MORDETH - Hermetic Creation

After 37 years of tearing through the underground, Brazilian death metal legends Mordeth return with Hermetic Creation, and they haven’t skipped a god forsaken beat. From the opening’s of “Lux Tenebris”, the album plunges you into a cosmos of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and vocals that claw deep within. It’s brutal, precise, and terrifyingly melodic all wrapped up neatly into what you would expect from the DM gods, a perfect storm of old school aggression and modern technicality.

Tracks “Alien” and “Stellar Necropolis” showcase the band’s knack for building tension before unleashing absolute devastation, while title track “Hermetic Creation” is a cosmic maelstrom of intricate riffs, hypnotic leads, and drumming that refuses to give in. Every song is meticulously constructed, but it never feels sterile, Mordeth inject a sense of menace and atmosphere that keeps you on edge the whole time. “Varginha’s Paradox” and “The Arcane Cosmonaut” push the sci fi themes to the forefront, blending otherworldly melodies with sheer carnage.

Production by @lucianomarciani and the band themselves nail the sound. It’s polished enough to hear every brutal nuance & raw enough to make you feel like you’re standing in the middle of absolute noise annihilation. When “Beyond the Cosmic Veil” & “The Death Of Everything” hits, you’re fully immersed in a world of darkness, horror, and absolute metal mastery.

With Hermetic Creation, Mordeth prove why they’re still one of death metal’s most relentless and innovative forces. This album is devastating, and just fucking loco 🤪
