Ophidian Memory Unleashes New Melodic Death Album âCarrion Lordâ
Melodic death metal project Ophidian Memory, the brainchild of Blake Lamoureux, is set to release its latest album âCarrion Lordâ on September 27th, 2024. Ophidian Memory, hailing from Des Moines, USA, is known for its innovative approach to metal, using melodic death metal as a foundation to incorporate elements of black metal, thrash, progressive metal, and metalcore. âCarrion Lord” continues this tradition, offering a heavier and more unrelenting sound compared to its predecessor âOur Shattered Gardenâ. Lamoureux comments:
âCarrion Lord is the most ambitious and brutal Ophidian Memory release to date. The lyrics portray themes of deception, sacrifice, undreamt horror, and war. Musically the death and black metal notches have been turned all the way up, while the progressive notch has been turned down greatly until late in the album, giving a reprieve to the listener for a slight moment until the record ultimately closes with a ripping epic finishing track.â
The album is best experienced as a front-to-back listening journey, with each track offering a unique blend of subgenres that keeps the listener engaged throughout. Lyrically, âCarrion Lordâ delves deeper into the fictional universe of âExistenceâ, a dark fantasy epic created by Lamoureux that has become the cornerstone of Ophidian Memory‘s conceptual approach.
On this album, Ophidian Memory has moved away from the progressive metal feel, choosing to take on a darker and heavier tone which reflects the brutal narrative this time around. Expect lots of unhinged vocals, riffs for days, and oppressive drums. For those who love extreme metal of all decades, in the vein of The Black Dahlia Murder, Behemoth, and Blood Red Throne, this one’s for you.
