Three years after their crushing debut Defiled in Oblivion, Castrator return with Coronation of the Grotesque, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but leaves them shattered in its wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American death metal elite.
\n\u0093We see it as a leap forward,\u0094 exclaims co-founder Carolina Perez (drums). \u0093It\u0092s by far the strongest work we\u0092ve done to date. Writing Coronation of the Grotesque was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and everything seemed to come together much more naturally this time. While the album still retains elements of who we were as a band, it\u0092s much more refined, cohesive and brutal.\u0094
\nThe creative collaboration is primarily driven by founders Carolina Perez and bassist Robin Mazen, with ferocious vocalist Clarissa Badini and newly recruited guitar virtuoso Sara Loerlein completing the lineup.
\n\u0093Sara has been fantastic. She\u0092s incredibly professional, brings a ton of new ideas, and her experience really shines through. She\u0092s added a fresh dynamic to the band, and her guitar leads are absolutely killer! We\u0092re really excited to have her as part of the band.\u0094
\nLyrically Coronation of the Grotesque explores a range of historical and societal themes that reflect on injustice, victimization, and human suffering. Among the topics confronted are the tragic killing of Mahsa Amini, the ancient Sumerian practice of eunuchization, and seething condemnation of predator Naas\u00f3n Joaqu\u00edn Garc\u00eda. Badini\u0092s exceptional vocals elevate the lyrics, delivering a powerful and precise expression of the album’s themes.
\nCoronation of the Grotesque was recorded across multiple studios with key figures in the US death metal scene. Bass recording was engineered by John Tardy (Obituary) at Redneck Studios, guitars and vocals by Jordan Milner at Obsidian Audio, additional guitars by Taylor Nordberg (Deicide) at Smoke and Mirrors Productions, and drums by Noah Buchanan (Nunslaughter) at Mercinary Studios, where Buchanan also handled mixing and mastering.<\/p>\n
