“Death metal thoroughbreds keep the infernal flames burning.”
(Metal Hammer, UK)

“Festering, ugly, toxic, rotten death metal with no frills from start to finish.”
(Deaf Forever, DE)

“Real deal death metal, executed by masters of the craft: “Survival of the Sickest” is horribly good.”
(Blabbermouth, US)

“Cut them open and they bleed pure death metal – and there’s more than enough in “Survival Of The Sickest” to fill the whole bath”
(Distorted Sound, UK)

Just two weeks after dropping their acclaimed sixth full-length album, Survival Of The Sickest”,  death metal beasts BLOODBATH massively hail towards the annihilating spirit of old-school death metal with a new music video for thrillingly violent “Putrefying Corpse”. This vicious onslaught is driven by explosive death, thrash and black metal and features a roaring contribution by Barney Greenway (Napalm Death), proving the critically-acclaimed, cult-followed band has no limitations, leaving the scene in shreds.

With Survival Of The Sickest” the legendary wicked force featuring current and former members of Paradise LostOpethKatatonia and Lik marks an evil comeback, presenting death metal at its ugly best: vicious, unrelenting and irrevocably sworn to the black!

Nick Holmes on “Putrefying Corpse”:
“The process of human life with a soul and humility, to eventual death, as nothing but rotting meat for vermin.”

Formed by Jonas Renkse and Anders Nyström (both of KATATONIA), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) and Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity) in 1998, BLOODBATH devoted themselves to resurrecting the increasingly forgotten art of pure death metal. In 2014, they unveiled a new frontman – legendary Paradise Lost vocalist Nick Holmes, now redubbed Old Nick – and yet another macabre musical evolution. With a line-up of Renkse, Nyström, Per ‘Sodomizer’ Eriksson, Martin ‘Axe’ Axenrot and Holmes, the only way to go was grim. Fueled by new guitarist Tomas ‘Plytet’ Åkvik (Lik), BLOODBATH’s latest and greatest album and Napalm Records debut, “Survival Of The Sickest”, gleefully confronts the slavering ghoul lurking in the shadows, and treats him to songs of ripping death metal frenzy. Alongside BLOODBATH’s official alumni, “Survival Of The Sickest” boasts a smattering of irresistible cameos from the great, good and ghoulish of the metal underground, including Barney Greenway (Napalm Death), Luc Lemay (Gorguts) and Marc Grewe (Morgoth).

BLOODBATH add:
“If there was a declaration of goods attached to this album, it would say Florida death metal exported from Sweden.”

The world is in flames, and “Survival Of The Sickest” – produced by BLOODBATH and co-produced and mixed by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios – offers no respite from the horrors of reality. From the thuggish brain-smash of opener “Zombie Inferno” to the bleak, obsidian ooze of closer “No God Before Me”, “Survival Of The Sickest” is the sound of a great band in blistering form. In contrast with The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn, which borrowed heavily from the blackened end of the death metal world, the new BLOODBATH goes straight for the jugular in true old school fashion. With strong echoes of everything from Morbid Angel and Death to Deicide and Obituary, songs like the disgustingly slow and heavy “Dead Parade” or the deliciously twisted “Tales Of Melting Flesh” breathe fresh fire into an arcane, perpetually rotting formula.
