STAGES OF DECOMPOSITION Release Brutal, Horrific New Single âWhat Lies Withinâ
New Album âRaptures of Psychopathyâ Out Feb 2024 From Gore House Productions
Since the band’s inception, Stages of Decomposition, led by former guitarist Richard Villanueva, has become a formidable force in the extreme music scene. From gracing stages at renowned festivals like Bay Area Death Fest, Bogota Grind Death Fest, and SLAM FEST, to a coast-to-coast U.S. tour in under 10 days, the band has left an indelible mark on the global Death Grind circuit. Their second album âRaptures of Psychopathyâ threatens to burrow into your brain like a death metal worm and liquefy it with brutal riffs, chaotic blast beats and adrenaline-invoking time signatures that convey the terror and psychological aspects of the stories told. The next single âWhat Lies Withinâ is not for the faint of heart, as the band explains:
âWhat Lies Within is a song about someone struggling with inner hate for humans where they donât hold anything back to demoralize them and degrade them in such a way that he gains absolute control and advantage over them. In a way, this really digs into the album name of Raptures of Psychopathy. This song offers a glimpse into a mind harrowed by demons and the need for power/control through forced sex.“

“On their new album Raptures of Psychopathy, Stages of Decomposition lean into the most violent and punishing aspects of their sound, and we have a prime example in the new album track weâre presenting today, along with a blood-spraying video… The songâs name is âSkid Row Slasherâ. Itâs based on true stories of serial killers, both of whom preyed on the homeless population of L.A…. The music is itself undeniably, and viciously, psychotic. The riffing is fast and frenzied, corrosive and cutting, and utterly crazed. The drums clatter at high speed, like automatic weaponry with a groove. The bass slugs like a heavyweight high on adrenaline. Equally rabid, the vocals expel raw guttural roars, crazed screams, and strangled gagging and gurgling excretions. Itâs all macabre, and itâs all viscerally electrifying. But the band also make room for pulverizing slams capable of splitting concrete. Itâs a kick to watch the band cut loose in the video, too, and of course there will be bloodâ¦.” – No Clean Singing
“This is pure bang your head âtill it pulps music. From growling guitars to smash the kit into pieces drumming, then snarling vocals, and a horror tinge (as weâll see). Itâs only right that theyâre signed to Gorehouse Productions… Stages of Decomposition are tight, they can be felt as well as heard. The album (Piles of Rotting Flesh) is consistent with no weak moments. You will bleed, this will hurt. For proof check the official video below.” – Severed-Cinema
“Itâs a brutal assault on your ears in the same style as bands like Cannibal Corpse.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (EP – Crawl Space Burial)
