Exitus Stratagem Records announces their signing of Hungarian extreme metal masters SIN OF GOD for their fourth studio album Blood Bound; out February 2025. Following their album Aenigmata released in 2016, Blood Bound has come a long way from its writing inception in 2019, and unfortunate setbacks with lineup changes and COVID to finally make its way to the studio in 2022/23 with the mixing and mastering done by the super-talented Sam Winslow in 2024. With influences in thrash, ODM, and blackened and progressive death metal, Sin of God’s next sacrificial offering will please both old and new-school death metal fans at the same time. This new full-length presents a collection of variations that exhibit brutality and softness. It is something fans have heard in the past from the band but it has never sounded like this. “We all think fans will love it. It’s somewhat different from its predecessors. It’s more complex and based on modern death metal. We built Blood Bound musically on contrasts. There are amazingly fast parts (260 BPM,) but really slow parts as well” adds guitarist Tamás Kis.
Exploring our present society, Blood Bound resonates with everything surrounding us, from the good and the bad to the beautiful and ugly, to life and death. “We are in decline and we haven’t got much time before we hit the bottom. There is less and less beauty in our present world. We are rapidly marching towards the rotting chaos. People do nothing about it. They destroy but do not build. So let it be! As you look at our album artwork, it is metaphorically based on humanity’s current state in the light of human history. We wanted it to be realized in the style of Renaissance paintings therefore the contrast is extremely sharp between beauty and ugliness. Pure and evil. Perfect and deformed. There are also religious references, and Biblical characters.” says Kis.
Blood Bound is not a concept album, but it is united by the pain and rage that boils inside and felt over seven tracks that are simple and raw, yet ferocious and gentle. To give fans their first experience with the album, Sin of God is unveiling the first single No Return accompanied by an animated video. The song is about a person who cannot get rid of drugs and sacrifices everything is going to hell.
