LARVAE - Unleashes First Single From Forthcoming Sophomore Full-Length

Bay-area death-doom metallers Larvae have unleashed the first single, "Open Tomb Of Nightmares", from their forthcoming album, Entitled To Death, set for release on 7 April via Fucking Kill Records.

Oakland, California has summoned the rituals of many metal legions over the decades. Its stench is filled with dark art, morbid riffs, death and doom. There's a scorched place in the corner of the crumbling landscape evoking evil and witchy magic where Larvae feasts on the remains of those who perished.

Entitled To Death pursues a human experience, traversing the middle realm seen through the eyes of a defected warrior. Bound to a reality of misanthrope, power, and trauma, the protagonist seeks balance until the final collapse in a land filled with ruin and loss. The crossover compositions and lyrical anecdotes grapple with mental health and self-worth before crossing over into a cosmic abyss.

Inspired by 90s legends like Runemagick, Paradise Lost, Immolation, Bolt Thrower, Neurosis and Dismember, Larvae decomposes death and doom metal to emote through narrative and conjure dismal hallucinations.

The sophomore album by Larvae unveils a bare-boned trio led by founding member vocalist/guitarist/engineer Brad Kobylczak (Eulogy, Kuru, Machine Head, Green Day), accompanied by the low-end marauding of bassist Wyatt Culbertson (Born/Dead, Abrupt) and the percussive barrage of Eric Evert (Rebels Advocate) on drums. Since 2011, Larvae has been ruminating on its own breed of death/doom atmosphere conjoined with blackened passages and macabre riffing to align the unique anatomy forming what stands today. Entitled To Death delivers a slab of morbidity to scrape away festering corpses into heaps of liquified tissue.

Now, "Open Tomb Of Nightmares"! Link
