Read on for some early reviews of Vitriolic Baptism from media worldwide:

“All the elements we want from a slammingly brutal death metal record are here: mid-tempo rhythms, breakdowns and plenty of palm-muted riffing, all delivered with a snarling, sneering vocal and inspired by Suffocation, Internal Bleeding et al, but giving the genre a new spin.” – The Razors Edge

“Embryectomy dish out the damage with a rusty cleaver in each hand and a big grin on their face. Highly recommended.” – Wonderbox Metal

“Aural abuse that any fan of slamming death should enjoy. Embryectomy are one of the best to do it.” – Grave Noise

“‘Vitriolic Baptism’ is full of punishing slams and massive chugs, all set to the soundtrack of gurgling and bellows that the genre does well. Solidly built from the ground up, and well worth a listen if you are a fan of this type of material.” – Dead Rhetoric

Embryectomy is a brutal slamming death metal band formed in 2013 in Athens, Greece. In addition to three full-lengths – Gluttonous Mastication of Embryonic Remnants (2016), Flamethrower Ecdysis (2020), Vitriolic Baptism (2026) – they’ve also released a series of demos, singles, and splits alongside acts like Traumatomy, Cerebral Paralysis, Psychosomatic Self-Mutilation and Nephrectomy. Known for their crushing heaviness and guttural vocals, the trio has built a dedicated following in the underground metal scene. As The Razors Edge writes, “it’s slow and slamming and seemingly exactly how the pit wants them to be… heavy, chugging riffs and monstrous breakdowns.”

With their Unique Leader Records debut – Vitriolic Baptism – Embryectomy give fans an album that’s been 6 years in the making: 9 tracks of their signature beatdown guttural slam that only they can deliver.

Embryectomy comments: “Unique Leader has provided us with a top-tier platform, that combines quality with musical malady, upon which we managed to spawn what can possibly be our heaviest release to date. We have christened (pun intended) this release ‘Vitriolic Baptism’. Once again, Embry Kyle has risen from his ancient slumber to terrorize everyone in his path.”
