Out 18th April via Hammerheart Records
Hammerheart Records has announced the reissue of death metal stalwarts Father Befouled‘s Morbid Destitution of Covenant (2010), set for release on 18th April, 2025.
Morbid Destitution of Covenant is a standout in their discography. It fully embraces the Incantation-style of bleak, reverb-drenched death metal, featuring dense, churning guitar work, deep guttural vocals, and a funereal atmosphere.
The album solidified Father Befouled’s reputation as torchbearers of the grim, oppressive side of death metal and has been praised for its commitment to the unholy, old-school aesthetic. The vinyl edition of the album sold out long ago, making it a sought-after collector’s item for underground death metal fans.

Dark and unrelenting, Father Befouled strike at the heart of false piety with Morbid Destitution of Covenant. Blending Incantation inspired blasphemy with crushing brutality, this release is a testament to pure, unholy death metal.”
Fifteen years later, Morbid Destitution of Covenant remains just as crushing as the day it was released. A towering pillar of cavernous death metal, this album solidified Father Befouled as true heirs to the Incantation-drenched legacy of darkness and decay.
With raw yet deliberate riffs, a funeral-paced atmosphere, and an all-encompassing sense of rot, it continues to suffocate in the best way possible. The vinyl edition has long been sold out.
