In The Name Of Chaos, the impending full-length from Swiss death metal unit, OMOPHAGIA, will drop this Friday via Unique Leader Records. The eleven-track, sophomore offering was recorded at the band’s own studio, mixed and mastered at Hertz Studio in Poland (Decapitated, Vader, Behemoth, Hate etc.), and is easily their fastest, heaviest and most brutal output to date.
As a precursor to its release, Metal Insider is streaming In The Name Of Chaos in its entirety observing, “If you’re a death metal fan, Swiss five-piece OMOPHAGIA’s 2011 debut, Guilt By Nescience, might have crossed your radar. The band, whose name relates to the consumption of raw flesh, have been working on their follow-up for five years, and it finally comes out this Friday. In The Name Of Chaos is technical, razor sharp and pummeling, and while the band’s blood-splattered press photos make them look more like Reservoir Dogs by way of Rambo than the riff-laden death dealers they are, don’t be put off by their appearance.”

Dead Rhetoric calls In The Name Of Chaos, “an exercise in blistering adrenaline,” while Wonderbox Metal offers of the release, “Playing a brutal and precise version of death metal, OMOPHAGIA know how to pen a good riff and a memorable song.” Adds No Clean Singing of “Down We Fall,” specifically, “There’s something perversely satisfying about the surprise of seeing a flesh-eating band dressed to the nines in business attire kicking down the door to a blast furnace of superheated death metal. And then you discover that these dudes are quick-change artists as well as fleet-fingered assassins. And yes, there will be blood before it’s over… Along with the flash and fieriness that comes from all those strings being plucked so hyperactively and those drumheads and cymbals being assaulted so vigorously, the song includes a head-whipping melody that proves to be insidiously infectious, and the band also manage to give you a bludgeoning beating of brutality as well.”
In conjunction with its release, OMOPHAGIA will bring their odes to the stage on a near-two-week run of European live abrasions supporting Morgoth, Incantation and DarkRise. The tour commences today and will run through April 23rd.
