RESURRECTED – neues Album im April; Videosingle Premiere
Testimony Records proudly announces the new and eighth overall full-length album of German brutal death veterans RESURRECTED, entitled "Perpetual", set for release on April 10th 2026.
A video clip for the album's leadoff single "Sanity Is Lost" is available here: https://youtu.be/JCdo507djYM
Drummer Dennis Thiele states: "The first single track, 'Sanity Is Lost', delivers a crushing mid-tempo assault rooted deep in the old school death metal tradition. It is driven by filthy grooves, dense riffing, and relentless heaviness. We are channelling the raw brutality of classic Cannibal Corpse–era death metal. At this song's midpoint, the pace accelerates into a violent outburst that pushes intensity to breaking point. It is a merciless reminder that once the momentum hits, sanity is truly lost."
The video is inspired by Germany's most catastrophic mining disaster: On February 20, 1946, shortly after noon, a methane explosion ignited an even bigger coal dust detonation in the mine Zeche Monopol Schacht Grimberg 3/4. 405 miners, personnel, and three British officers of the North German Coal Control perished in the massive detonation underground. While the reason for initial explosion remains unknown, lax post-war security standards are widely blamed. The so-called Myth of Grimberg remains as a deep scar in the collective memory of the Ruhr Area.
On "Perpetual", RESURRECTED keep a steady course, which remains firmly on an old school death metal trajectory. This is completely befitting for a band that ranks among the earliest pioneers of the brutal style in their country. What makes the difference are the many years of experience, both in songwriting and on stage, which are reflected in the technical proficiency as well as the powerful and absolutely crushing tracks that are a tribute to their craft on this album.
When guitarist Thomas Granzow went all in with death metal by co-founding RESURRECTED in 1993, the band's musical direction was clearly advertised with the first demo "Darkside of Reality" (1994) that already combined unbridled aggression and technical precision as trademarks of the style and gained them traction in the underground scene even beyond the local radius. RESURRECTED's 1998 debut full-length "Raping Whores" gained them international recognition for the sheer brutality of riffs, pounding blast beats, and resonant growls.
With widely acclaimed albums such as "Butchered in Excrement" (2001) and "Endless Sea of Loss" (2006), RESURRECTED solidified their status as death metal staple in Europe and built a loyal following. Although the Germans have been compared to the genre's greats such as CANNIBAL CORPSE, SUFFOCATION, and MORBID ANGEL, they have always had an unmistakable sound of their own. This was marked by their audible openness to subtly incorporate elements from other directions of extreme music.
Energetic and relentless live performances have opened the doors for RESURRECTED to tour across Europe and to enter stages of many renowned international festivals that include among many others the Party.San Open Air and Deathfeast Open Air (DE), Milwaukee Metal Fest (US), Obscene Extreme (CZ), and Inferno Festival (NO).
RESURRECTED spent a large part of 2025 channelling their decades of experience, talent, and unwavering passion for death metal into "Perpetual": RESURRECTED did not grow old, they got even better!
