A split release from beyond the crypt, Defilers in Morbid Decay unites two of Italy’s filthiest underground forces—Morbus Grave and Deathfucker—for a raw and relentless assault on the senses. Issued on cassette by Headsplit Reocords & Necrolatry Records, this split is a must for those devoted to the ways of old.
Morbus Grave opens the ritual with a pair of venomous tracks that channel pure cemetery stench. “Rancid Flesh” lurches forward with barbaric intent—thick, churning riffs drenched in distortion, ghastly vocals echoing from the abyss, and drums that swing between doom-laden crawl and feral bursts. It's the kind of track that brings to mind the most vile corners of early ‘90s death metal. “Necronomicon” carries that momentum with even more fire, its eerie leads and chaotic structure culminating in a spine-chilling outro that sounds like the earth closing back over a freshly buried corpse.
Deathfucker follow with their own brand of Italian savagery—faster, thrashier, and just as rabid. “Wounded Revelation” explodes with a raw energy that borders on unhinged, driven by ripping guitars and vocals that spit venom with every line. There’s a touch of early blackened death in their sound, evoking that primal first wave of extremity. “Crown of Infamy” ups the ante, bursting forth with chaotic speed, razor-sharp riffs, and solos that slice through the noise like rusted blades. It’s a wild ride through decaying realms, soaked in the filth and fury of classic death/thrash.
Both bands stay fiercely committed to their underground roots, delivering exclusive material that feels as authentic as it is rabid. Defilers in Morbid Decay isn’t just a split—it’s a statement. A declaration that the old ways are alive and rotting in Italy's underground, and these bands are its proudest torchbearers. Essential for fans of true death metal rot.
