Austrian death metal survivalists Cadaverous Condition have signed to The Circle Music for the release of the band's highly anticipated new album, "Never Arrive, Never Return”. The album will be released on CD, LP and digital formats.
The first single, along with a video and album pre-orders will be released on 2 May.
"Never Arrive, Never Return" marks a return to Cadaverous Condition's ferocious death metal roots. The album is a relentless assault on the senses, featuring a mix of epic tracks alongside haunting half-ballads, brutal eruptions and groove-laden songs interwoven with the band's signature cryptic lyrics, all delivered with crisp production.
"With several albums to their credit and a brilliant career in the European death metal underground, they have nothing left to prove to anyone. They compose music for their enjoyment and this is evident in every song from their upcoming album "Never Arrive, Never Return", which is the first to be released by The Circle Music. But we will have the opportunity to talk about this soon. For now, we welcome them and we are very happy to work together”, commented The Circle Music about the signing.
Formed in Austria during the early 90s, Cadaverous Condition carved a unique path in extreme metal. While their vocals remained rooted in death metal, they experimented with diverse influences, covering artists like The Sisters of Mercy and collaborating with acts like Nurse With Wound, Thighpaulsandra, Tobias Nathaniel (The Black Heart Procession) and Herr Lounge Corps. They also did an art project with Bill Drummond (The KLF) involving a specially made CD and sending a message in a bottle from the shores of Iceland. Despite these explorations, Cadaverous Condition never strayed from their core: extreme metal with a distinct and reflective style. They return in 2024 with "Never Arrive, Never Return," a fitting title for a band known for their relentless sonic journey.
