HORRIFIC VISIONS - REMNANTS OF ATROPHY
LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC
RELEASE DATE: MAY 22nd 2026
Grey skies and black earth, a pallor of sickness hanging over a rotten world. The wasted remains of civilisation, of mankind's dreams and ambitions, lie mouldering beneath a cold sludge of ash and decay. New forms of warped, suppurating life squirm in entangled, mindless masses; nothing but pustulent worms driven by hunger, aggression and lust. Evolution has stumbled and fallen, never to rise again. The future is the present - this diseased sea of parasitic consumption and death…the repugnant remnants of life's atrophy.
Twelve years on from their initial spawning in Texas' ever-fertile breeding grounds of brutality, Horrific Visions are finally set to unleash their full-length debut album of shocking violence and colossal carnage. After two decimating EPs - Enlightenment Through Excruciating Torture (2022) and Monopoly On Violence (2024) - the time has come to stare into the dead eyes of Remnants Of Atrophy!
The album opens with the disorientating, spinning riffs of 'Malnutrition', inspiring visions of skin stretched across protruding bone to the point of tearing. Fired by depravation and desperation this track collapses into nerve-grating sounds, before reforming into a shape of pure evil; a huge riff of monstrous heaviness, inhuman vehemence and bone grinding malice. From this point there is no way back. Through the terrifying focus and precision of 'Deranged Perversion' to the aptly entitled and utterly barbaric 'Primal Regression', on to the reanimated, unhinged and unstoppable 'Enlightenment Through Excruciating Torture'…God alone knows what clarity of vision awaits anyone subjected to this process of torment and rabid dismemberment…with the final, deftly executed process of extermination being applied by the album's title track - 'Remnants Of Atrophy' - a sonic atrocity invoked by hellish vocals, a rhythm section as tight as a torniquet and guitars conjuring riffs like vengeful djinn. This debut album from Horrific Visions is a gift to the demented and the black of heart - one that has been well worth the wait.
Mixed and mastered by guitarist Mason Vickers at Rocker House Studios, Remnants Of Atrophy possesses a blistering intensity and a raw, serrated edge; it sounds like a deadly weapon, wielded with vicious intent. The final nightmarish touch has been applied by infamous artist John Zig (Aborted Fetus, Deeds Of Flesh, Defeated Sanity etc), enfolding this barrage of brutal death metal in a shroud of bleak, unnerving imagery. Remnants Of Atrophy will be released by Comatose Music on May 22nd…indiscriminate bloodshed and mass destruction await!
