Cult death/black metal horde GRAVE DESECRATOR have reveal new details surrounding the release of their forthcoming album, ‘Dust to Lust’. ‘Dust to Lust’ features artwork from acclaimed artist Zbigniew Bielak (WATAIN, MAYHEM, GHOST, BEHEMOTH, and more) and will be released by Season of Mist worldwide on July 1. The track list can be found below, and pre-orders for the album are available at the official Season of Mist E-Shop.

GRAVE DESECRATOR are streaming the first new track off their new album. The track, titled “Temple of Abominations” is streaming now at No Clean Singing.

Regarding the new track, guitarist “El” Necrogoat comments:

“”Temple of Abominations” is a typical Grave Desecrator expression. Straight through the breast of religions and misconception of “god”, salvation, peace, and all the elements which provide the breeding of a corrupted and twisted conviction. Of course that´s nothing new to the universe of Black or Death Metal, but we, Brazilians, have been witnessing a period of intense evangelical wide-spreading throughout our country! So, that´s absolutely a fistful of rejection towards it, but this time also much more personal as we have been facing it right in front of our eyes!

He continues,

“There´s an intrinsic aura in “Dust to Lust”! It could bind the listener to our specific essence and components of our, sometimes, crude and cruel environment. There are no laws or truths! Lies, lust, drugs, satanism, darkness, vice, spirits, vanity, night, death, love, hate are the aliments regurgitated by this womb of chaos and perdition…And for us, it´s not a fancy allegory, but a bitter reality!

Regarding the artwork, Bielak comments:

“With all its contrasts, hostility, intolerance, corruption, Brazil has proven to be a time capsule for the mundane times of uniformity and facilitation, which nowadays render the western metal so tame and complacent. That being said, GRAVE DESECRATOR’s story is no different from the ones of SARCÓFAGO, SEPULTURA or even SLAYER in their tough formative ’80s. In rivers of rehearsal sweat and against all odds, album by album, they slowly polished their rough stone into a deadly blade. And now it is time to bleed. It is not easy to pinpoint the spirit of Brazilian extreme metal – it is a fine mixture of tanned sexuality and funerary sacrilege that only few could convey the way SARCÓFAGO or SEXTRASH did. These four derailed rovers of abomination and forbidden fun certainly can! It has been an honour to embark on this journey with them and for once illustrate a flawless 80’s album. I praise the old Brazilian scene and SARCÓFAGO’s ‘Rotting’ cover is among my favorite artworks of all time, so obviously the artwork for ‘Dust to Lust’ pays some homage here and there. The inner artwork is yet another tribute – to HR Giger, whose spirit strongly permeated the aesthetics 80’s metal, and about whose passing I learnt, while staying with the guys in Rio.”

Founded in 1998 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, GRAVE DESECRATOR have established a reputation as one of the most savage and brutal South American metal bands through the release of two full-length albums and several well-received splits (including much sought-after splits with ARCHGOAT and BLACK WITCHERY). Adhering to the extreme ways of their predecessors in Brazil, GRAVE DESECRATOR are true torch bearers of the underground, firmly placing themselves among the ranks of entities such as SARCOFAGO, early SEPULTURA, and MUTILATOR.
