BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to present COSMOPHAGE's striking mini-album, Sidereal Malignancy, on CD format. ME SACO UN OJO RECORDS will be releasing the cassette tape version.Originally released digitally in October 2024, Sidereal Malignancy announced the rebirth of COSMOPHAGE. Previously, under the moniker Utterance, the Brazilian band had released the two-song Conflagration EP in 2019 - a tantalizingly short teaser of the band's potential. That potential has now blossomed on Sidereal Malignancy. Honoring that ever-apt title, here do COSMOPHAGE mangle mind and body with gutted 'n' angular DEATH METAL of a most mid-'90s vintage. The spectre of Sinister looms large here, but the Dutch legends' classic works more so form a foundation for COSMOPHAGE to find their own voice. And indeed they do across these six songs - slashing one minute, stomping the next, working in walking-backwards riffing as well as copious displays of brute strength, but always with a view to violate expectations of where a song could go next. Not so much "tech" as just "fully fried," Sidereal Malignancy is a bountiful feast for death metal diehards who prize brainy brutality and suitably crushing production.
