Three years after their crushing debut Defiled in Oblivion, CASTRATOR returns
with Coronation of the Grotesque, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but
leaves them shattered in its wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American
death metal elite.
The creative collaboration is primarily driven by founders Carolina Perez and bassist Robin
Mazen, with ferocious vocalist Clarissa Badini and newly recruited guitar virtuoso Sara
Loerlein completing the lineup.
Hailing from the Mid-Atlantic United States, DESOLUS formed in 2019 by Jimmy Frost (guitars
and vocals) and Vivek Rangarajan (bass and vocals). While recording a series of demo during
the dark years of the pandemic with Sebastian Philips (Exhumed / Noisem / Castle Freak), they
met Travis Stone (percussion), a former member of Noisem and member of Pig Destroyer.
Stone heard the demos and was immediately on board to join the band. Day in and day out,
Frost, Rangarajan, and Stone bunkered down in their practice space, at a time when the world
in a state of collapse, to write the band's debut album. Recorded and engineered by Sebastian
Philips, SYSTEM SHOCK was the debut album written by the trio.
