Testimony Records are proud to announce that Dutch death metal veterans ANTROPOMORPHIA have signed a multi-album deal with the label. Welcome to our choice roster! ANTROPOMORPHIA will release their sixth full-length via Testimony Records in 2025.
ANTROPOMORPHIA comment: “We stand at the gates of a new dawn”, guitarist and vocalist Ferry Damen writes. “With venomous energy and fanatical determination, we enter this new chapter of AntropomorphiA. Partnering with Testimony Records, we are set to unleash our dark creativity upon this decaying world, ready to devour flesh and souls.”
Testimony Records state: “We’re thrilled to announce the signing of AntropomorphiA”, label manager Thomas Strater enthuses. “This band has been a driving force of the Dutch death metal scene for the past 35 years and especially over the last decade where they refined their sound to the hybrid monster that it is today. Their unique creation of uncompromising blackened death metal will drag you to hell once it gets a hold of you!”
ANTROPOMPORHIA were spawned from the foul stench of death in the Dutch city of Tilburg in 1990, which makes them a cornerstone of the brutal scene of the Netherlands.
After releasing their first official demo “Bowel Mutilation” (1992) the band immediately captured a record deal and recorded the EP “Necromantic Love Songs” (1993) only a few months later, which became a cult classic.
Despite the occasional hiatus, ANTROPOMPORHIA continuously cemented their status as underground icons with a string of acclaimed releases. The debut full-length “Pure” (1998) was followed by the albums “Evangelivm Nekromantia” (2012), “Rites ov Perversion “(2014), “Sermon ov Wrath” (2017), and “Merciless Savagery” (2019).
Their uncompromising vision and ever-expanding vortex of musical textures that included a growing influx of black metal elements into ANTROPOMPORHIA‘s musical and visual DNA, the Dutch have accepted invitations by the most relevant festivals and performed at Brutal Assault, In Flammen Open Air, Summer Breeze, Motocultor, Netherlands Deathfest, Roadburn Festival, and Eindhoven Metal Meeting among many more live events.
ANTROPOMPORHIA are preparing to release their upcoming sixth full-length via the label in 2025.
