Quebec City, Canada’s Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy continues its legacy of slam brutality with their upcoming fourth record “The Fallen Lament” being unleashed digitally on July 19th and CD on August 9th from Stillbirth Records / Gore House Productions (SBR is a GHP sublabel). Designed to be both a cerebral and visceral experience, it is a relentless barrage of apocalyptic chaos. Their latest single “Facial Gutting” featuring guest vocals from Kiryu Zhang (Dehumanizing Itatrian Worship) teases what’s to come, as the band explains:
“With this album, we’ve done what we’ve always done, simply better. We don’t want to stray too far from our original DNA; from what makes the band who we are, but there’s always going to be progression in some direction. This record marks our longest gap between releases, which isn’t something we had in mind, but great art can’t be rushed out the door, and while it may have taken some time to materialize, I’m certain that this record will be everything fans have wanted and then some, because it certainly was for us.”
Originating as a solo project by Alice, OxE has evolved significantly since its inception, now featuring Jesse on lead vocals and production duties. The band has continuously pushed creative boundaries with each release, balancing the desire for innovation with the need to stay true to their roots. “The Fallen Lament” exemplifies this evolution, showcasing a sound that is heavier and more frantic than ever before.
The band also remarks that making the transition from Gutter Slam to nigh-high concept Brutal Death Metal a bit more digestible, the three old songs on the upcoming EP are completely revamped, to bring them into the new era of Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with a more defined, but nonetheless crushing sound. They are recommended for fans of Ulcerate, Disentomb, and Enmity.
