Benediction have been steadfast representers of old school death metal since 1989 and reached a new height of success with 2020's "Scriptures". In 2025, the quintet drops the merciless and even stronger follow-up "Ravage Of Empires" supported on tour with Jungle Rot and Master on time with album release! With tremolo riffs and hammering grooves in spades, tracks like 'Engines of War', 'Genesis Chamber', 'Crawling over Corpses', 'In the Dread of the Night', and 'Psychosister' show a remarkable consistency and Scott Atkins, who produced the record at Grindstone Studio once again, ensures with a crisp and massive sound that the aforementioned impact leaves no bone unshattered. Garnered with artwork by Wolven Claws Artist, 'Ravage of Empires' continues Benediction's flawless discography on Premier League level and promises to become one of 2025's undisputable old school death metal highlights!

After more than 30 years in the business and 12 years after their last album "Killing Music", BENEDICTION are now back with one of their best releases and play once again in the Death Metal Champions League.The new album "Scriptures" sounds 100% like BENEDICTION: they blend death metal with a "fuck-off punk rock attitude", heavy metal riffing and a groove that hardly any other band can perform like this. Dave Ingram's "signature-growls" and powerful lyrics enhance the tonal framework so that you can hear after a few notes that you are listening to BENEDICTION. As usual the tracks vary from slow and heavy to fast and intense, from shorter "in your face" numbers to epic masterpieces.
