Austrian death metal survivalists Cadaverous Condition have released the second single and lyric video off their upcoming album, Never Arrive, Never Return. Titled The Eternal Burial, the new single is available to stream now via all major platforms. The new album will come out on June 14th, via The Circle Music, on CD and LP formats.
About the new album
Never Arrive, Never Return marks a return to Cadaverous Condition‘s ferocious death metal roots. The album is a relentless assault on the senses. It features epic tracks like the opener They Came From The Hills, alongside haunting half-ballad All The Wrong Turns or From The Other Side. Brutal eruptions and groove-laden songs like The Plow are interwoven with the band’s signature cryptic lyrics, all delivered with crisp production.
Never Arrive, Never Return is the quintessential Cadaverous Condition experience. Indeed, a relentless journey with no peace or rest. The album’s artwork reflects this theme, depicting the ghosts (or inner demons) we encounter on our path through life’s complexities. In a nod to the band’s past, the album closes with To Be, a newly recorded version of a song written in 1992. Undoubtfully, a massive old-school death-doom march that leads the listener to a place of desolate solitude.
About the band
Formed in Austria during the early 90s, Cadaverous Condition carved a unique path in extreme metal. While their vocals remained rooted in death metal, they experimented with diverse influences. They covered artists like The Sisters of Mercy and collaborated with acts like Nurse With Wound and Thighpaulsandra. Also, with Tobias Nathaniel (The Black Heart Procession) and Herr Lounge Corps. They also did an art project with Bill Drummond (The KLF) involving a specially made CD… And sending a message in a bottle from the shores of Iceland. Despite these explorations, Cadaverous Condition never strayed from their core: extreme metal with a distinct and reflective style. They return in 2024 with Never Arrive, Never Return, a fitting title for a band known for their relentless sonic journey.
