  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Zombiecult Death Meta is back, the uncrowned kings of this profession entered the studio for the first time in 12 years! Mausoleum returned from beyond the grave …
    This material is the best they have ever spit out, and it can be calmly treated as a preview of a new full album (!).
    Pure cult and a bloody feast for Impetigo, Autopsy, and Mortician fans.

    Anatomia doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone, they are the “definition” of a death-doom …This material is even more disgusting, dirty, and musty than anything they’ve served so far. In less than 20 minutes, Takashi Tanaka takes us on a journey somewhere from a forgotten, foggy necropolis, deep into the damp and rotten corners of the crypt, where “something” terrifying lurks … Cult!

    The digital version of the Mausoleum side of the 2020 split with Anatomia!

    The horror of MAUSOLEUM has risen from the tomb once again with “Nyctophilia,” their unholy
    offering unto the twelve split inches of savage low-end cacophony with those morbid death-mongers from
    Japan, ANATOMIA. For this, the Pennsylvania doom-horde has conjured four hymns of its infamous
    “Zombiecult Death Metal”: “Voices from Beyond” (based on the 1991 film from that Italian Godfather of
    Gore, Lucio Fulci), “Shadows on the Grave,” “Shrieks of Fright,” and “The Dark Abysmal.” And now joining
    those undead iron tyrants from Johnstown, Pennsylvania – vocalist and guitarist Craig Stiles, guitarist
    Adam Kegg, and bassist Rob Yench – is underground veteran Chris “Warhead” Demydenko from the
    nuclear wasteland of New Jersey, whose infernal cruel hammering for the ancient black metal cult of
    ABAZAGORATH is notorious. And so with this new covenant thus founded, the hideous death squad of
    MAUSOLEUM has returned from the grave to spread its accursed down-tuned plague across this
    unsuspecting world once more. Adorned with macabre artwork from Mosaeye Art & Design,
    “.:Nyctophilia:.” is the first new loathsomeness from the zombie overlords in five years and serves as a
    grotesque stomach-churning appetizer for their third full-length atrocity, both to be unleashed through
    Behind the Mountain Records of Poland. And so abandon all hope … Worship before the altar of
    Zombiecult Death Metal!

1.
Slicing the night Through flickering light Freezing moon once fog consumes the day Constellations aligned Darkness enshrined Nocturnally through shadows on the grave Decomposing remnants of the slain Haunting screams suffering pain Brutal scenes of gruesome bloody death Conjurations are decreed Endless lacerations bleed Incantations spoke from homicidal breath Grinding flesh splintered bones Putrid stain on crimson stone Glimmering with ooze of the decay Desecrated damned deflowered Consecrated ground soured Rotting into shadows on the grave Midnight torches glare Twisted chants of prayer Black mass rites set forth Evil runs its course Beneath the pentagram Inverted crosses stand Rituals begin Unholiness and sin Praise of death and blasphemy Demonic forms of Baphomet Take the offer of this life Reap this soul of sacrifice
2.
The wealthy, Patriarch, lies dying He has collapsed suddenly, coughing up blood. His last word is to his stone-faced family is, "why?" The family, at odds over the estate Thrown into chaos by their greed. He leaves everything to his daughter The only one he trusted His spirit remains conscious after death and from his buried coffin, he communicates with her He succeeds by entering her dreams and proclaims Find who killed me so I may exact my vengeance. She must hurry for as his corpse rots away in the coffin, So does his power to communicate with her Her dreams give her the answer And his mother's eyes reveal all The sick depraved woman of no conscience Confesses with pride But is soon stricken with terror At the sight of her dead son's spirit Vengeance burning in his eyes She will leave her grandmother to fester in the house His vengeful spirit will be everywhere Haunting them to the grave

about

Mausoleum Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Out of the zombie-cursed hinterland of western Pennsylvania and born through their worship of the primordial Gods of Death Metal, savage and stripped-down death cults like DEATH, NECROPHAGIA, ENTOMBED, OBITUARY, and, of corpse, AUTOPSY. MAUSOLEUM exists simply to vomit forth hideous death-reeking sickness into the very face of the stale and sterile “technical death metal” drivel of today. ... more
