| Over two decades of toil have passed. The aeon of the end was declared, parasitic wisdom was gained, and the formula of undoing was at last achieved. MITOCHONDRION has awakened from a deep, dreamless slumber. After eleven agonizing years, the entity pried itself loose from Cronian clutches to embrace suffering once more.
This singular force in death metal has prepared in cloistered meditation, ready to ascend the peak and once again proselytize the harrowing word. The new MITOCHONDRION album, Vitriseptome—released nearly 14 years after their last full-length, Parasignosis—is an axe head the size of the known universe, brought down with terrifying force to sever the neck of all creation.
Forged and fermented with blood, sweat, and bile over more than a decade, this Great Work nearly consumed the lives of all involved. What remains is a monument that compels one to question the very nature of Death: enantiodromian obeisance to the Abraxan force beneath Saturn’s guise.
A double album both overloaded and unbearable, Vitriseptome demands what little life you have left—to be pulverized, conflagrated, calcified, fermented, and finally, purified. Consisting of eleven Alchemical Death Metal works, spread across seventeen tracks, this trilogy unfolds in three parts over two phases, spanning nearly 90 harrowing minutes.
