The band’s fourth full-length Death Siege was written during the first months of the pandemic, from March 2020 until May 2021, a dark period described by frontman Lorenzo Gulminelli as a…
“…long fucking long process but it was worth it. Until then, we were maybe missing a bit proper song structures and arrangements. In retrospect, Mass Grave is more grind-ish whereas the new is far more metal and riff-oriented. The songs are longer and have more things happening in them, the album is overall far more ambitious and more, well, musical.”
Death Siege was recorded in Italy between June and July 2021. Drums were track at Duna Studio. While guitars, bass, and vocals were recorded at SNK Studio.
