ENCOFFINATION: First Whiff Of New Opus Unearthed By Decibel Today

The anticipated sophomore full-length from death/doom duo ENCOFFINATION, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres, nears North American release on November 15th. Today the deviants at Decibel Magazine are helping spread the filth via the public's first experience with the opus, with a premiere of the second track from the forthcoming album.

Take one final breath of fresh air before succumbing to the putrid, suffocating darkness of "Rites of Ceremonial Embalm'ment" RIGHT HERE.

Picking up where they left off with their praised 2010 full-length debut, Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh, the new book of hymns, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres, redefines and magnifiesENCOFFINATION's signature low-end funeral doom wrapped in the pure stench of death. Based on Ghoat's own experiences of working in the funeral industry, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres is a concept album... not in the linear sense, but abstract; from the death of the human form to the sacrifice of flesh into the Earth. Each members' tracks were recorded in their individual home states this Summer -- the drums in Cooper, Texas (ElektroSound) and the guitars, bass and drums in Atlanta, Georgia (Graf Yairden). Each track was recorded in the total solitude of the individual members; another excursion into the abyss of death, invoking total incarnation of funereal reality.

From these combined sessions crawls forth the depraved, suffocating, and incredibly eerie forty-minute O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres, and album that will slam the coffin lid on the 2011 calendar year as one of the most crushing releases of the year, in pure ENCOFFINATIONfashion. The album's visual theme utilizes "Finis Gloriae Mundi," a 17th century painting by Juan De Valdes Leal, and the layout handled by directly by Ghoat. Check out the cover art here.

ENCOFFINATION To Unleash Second Full-Length Via Selfmadegod Records This Summer

The tombs are closed and the coffins are lowered. The sun bleaches the gravestones and the flowers wither. The sun settles and the darkness rises. The stench of death still lingers and the presence of doom is inimitable. The ritual preparation of the dead is complete. ENCOFFINATION arises from the crypts to worship this ritual of death.

Returning after last year's suffocating debut album Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh,ENCOFFINATION is about to strike back with their new opus to death. O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres is the definition of lurching, oppressive, sickening "funeral doom of death metal." Picking up where they left off with the previous album, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres will define ENCOFFINATION's signature sound; suffocating doom wrapped in the pure stench of death. The album will include up to ten new songs of abysmal, funeral-bound death metal, recorded in Cooper, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia between January and May 2011.

Guitarist/vocalist Ghoat (Father Befouled, Vomitchapel) says of the new album: "Expect pure darkness. Take everything we have done before and turn it up. More death, more gloom, more decay. Guitars will crush, vocals will possess, and the atmosphere of ENCOFFINATION will strangle you. We are adding more texture in the riffs, more things to take you by the throat and steal your breath."

Based on Ghoat's own experiences of working in the funeral industry, O' Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres will be a concept... not in the linear sense, but abstract; from the death of the human form to the sacrifice of flesh into the Earth. The album will be released via Poland's Selfmadegod Records later this Summer. More info and an official release date will be announced in the coming weeks.
