SEASON OF THE DEAD unleash their brand-new single “Voodoo Ritual”, a blood-soaked preview of their upcoming debut album “Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1”, set for release on November 14th, 2025 via Time To Kill Records.
With “Voodoo Ritual”, the horror-obsessed death metal collective conjures the sinister spirit of classic Italian horror and the visceral ferocity of death metal. The song merges cinematic dread with primal riffs and ritualistic drumming, crafting a hallucinatory descent into a world where fear, flesh and faith intertwine.

The band comments:
“We wanted to pay tribute to a groovier style, drawing inspiration from Pantera. The figure of Phil Anselmo and his collaboration with Necrophagia as a songwriter and guitarist is of great importance to us. The voodoo referenced in the track is the one practiced by Marie Laveau, who lived in Louisiana in the 1800s and is still recognized today as a controversial and widely debated figure”.
SEASON OF THE DEAD is a visceral, cinematic extreme metal project born from the twisted minds of Titta Tani (former drummer of Necrophagia and Goblin), Giacomo Anselmi (former Goblin guitarist and current member of Goblin Legacy), and Enrico Giannone, founder and owner of Time To Kill Records, acting as producer and visionary behind the entire concept.
The idea is as brutal as it is clear: to resurrect the blood-soaked legacy of horror-infused death metal, channeling the rotten spirit of bands like Necrophagia, Mortician, and Fulci, while paying tribute to the grotesque imagery and raw energy of cult underground horror films. Influences range from Killjoy to City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and Cannibal Holocaust, creating a soundscape that feels like a soundtrack to a lost VHS splatter nightmare.
The project boasts an all-star lineup from the international extreme music scene:
John McEntee (Incantation) – Vocals
Fiore Stravino (Fulci) – Vocals
Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog) – Bass
Chuck Sherwood (Incantation) – Bass
Giacomo Anselmi (Goblin Legacy) – Guitars
Titta Tani (ex Goblin, ex Necrophagia) – Drums
