From the cold dank fog of Portland, Oregon USA re-emerges Petrification with their highly anticipated sophomore album nearly 5 years in the making titled “Sever Sacred Light”! Conjuring all the dark powers of DEATH, DOOM, PUNK and THE OCCULT, Petrification brings their most barbaric, heavy, and yet sophisticated release to date. This new full-length opus is out now on Svart Records, and you can listen to it right now, right HERE.
-“We at Petrification are incredibly blown away and humbles by the response of “Sever Sacred Light”. We give our most sincere appreciation to Svart Records and to our fans from all over the world for your continued support. After many years of searching for the right recording engineer we couldn’t be happier with the job that Billy Anderson did. He perfectly captured our sound and energy on this album, and we truly believe this is our absolutely best offering”, the band says.
“Sever Sacred Light” paints a mental landscape of a crumbling universe magnified through the hysterical mind of a deranged and rottenly eccentric undead enigma “Arach-Ned”. “Sever Sacred Light” illustrates vast musical growth from the critically acclaimed 2017 demo “Summon Horrendous Destruction” and the 2018 full length debut of “Hollow of the Void”. They continue to advance and evolve while honoring the traditions and influence of ungodly masters of Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Coffins, and all the celebrated favorites of the early 90’s Finnish death metal scene such as Rippikoulu and Demigod. With Petrification’s top tier sonic depravity this album is promised to be looked back at as the measuring stick of what an old school death metal album of this era should be.

“It sounds sick!! Very old school plus the production has that analog sound to it as well. Petrification really captured the late 80´s kind of vibe.” Alex Bouks – Immolation
“Perfect from start to finish” Olli V – Rippikoulu
