Ireland’s Leadbelcher, purveyors of dissident death metal, have signed with Apocalyptic Witchcraft for the release of their debut album, Heaven’s Bloated Corpse…
Leadbelcher spill outwardly from Ireland’s many rotting wounds, bringing forth a stinking blend of scum-laced death metal, corroded by the grinding blast beats of old, mixed with bile-ridden d-beat passages. Featuring a fleshed-out line-up of members from Irish bands such as Sermon of Flames, Mortichnia and ex-Coscradh, the band formed in 2024 and subsequently set out to record their debut album Heaven’s Bloated Corpse in 2025 with JSR Audio in Belfast. Heaven’s Bloated Corpse is all the good things in the world turned rotten, the rejection of all religion, the people you love turned to shit, and the death of every landlord globally…
Speaking of their new alliance with the dark forces of Apocalyptic Witchcraft, the band have said…
“With prior ties to Apocalyptic Witchcraft, we already trusted the label and its vision – so we knew we could unleash something truly rancid, without any fear of compromise.”
Meanwhile Conor Droney, head of Apocalyptic Witchcraft comments…
“Leadbelcher sound like Ireland’s decay given physical form a suffocating collision of scum-soaked death metal, grinding blasts, and d-beat filth. Heaven’s Bloated Corpse is violent, rotten, and completely uncompromising.”
