Terrestrial Hospice are hitting the road across Poland following the release of “Omnicide - Chapter I”. The band led by Inferno and Skyggen will play shows in Gdynia, Poznań, Wrocław, Kraków and Warsaw early next year, with Totenmesse and Król Śmierć joining them at every stop.
At a time when many bands are stripping black metal of its sinister aura, Terrestrial Hospice stand as defenders of the genre’s traditions, rooted in blasphemy and an uncompromising attitude. It’s hardly surprising, given the seasoned musicians behind the project: Inferno (Behemoth, Azarath, Witchmaster) and Skyggen (Thunderbolt, Tortorum, formerly of Gorgoroth). Don’t expect atmospheric soundscapes or heart-tugging melodies from TH. Get ready for a merciless assault that will drag you through the dirt.
Totenmesse are one of the leading acts to emerge from the Polish scene over the past decade. The Kraków-based band features musicians from Gruzja, Odraza, Kult Mogił and Loathfinder, and have released two full-length albums to date: “To” (2018) and “Fiktionlust” (2023). Their newest album is set to arrive this winter via Malignant Voices.
The tour will open with Król Śmierć, a new band that describes its sound as “genocidal punk” - music for the worst of times. When you’re lying there sobbing, Król Śmierć kicks you in the stomach. When you try to run, they break your legs. And when you seek shelter, they drag you out of the filthiest hole they can find. A nuclear disaster soundtracked by d-beat.
