Raw old school Death, Grind, and Crust – UNEARTHLY RITES’ second album out in April via
Svart Records
UNEARTHLY RITES delivers filthy, mold-ridden death metal deeply rooted in the muddy
sewers of the Finnish DIY punk and hardcore scene. The band will release its second fulllength
album, Tortural Symphony of the Flesh, via Svart Records on April 3rd, 2026.
Formed in 2020, Unearthly Rites has previously released an EP (s/t, 2021) and one fulllength
album (Ecdysis, 2024), which explored dystopian visions of colonialist greed and
ecocide. The forthcoming second album expands and intensifies this thematic core; Tortural
Symphony of the Flesh presents a total meltdown of nature, humanity, and machine, and of
transgression, lust and power. Musically, the album advances the band’s crushing riffs and
characteristically moldy grimness toward a more malicious and brutal soundscape.
Unearthly Rites does not merely document the atrocities of capitalist society but explicitly
calls for action in defense of nature and the rights of ethnic, gender and sexual minorities.
“Tortural Symphony of the Flesh deepens our critique of capitalist oppression as a force that devastates nature through ecocide, erodes minority rights, and promotes conservationist ideology that ultimately reinforces colonialist power. Nature and humanity are inseparably fused in imagery of metal, roots, mud, flesh, and ice, forming a visceral rejection of fossilindustrial society. Queer BDSM lust and the words of William Blake are offered as an antidote to the christofascist trajectory”, comments the band.
