Death, Doom, and Feminine Resistance: Murderess Releases New EP "Time to Kill: Volume II"

The extreme metal band Murderess returns in full force with "Time to Kill: Volume II", a direct sequel to their debut release. This new EP deepens the band’s fusion of death, doom, and black metal, combining it with sharp, politically engaged lyrics. It expands on Murderess’s core purpose: to give voice to memory, pain, and female resistance — whether rooted in real lives, mythic figures, or stories erased by official history.

Recorded once again at Orbis Studio (DF) with co-production between the band and the studio, the EP delivers an even denser sound, filled with crushing riffs, visceral vocals, and ritualistic atmospheres that channel the ferocity of death metal, the brooding introspection of doom, and the symbolic weight of black metal.

Each track serves as a chapter of denunciation and evocation. In “Lady Death”, the band pays tribute to Soviet sniper Ljudmila Pavlichenko, one of the deadliest fighters of World War II. The track “Baba Yaga”, which also appears on the EP’s cover, reimagines the witch as a powerful, ambiguous force — a mythic figure who defies the commodification of female bodies. The provocative “No Father” takes aim at patriarchal religiosity, confronting the historical abuse and silencing of women within dominant spiritual narratives.

Closing the EP, the instrumental piece “Murderess II” connects directly to Volume I, continuing the band’s narrative through layered sonic textures that function as a soundtrack for collective memory, survival, and rage.

Founded in 2023 by Jazz Kaipora (guitar) and Claudia Franco (vocals), and now joined by Pedro Fraga (drums) and Clarissa Carvalho (bass), Murderess has been making its mark as one of the most compelling names in the Brazilian underground metal scene. Known for their intense live performances and appearances alongside bands like Crypta, Mystifier, Velho, and Vazio, the group stands out for its brutal sonic identity and fiercely intentional message — a collective cry for memory, justice, and liberation.
