HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY - Albumankündigung & Track Premiere
HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY, led by former MONSTROSITY and VILE frontman and current artwork artist Mike Hrubovcak and Rogga Johansson from PAGANIZER and RIBSPREADER, have announced their third full-length "Disturbing The Cenotaph", set for release on December 12th 2025 through Pulverised Records.
A first track, "Island Of The Dead", has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/Z48CsjkIV_s
Since the duo, completed by former THE PROJECT HATE drummer Thomas Ohlsson, originally picked up their moniker as an homage to the 1981 cult horror flick of the same name, it shouldn’t come as a surprise they’ve once again paying tribute to director Lucio Fulci (1927-1996) in one of this album most lethal salvo, "New York Ripper". Elsewhere on this third album, other tracks like "Undead Apocalypse" or "Burial Disturbance" were inspired by other famous horror classics like "Night Of The Living Dead" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Hrubovcak has come up in his lyrics with his own tales of terror.
Some are totally fictional like, "Coffin Colony" about a "diseased homeless living in underground coffins who gets infected with rabies after eating sewer rats". Others, like "Lunatic Butcher" are inspired by real-life events or, in that case, by the antics and vicious killings of Paul John Knowles, dubbed ‘the Casanova killer’.
Rogga Johansson states: "This album is HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY on steroids. The sound is broad and impious, the vocals are awesome and the heavy riffing interlaced with occasional melody makes an overall varied, fun and GORY listen!"
Completed, like on 2024’s "The Mortuary Hauntings", by a gruesome artwork courtesy Felipe Mora (whose nightmarish visions can already be seen on albums by CONSUMPTION, ACHERON or WOMBBATH) and mixed by Håkan Stuvemark from WOMBBATH, "Disturbing The Cenotaph" is one raw, in-your-face and eight songs packed death-metal-to-the-core album ready to chill you to the bone!
