DETEST returns stronger than ever with their new single and lyric video release F.Y.M.M.F., a brutal and vicious Death Metal assault, just the way the genre is meant to sound. This new single album marks a new era for the band, with a soon-to-be-announced new album, a renewed lineup and a newfound sense of purpose and determination, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to find all in the extreme metal landscape.
Detest has returned stronger than ever with their latest release A World Drowning in Detest, a relentless assault that pushes the boundaries of Death Metal. This album marks a new era for the band, as they channel raw aggression, seasoned craftsmanship, and a renewed love for their craft into every note. On this record, the Danes are marching forward with a newfound sense of purpose and determination, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to find all in the extreme metal landscape.
Guitarist John Petersen, the band’s founder, sums up their mindset: “On We Will Get What We Deserve, I tried to limit myself, but this time, I’ve done the opposite—no limits”. With that ethos, A World Drowning in Detest features some of the most intense and complex material in the band’s discography, blending brutal riffs, blistering solos, and crushing grooves with a technical precision that hits harder than ever. The addition of two new members has, indeed, taken the collective sound to unparalleled heights. Jesper Mathiesen return on drums has revitalized the band’s rhythms, infusing each track with powerful, high-octane energy. His drumming brings a sense of life and urgency to the music that is palpable, driving the songs forward with brutal efficiency. Anders L. Nissen, on guitar, has also brought a new dimension to Detest’s sound. “Anders has lifted the guitar work to a level I could never have imagined” John explains. “His
technical prowess and creative input have enriched the band’s sound with complex layers and crushing power. Together, Jesper and Anders have given Detest a newfound strength, adding layers of depth and quality that elevate this album beyond anything we’ve done before”. Anders is, himself, very happy with the new material. “We sound like Detest and shouldn’t sound like anyone else, but people who love Death Letal shouldn’t fool themselves into diving into Detest and that Simon’s vocals reach new heights on the new
record”.
Unleashed creativity: free from creative limitations, John Petersen has poured everything into this record. The band’s compositions are more intricate, the guitar work more experimental, and the overall sound bolder and more expansive. Also, A World Drowning In Detest outpours dynamic, energetic performances; The interplay between Jesper’s drumming and Anders’ guitar work creates a musical landscape that is both raw and refined, making every track a ferocious yet tight execution of Death Metal mastery. While the new Detest effort carries the brutal, uncompromising sound fans expect, it also introduces fresh elements that push the boundaries of the genre. It’s an evolution for the band that will appeal to both long-time followers and new listeners alike. Truly, old-school meets new blood. Detest is not just back—they’re ready to conquer and they’re a battle-ready band. As they prepare to unleash A World Drowning in Detest, they do so with a sharpened edge and the drive to fight with everything they’ve got. This album is a battle cry for a band that has found new life and strength, ready to take on the world.
A World Drowning In Detest will be released on LP (black vinyl limited to 300), CD and digital on December 6th, 2024 via Emanzipation Productions.
