VIOGRESSION Share New Single, “Superposition”

U.S. Death Metal veterans, Viogression, have released “Superposition,” the second single from forthcoming album, Thaumaturgic VeilStream it at this location.

Thaumaturgic Veil is a metaphysical sonic construct, weaving intricate threads of human consciousness, vibrational frequency, and esoteric intent into a tapestry that transcends the boundaries of death metal. This work explores the interplay of awareness, magic, and the latent potential encoded within humanity’s neurocognitive framework.

Thaumaturgic Veil explores the interplay of consciousness, subconsciousness, and materiality, viewing existence as a binary system shaped by vibrational frequencies—the core medium molded by individual intent. These measurable waves connect the chaos of infinite potential to the order of the observable universe, reflecting ancient alchemy’s transformation of matter and awareness, akin to esoteric traditions and Thelema’s Great Work, uniting boundless Nuit and focused Hadit. Meditation and altered mental states enhance this, using frequencies to push perception and align with higher realities, as Crowley’s magick—change through intent—shapes the album’s structure.

The opening track (“Enûma Elish Ilū”) introduces infinity as a recurring theme, its modal tones evoking Nuit’s expanse and microtonal shifts hinting at Hadit’s precision, tying into the album’s finite-eternal tension. Building on 2022’s 3rd Stage of Decay, this work intensifies with complex compositions: a primordial voice, heavy, growling guitars and bass conjure raw potential; relentless drums blast and propel it forward, while melodic leads and overtones pierce the dissonance, balancing distortion and clarity. Guttural yet ethereal, its sound design engages the auditory cortex, heightening awareness to match the album’s vision.

For enthusiasts of old-school death metal, Viogression delivers a raw, unrelenting sound steeped in the genre’s early ‘90s roots. Reviewers frequently liken their sludgy, thuggish heaviness to Obituary, noting a shared penchant for trudging, dissonant riffs, though Viogression infuses a Midwestern grit distinct from Florida’s swampy polish. Their technical ferocity and morbid atmospheres draw parallels to Death’s foundational aggression and Pestilence’s chaotic edge, as seen in comments praising their thrash-leaning debut Expound & Exhort. Fans of Morbid Saint’s cult intensity and Autopsy’s doom-drenched decay will find kinship in Viogression’s ability to meld intricate brutality with a haunting, unrefined vibe. Echoes of Possessed’s primal fury and Morbid Angel’s raw power further cement their appeal, making them a hidden gem for devotees of death metal’s formative, unpolished era.

 Diego Gedoz de Souza is responsible for the artwork. Make sure to check out him out on Facebook and Instagram.

Viogression will self-release Thaumaturgic Veil on July 11.

BIO:

Formed in 1988, Viogression swiftly forged a formidable presence in the metal underground with three searing demos, paving the way for their critically lauded debut, Expound & Exhort (1990). This landmark release launched them onto a world tour, igniting stages alongside Death and Pestilence. Their second album, Passage (1994), released incomplete, led to a nine-year hiatus. Reborn in 2003, Viogression unleashed fresh material, culminating in the 2014 EP, A Pure Formality, which sparked the band’s comeback with electrifying festival performances. Defying 2020’s global turmoil, they delivered 3rd Stage of Decay, released worldwide in 2022 through Satanath Records and Moribund Records. Now, Viogression stands on the brink of their fourth album, Thaumaturgic Veil, set for Summer 2025, poised to unleash a cataclysmic new chapter in their storied legacy.
