Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Finnish Kuopio-based death metal band Licuation unveils an exceptionally intense double single, with the tracks 213 and Stigmatized showcasing the band’s most brutal and ambitious side to date. 213 is a relentless and straightforward death metal strike, blending rapid-fire riffing, pounding double-kick patterns, and sewer-rat-like guttural vocals. Lyrically, the track plunges into the horrifying world of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and his infamous “death room,” from which no one ever returned. The song’s physical, aggressive energy mirrors the human darkness at the core of Dahmer’s story.

Stigmatized, on the other hand, delivers a longer and more epic composition that fuses direct riffing with groove elements and layered rhythmic variations. The track features a bass solo, tight guitar tapping, and deliberate rhythmic intricacies that highlight the band’s technical skill and compositional ambition. Lyrically, Stigmatized explores dangerous cults and the twisted internal logic that pulls people into their orbit. The song constructs a closed, oppressive world where personal freedom is consumed by the deranged rules of the collective. 

Together, the two tracks demonstrate Licuation’s ability to combine raw aggression, technical proficiency, and storytelling in a way that stands out within the Finnish metal landscape. 213 represents the band at its most explosive and direct, while Stigmatized expands their sound into longer and heavier territories. Through these two songs, Licuation proves capable of both crushing intensity and nuanced atmosphere-building.

The result is dark, menacing, and musically tight — exactly what modern death metal demands. This double single stands as a strong testament to Licuation’s readiness to ascend to the next level. Both 213 and Stigmatized reflect the band’s evolution toward an even bolder and heavier sonic identity.

The band comments tracks:

” “213” is a straightforward and merciless track that blends rapid-fire riffing, pounding double-kick patterns, and sewer-rat-like guttural vocals. Lyrically, it delves into the twisted world of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Plunging straight into his infamous “death room,” from which there is no return.  

“Stigmatized” is a long, epic death metal track that blends straightforward riffing with heavy groove elements. The song features intricate rhythmic twists, a bass solo, and tight guitar tapping. Lyrically, it explores dangerous cults that pull people into their orbit — closed worlds ruled by their own disturbed internal logic.”
