Spawn Of Possession broke up in 2017 but they're basically back as Retromorphosis. The band features Spawn Of Possession vocalist Dennis Röndum, guitarists Christian Muenzner and Jonas Bryssling, bassist Erlend Caspersen alongside former Decrepit Birth drummer KC Howard.
Retromorphosis is now streaming their predictably crushing debut track "Vanished" from the upcoming album Psalmus Mortis, due out February 21. On the record and how it differs from their previous works as a band, Bryssling explained: "We had rules in Spawn Of Possession. Everything always had to be so intense. Psalmus Mortis is intense, too, but it can also be eerie or even quite simple."
On the choice to reunite as a new band instead of Spawn Of Possession, Bryssling said he "wanted to make an album that wasn't tied to anything we'd done before." Which makes sense – there are high expectations for a Spawn Of Possession reunion. A new band, less so. Though this first single is a ripper, so now the expectations are high again. Great job, guys.
Psalmus Mortis was produced, mixed, and mastered by Magnus Sedenberg and given artwork by Arif Septian (Poisondust). Pre-orders are available here.
