The torchbearers of diabolical abomination unite once again armed with their sophomore opus, dragging us down into the fiery abysses of Turkish Death Metal without warning.

Having remained a consistent force in the underground, Kadıköy, Turkey’s own malevolent Death Metal beast Diabolizer is back from the pits of the netherworld with their sophomore offering, the ruthless Murderous Revelations, following up on their venomous debut EP Apokalypse and their critically acclaimed, demolishing first full-length album Khalkedonian Death. Recorded at Mezar Sound Studios (vocals and drums) and by the band members on their own (guitars and bass), mixed and mastered by Emre Bingöl, and displaying a sulfurous, incendiary artwork by Dechristianize Art, the new album by vocalist Abomination, guitarists Can and Mustafa, bassist Malik, and drummer Aberrant brings to our avid ears savage riffing and blasting drums with gargantuan vocals, dragging us down into its fiery abysses without warning.

Just like in their previous album it’s pedal to the metal already from the very first second in Into the Depths of Diseased Minds, a lecture in Death Metal spearheaded by the demonic guttural by Abomination; and Aberrant destroys his enemies like a bulldozer in Hogtied in Razorwire, offering us all exactly what we need to bang our heads like true servants of chaos and hatred. Purulent Divinity in Black Flames carries one of the darkest song names ever crafted by Diabolizer, and the music exhales all that darkness thanks to the Stygian, visceral riffs by Can and Mustafa, supported by the thunderous bass by Malik, followed by Seeds of the Dethroned, the epitome of Turkish Death Metal at its finest, with the band blasting our faces with their demented riffs and solos, nonstop beats and fills, and the always venomous roars by Aberration.

Then investing in an absurdly heavy, neck-breaking sonority, the band will pulverize our cranial skulls in Set the World Ablaze (Infernal Dawn), one of those Death Metal songs that transpire brutality, violence and obscurity, whereas Bloodsteam Bonegrinder beautifully summarizes their core essence, with the inhumane growls by Aberration walking hand in hand with the apocalyptic, lethal riffage by Can and Mustafa until the very end. As mentioned already, those Turkish savages definitely know how to properly name their songs, with Deathmarch of the Murderous Tyrant showcasing an overdose of infuriated beats and fills by Aberrant that sound like the soundtrack to Armageddon. And finally, there’s no hope in sight as their last breath of vile and grim Death Metal comes in the form of Into the Jaws of Cerberus, with Can and Mustafa once again delivering crisp, striking riffs and solos in the name of extreme music.

From the frantic aggression of the instruments to the savagery displayed in the vocals, everything about Murderous Revelations feels like a strong continuation from their supreme debut album in 2021, which already saw them establish a loyal following. Hence, don’t forget to follow those unrelenting, talented Turkish servants of death on Facebook and on Instagram, to stream their devastating music on Spotify, and above all that, to purchase their demented new album from their own BandCamp, from the Dark Descent Records’ BandCamp, or from the Me Saco Un Ojo Records’ BandCamp, keeping the fires of old school, no shenanigans Death Metal burning like the pits of hell. The return of Diabolizer is an essential moment in the Death Metal calendar for 2025, and you better not miss it or you’ll have to face their fury and suffer in the hands of one of the best bands in the current extreme music scene worldwide.
