Swedish death metal tyrants DEMONICAL post advance stream of their debut live record, Victorious Death – Live In Latin America, due out August 30th (CD/MC/Digital) and September 27th (LP) via Agonia Records.
The album constitutes tracks recorded during a tour of the eponymous region, which took place in September 2023. Stream the album below.
The audio received a full-scale treatment featuring mixing at Wellbay Studios with Johan Hjelm, and mastering at Pentagram Music Studios by George Emmanuel (LUCIFER’S CHILD, ex-ROTTING CHRIST, ex-NECORMANITA). The album artwork was created by Chris Kiesling.
DEMONICAL mastermind Martin Schulman commented: “After eighteen years and several hundred shows world-wide it’s finally time for the first DEMONICAL live full-length! We are very proud of this album – which was recorded during our ravishing Latin America tour in September last year – as it catches us in the raw and brings forth our Swedish death metal darkness in a pure and relentless way. We would like to thank our fans and followers for the support and dedication during all these years. You are the best, this album is for you!”
DEMONICAL was spawned in 2006 by then-former CENTINEX members, Martin Schulman (bass), Ronnie Bergerståhl (drums) and Johan Jansson (ex-guitars & ex-vocals), with a mission to return to the roots of death metal. The now-fivepiece has made good on that promise with a vengeance, traversing a HM2-beaten path of melodic, Swedish death metal, replete with darkness and brutality. Their last release, 2023’s Into Victory, crowns a discography of seven studio albums and three EPs, interlaced with regular tours. The last of them, Titans Of Darkness Tour, has seen the band journey across Europe with INQUISITION in spring 2024, with majority of shows sold-out.
