This up-and-coming Death Metal outfit will destroy our putrid bodies with their debut album, a conceptually rich, sonically punishing record that blends fantasy-driven storytelling with crushing heaviness.

Formed in early 2021 in Louisville, Kentucky by vocalist Jacob Spencer and guitarist Paul Nunavath, the ruthless Death Metal squad known as Redivider is ready to attack armed with their debut album, entitled Sounds Of Malice. Recorded at Round Table Recording Company and Michael Kent O’Bryan Studio, mixed by the band’s own Paul Nunavath, and mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound, the debut opus by the aforementioned Jacob Spencer on vocals and Paul Nunavath on the guitar, alongside Jake Atha also on the guitar, Alexander Farrington on bass, and James Goetz on drums is a conceptually rich, sonically punishing record that blends fantasy-driven storytelling with crushing heaviness, always thriving on tension, rhythm, and unapologetic intensity, or in other words, it’s Death Metal built to be felt as much as heard.

It’s time to slam into the circle pit like a true bastard to the sound of Quartered & Devoured, opening the album on a demented note thanks to the gruesome roars by Jacob and James’ unstoppable beats and fills. Paul and Jake continue to feed Jacob’s roars with their visceral riffage in the title-track Sounds of Malice, resulting in a brutal and intricate display of old school Death Metal; whereas Alexander’s bass couldn’t have sounded more metallic in Shackled to Existence, accompanied by the once again demented drumming by James. Apocalyptic Waste is another bestial song perfect for some wild headbanging, with Jacob vociferating rabidly in the name of Death Metal, followed by Fratricide, a no shenanigans, in-your-face Death Metal extravaganza where Paul and Jake slash their stringed axes ruthlessly. After that, James kicks off the just as heavy and evil Bask in the Rot, an excellent option for their live performances, before we face the bludgeoning Left to Rot, ending the album on a demonic mode to the inhumane growls by Jacob.

In a nutshell, Redivider have crafted a debut that is punishing, articulate, and unflinchingly true to the spirit of Death Metal, a concentrated expression of aggression, narrative depth, and old school brutality fused with modern execution that will surely please the most diehard fans of the style. Those talented and unrelenting American death dealers are waiting for you on Facebook and on Instagram with news, tour dates and more of their music, and you can also enjoy their demented creations on Spotify and of course purchase Sounds Of Malice from BandCamp or by clicking HERE or HERE. Sounds of Malice brings forward the sounds of the glory of 90’s Death Metal, and we can rest assured Redivider will keep destroying our putrid bodies with their undisputed blend of savagery for many years to come.
