The Antarctic winds howl, carrying echoes of madness – PUTERAEON returns with “The Land Of Cold Eternal Winter”, the second single and video from their upcoming album “Mountains of Madness”. This is Swedish death metal at its most crushing, an epic collision of Bolt Thrower’s relentless weight, Behemoth’s towering ferocity, and Dismember’s razor-sharp intensity.

Drenched in frostbitten horror, the track channels the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft, dragging listeners deep into the unforgiving wastelands of his work “At the Mountains of Madness”. With riffs as glacial as the abyss and an atmosphere thick with impending doom, “The Land Of Cold Eternal Winter” is a merciless descent into the unknown.

Brace yourself for the cold. The madness begins.

Join the premiering here:

Puteraeon returns in 2025 with their fifth full-length album, “Mountains Of Madness”, a relentless dive into the depths of Swedish old-school death metal. Since their formation in 2008, the band – featuring members from Taetre, Reclusion, and Nominon – has consistently refined its sound, pushing further into Lovecraftian horror with each release.

This new album is a natural progression from 2020’s “The Cthulhian Pulse”, both musically and thematically. Closely following the narrative of H.P. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”, the record captures the overwhelming terror and cosmic dread of the novella through unrelenting riffs, crushing heaviness, and an atmosphere of pure, otherworldly horror.

Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö, the album has already left a lasting impression. Swanö himself had this to say: “I have had the pleasure to work with Puteraeon since 2017 and their releases have always been solid, but the quality of this new album completely took me by surprise. It is just so damn good it’s hard to fathom! It’s like they thought about every little detail on how to make the album brutal as hell, yet memorable and extremely epic. I dare to say this one will go down in the history books as one of the best Swe-Death releases ever”.

With “Mountains of Madness”, Puteraeon invites listeners to step beyond the threshold of sanity and into the desolate, frozen abyss of Lovecraft’s vision. This is Swedish death metal at its most intense, atmospheric, and unforgiving.

Enter the white Aeon-dead world of the furthest south!

“Mountains Of Madness” will be released on LP (black vinyl and white vinyl, both limited to 200 copies), jewelcase CD and digital on 30.05.2025, via Emanzipation Productions.

Initially written for PUTERAEON’s second demo, back in 2008, “Graverobber” is a sick dive into the mind of a graverobber. And is still a vital and twisted death metal tune; a real bonecrusher. Out this week as a digital single and a sick, fitting official video.

Now celebrating their 15th anniversary as a band, Swedish horror death metal stalwarts PUTERAEON don’t show any signs of slowing down or exploring new musical paths. Instead, they remain firmly in their bonecrushing Lovecraft-inspired death metal approach. 

Join the “Graverobber” premiering here:

Coherent with this vision, the quartet looked back at their demos and debut album and re-recorded some of their old songs for this digital EP that celebrates a decade and a half of Chtulhian terror music, with the sound being mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö of Bloodbath and Edge Of Sanity fame. Five songs were chosen, from the first one Puteraeon ever written (“The Plague”, from their 2008 demo “Fascination For Mutilation” demo), until “Storm Over Devil’s Reef”, the opening track from the band’s 2011 debut album, with its rumbling intro and blasting velocity. “Whispers Of The Dead”, “Graverobber” (both from the second demo “The Requiem, released back in 2008), as well as “Dead Once More” (from the Re-Animator-inspired 2009 demo “The Extraordinary Work Of Herbert West”) complete “Quindecennial Horror”, with Puteraeon staring firmly at the abyss, while the abyss stares back at them.

“Quindecennial Horror” will be released in digital format via Emanzipation Productions on March 8th, 2024. 

Lineup:
