Today, death metal act Vomit Forth unveil the hair-raising track “Negative Penance” with a horrifying video. It’s the third single shared from their upcoming album, Terrified Of God, set for release October 11th through Century Media Records. In the deep winter of early 2024, the band headed into a cabin in the woods of New Jersey with Randy Leboeuf who recorded, mixed, mastered and produced the album. The month-long recording process led to twelve panic-stricken tracks where every riff, drum fill, and lyric leaves a footprint.

“Negative Penance” serves as one of the most brutal moments on Terrified Of God marked by frenzied guitars and intense drum work. Vocalist Kane Gelaznik displays his ability to easily shift between throaty vocals, curdling squeals, and a more direct delivery. The video for the song comes with a viewer discretion warning, as tape footage of a bizarre ritualistic murder materializes. You can watch it HERE and stream “Negative Penance” HERE.

On the track, Kane shares:

“Negative Penance is about our inability to hold ourselves accountable.  We can’t wash the proverbial “blood” off our hands no matter how hard we try.   We are now in this current age so obsessed with ourselves, and that obsession is just validated because we can all be our own favorite celebrity, that we can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what makes us feel good.  Do we want to fix our problems? Or do we want to keep them  going so we can constantly broadcast how righteous we are in acknowledging them?”

Formed in 2017, Vomit Forth set out to champion their influences from Internal Bleeding and Suffocation to Deicide, while eschewing the overall genre expectations of death metal at the time. Vomit Forth broke out in 2018 with their demo, then teamed up with Maggot Stomp who packaged the offering plus two additional songs into the band’s debut LP, Northeastern Deprivation. The band followed it in 2022, joining their current label home Century Media Records to release their sophomore album Seething Malevolence. The lauded record demonstrated the band’s dedication to a truly terrifying and singular brand of death metal.

A willingness to explore and incorporate influences from across a wide sonic landscape has always set Vomit Forth apart from their metal peers, and Terrified Of God is here to solidify the band as a mainstay act in the metal community. The band’s live show is just as punishing as the record, and with an upcoming tour supporting The Black Dahlia Murder and Dying Fetus, more audiences will witness Vomit Forth’s violent attack.

Terrified Of God is available for preorder HERE.

Vomit Forth is Kane (vocals), Jett (bass), Bailey (guitar) and Luke (drums)
