After six years of silence, ANTROPOMORPHIA are back with their most brutal and oppressive work to date. Following the 2019 release of “Merciless Savagery”, the Dutch death metal cult returns with “Devoid of Light”, an album that embodies sheer aggression, nihilism, and unfiltered darkness.
Crafted over the span of two and a half years, “Devoid of Light” is a sonic descent into despair and fury, where blistering intensity meets harrowing atmospheres. ANTROPOMORPHIA’s vision remains unwavering—melding their signature ferocity with grim lyrical themes and suffocating soundscapes, all while expanding their blackened edge.
Formed in 1990 in Tilburg, ANTROPOMORPHIA were among the early pioneers of the Dutch death metal underground. Their relentless approach and refusal to compromise have earned them a revered status over the decades, cemented by a series of acclaimed releases. As their music has evolved, the band has woven black metal’s sinister elements deeper into their sound, creating an even darker and more menacing presence.
With “Devoid of Light”, ANTROPOMORPHIA prove they are far from finished. This is a statement of raw power, unrelenting darkness, and death metal at its most uncompromising. Crank the volume, and let this beast consume you!
