best black metal ever
@@makspieprzyca4032 New Akhlys? Where is that info from, please?
Mgla has new material?
Ma boys are back..spectacular music as always ..thanks for your existence..greetings 🤘🏻🇬🇷👊🏻
Already album of the year for me.
I honestly wasn't even expecting a new release already, Stare Into Death is so amazing that it's carried me through the last 3 years and didn't once get old for me.
One of the few bands that give me immediate goosebumps.
I agree
Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. An absolute masterpiece.
The drumwork is insane
Everything about it is insane. Ulcerate the only band that can make me feel violent, deeply saddend , melancholic and just downright insignificant in comparison with the universe
Like floating down the river Styx
Hell yeah, new Ulcerate are always good news. Brilliant, sad, dissonant and obscure.
MY BODY IS READY
This band just gets better and better.
When your favorite band just comes out with their best song so far out of nowhere.
works like a sleeping pill for me too every time
One of the only current metal bands that sends shivers down my spine. The majestic power and emotion is overwhelming and I love it 🤘
The kings have been cooking 🤘 Can't wait for the album.
First experience listening to Ulcerate after being barraged with recommendations for them lately.
Fucking blown away and completely sold.
completely enamored with this band's sound. i feel like this album has the potential to go down as an all-time classic even more than the last one did
Getting some vibes of Shrines of Paralysis 🤘🏼🔥 But something different lik always ... Ulcerate Forever❤
Not one other band, not one other musician out there getting even close. Can't wait for the full album
portal, blut aus nord, deathspell omega, qrixkuor and ruins of beverast are all on the same level. and gorguts who sound like ulcerate's biggest influence.
I just have no words to desbribe how impressed I am
The kings are back
I’m so grateful to be alive in this day and time to experience such an amazing band, life is good right now! 🤘🏻🔥
Ulcerate does it again. 🤍 stunning first track and bloody hellish visuals, can’t wait for June!
4:10 enough said, cant wait
Very high bar for any new releases this year now
Absolutely crushing, and mesmerizing.
When finally death arrive to me, I will truly miss this band 😢
The forces that music interacts with is woven into the very fabric of our existence. I imagine in the next stage of whatever the hell life is, these monumentally powerful vibrations will ring true and familiar throughout all 12 dimensional planes
That weekend algorithm coming in hot with a banger from a band ive never heard before 🤘this band is awesome
The previous album is a masterpiece
You have to listen to stare into death.
This song really sounds so damn good!! Thanks for bring us the excellence in brutality!! Ulcerate just Rocks!!
im crying....
Fuck YES. The greatest band to ever exist, thank you Ulcerate!
WOW.
Hearing it for the first time felt like being a medieval
Phesant witnessing the live orchestra for the first time. I hope I dont overkill, but this sounds like a masterpiece.
Another absolute Masterpiece by these maniacs!
Masterpiece 🔥
Grandeur
Just came across these dudes today... absolute masterpiece!
bangerrr
A triumphant, hauntingly beautiful culmination of the band's previous mind-bending, stellar contributions to the world of metal.
If the next song doesn't start with an immediate sonic pummeling that would be a missed opportunity. But otherwise, the song is rad, and I'm really looking forward to the whole release.
Monumental, Can't wait for the album to drop, so dense and extreme. Ulcerate return to destroy
Majesty unfolding.
Amazing as always!
The official video is actually my honest reaction whilst listening to the song!
This band is f'n unreal. Loving this track🤘🔥🤘
Absolute masterpiece. Glad to see another video with same vibe of stare to Death and be still. Thanks
1:40 mixed with all the rest is what I love you guys for.
Ulcerate are really one of a kind, been a fan since Vermis. One of my favorite bands!
This is other wordly, they took their sonority into a more transcending and emotive plan... Holy shit, fuck
Amazing band, best metal drummer ever! New material sounds awesome, very intense and expressive!
ONLY the mighty Ulcerate could make a song like this; ALL the trademarks that makes this band a cut above the rest are present here. I sense another masterpiece of an album fortcoming... Just bloody excellent! 👌👌
..and someone please give Jamie Saint Merat some sort of medal; once again he takes extreme metal drumming to new hights!
It's insane after all this time and all the riffs Ulcerate continue to innovate and mature artistically.
I feel like they're spending more time working on hooks if this single and SIDABS is anything to go by and it's absolutely paying off.
Just started to listen this band. I don´t regret a second. Great DM with amazing drumwork and lots of elements.
big yes
These guys never let me down...😊
So happy to see a new album coming soon. Ulcerate crushes! I can feel the Ulcers manifesting throughout my innards!
Wait what? New Ulcerate? 2023-24 has been a true revival of death metal and Im so warm and fuzzy about it.
Finally, I was missing their lullabies
Honestly didn’t think they could top their last one! You have metal! And then there’s Ulcerate!!!
So good
Perfection
nah, the second i got a bandcamp alert, immediately pre-ordered didnt even have to listen to this first hahahaha
So much emotion and atmosphere put into this one. I'm glad they've decided to explore more of that sound.
Can’t wait for a new album from one of my favorite bands
Awesome song, clicked on it as soon as I saw it
space, metaphysics, black hole, ontologia in music
I love these guys so much. Gotta back the bois from NZ ❤
They always have a feel to their music. Feeling like, joining Dante’s journey into hell. So dark and visual. 🔥
Proving once again they are the tip of the spear in metal. Incredible
Avalanche of creativity!
This single and me have things in common:
We came!!
Fucking spectacular as always.
The best madness band on the World. Many years ago there was Morbid Angel, now there is Ulcerate. Totally sic, darkness, possessed, technically perfect, brilliant, dark and breathtaking. masochistically perfect. Fuck, I love it!
Instant classic
lol
Preordered the DMP exclusive vinyl!
Another masterpiece is coming
these guys are something else
😮 I didn't know ulcerate had a new album... there's so many metal albums coming out it's hard to keep up 😅
Another world....wow
God damn it, they are so far ahead of everyone else...
