- Dethroned & Devoured is a crushing statement of sonic extremity, merging blackened death metal with chaotic industrial textures to create an atmosphere that’s as oppressive as it is captivating. The album rips through convention with dissonant riffs, relentless drumming, and guttural vocals that sound like they’re echoing from some forgotten abyss. There’s an unrelenting sense of madness throughout the record, as if the band is channeling something ancient and malevolent with each track. It’s a visceral experience—dense, abrasive, and unflinchingly dark—that challenges the listener to confront a world where all order has collapsed. For fans of extreme music that pushes boundaries, Dethroned & Devoured is both a punishment and a revelation.

FFO: At The Gates, Anaal Nathrakh, Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Strapping Young Lad

The album will be released on June 13th via Apocalyptic Witchcraft on limited edition vinyl, Jewelcase CD, cassette, and digital.

NO CLEAN SINGING Video Premiere of Outergods — “COSMIC ABOMINATION”

On June 13th Apocalyptic Witchcraft will release "Dethroned & Devoured," the second album from the UK extremists Outergods. Like its predecessor, it's rooted in themes of dark fantasy and cosmic horror and it offers an unrelenting blend of blackened death metal, grindcore, and extreme intensity. To help spread the word, today we're premiering an electrifying video for the first single, "Cosmic Abomination" -- which Islander calls "an explosive display of mayhem and monstrosity, and of blistering and bludgeoning chaos, but with an evil unearthly aura that feeds into the song’s title."

Outergods To Unleash New Album "Dethroned & Devoured" on June 13th via Apocalyptic Witchcraft

Following the release of their debut album, Outergods immediately began the creation of their sophomore record, Dethroned & Devoured. The writing process began in autumn 2023, with Nathe demoing ideas through to spring 2024 before full production commenced. Line-up changes due to shifting personal responsibilities initially slowed progress, but once vocal tracking began, the album’s tone was fully realized.


Like its predecessor, Dethroned & Devoured is rooted in dark fantasy and cosmic horror, drawing inspiration from the lore of Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and Elden Ring—all of which provided escapism during the tougher moments of recent years. Produced and mixed by Nathe, the album’s production was influenced by the work of Daniel Bergstrand and Jaime Gomez Arellan with the latter handling mastering duties.


The album also features guest appearances from Chad Kapper of Frontierer and Rune Stigart of the iconic Danish Industrial Metal band Mnemic, a band that has been a significant influence on the members of Outergods.


The artwork for Dethroned & Devoured reflects the album's lyrical themes, capturing them in a unique illustration created by Nathe’s brother, Tim Sinfield. Tim shares, "My approach to this artwork was quite different from my usual process. Instead of working with multiple tones, I stripped it down to just two. It took months to finalize the idea, sketching many environments, poses, and creature concepts. Throughout the process, I kept in mind my brother's love for the mystical imagery of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, as well as the overall sound of the record. I was also inspired by artists like Dan Seagrave, particularly his work on Morbid Angel’s Gateways to Annihilation.”

Dethroned & Devoured is the next evolution of Outergods, offering an unrelenting blend of blackened death metal, grindcore, and extreme intensity. The album will be released on June 13th via Apocalyptic Witchcraft on limited edition vinyl, digipak CD, cassette, and digital.


The first single from the album "Cosmic Abomination" will drop on streaming platforms on March 21st with the music video following on March 31st. .

We have a rare treat for you today, not just an exceptionally good song by An Axis Of Perdition from their mind-bending new album "Apertures" but also an exceptionally good new short film for the song by award-winning filmmaker Randal Plunkett. The video is like a haunting but uplifting fairy-tale from centuries past. The song becomes like a surreal whirlwind trip through a dazzling but perilous carnival, one that throws genre labels to the winds - fascinating and exhilarating.
