Finnish death metal act SEPULCHRAL CURSE have premiered a new song entitled “Church of Loss”, taken from their upcoming debut full-length album, “Only Ashes Remain,” which is slated to be out in stores July 31 via Transcending Obscurity.
Check out “Church of Loss” above.
Sepulchral Curse started taking shape in the early 2013 as a few tracks, riffs and ideas, still without an actual line-up, but with a clear vision: to create Death Metal in the vein of the elder statesmen of the genre while pushing and exploring the boundaries of a backbone line-up of drums, vocals, a guitar and a bass.
While the initiation of the band didn’t occur until 2014, preparations were being made throughout 2013. The band began rehearsing for studio and live performances in January 2014 with the line-up of Kari Kankaanpää (Solothus), Jaakko Riihimäki (ex-Dethera, ex-Devastracktor, ex-Gladenfold), Tommi Ilmanen (Gambanteinn, Urgamla, ex-Dethera) and Niilas Nissilä (ex-Urgamla).
During the spring of 2014 the band entered the studio to record their debut EP titled “A Birth in Death”. It was released by the Greek Chaos and Hell Productions during August 2014. After the release, the band concentrated on playing live around Finland.
