Obliteration Ritual, the debut full-length from Necrotic Vortex, is out now, a raw, unrelenting sonic invocation of the end times. Conceived, written, and performed entirely by Melkor, this album drags the listener into a vortex of old-school death metal brutality, ritualistic horror, and total nihilism.
From the opening assault of “Rotting Existence” to the final breath of “Plague of the Undying”, Obliteration Ritual offers no reprieve, only the cold embrace of decay. Each track is a violent ritual of obliteration, where flesh rots, souls scream, and light is swallowed whole.
Melkor is the sole force behind Necrotic Vortex, summoning every riff, drum blast, guttural growl, and atmospheric torment. The album was entirely produced, mixed, and mastered by Melkor at Studios13, ensuring a cohesive and singular vision steeped in death and darkness.
Joining him on this ritual of annihilation is Jorge Matos, whose apocalyptic solos cut through the chaos with surgical precision and unrelenting fury.
Crafted in total isolation, with no compromise and no light, Obliteration Ritual is a declaration of absolute death metal devotion, a sonic offering to the void.
