Skål! German death metal militants SCALPTURE unleash the new video clip ‘Schwedentrunk’ in the wake of the release of their new full-length Landkrieg (‘Land Warfare’), which hit the world hard on March 7, 2025.

The title ‘Schwedentrunk’ (‘Swedish Drink’) refers to a torture method, which was allegedly used at first by the troops of Gustav II Adolph, King of Sweden but got quickly adopted by all marauding troops ravaging the German lands during the 30 Years’ War (1618-1648). It was executed by forcing liquid manure and sewage down the throats of its victims.

The video clip was partially shot during SCALPTURE’s release show at Rare Guitar in Münster, Germany on March 7, and on the subsequent tour with CARNAL TOMB.

SCALPTURE comment: “The track ‘Schwedentrunk’ has quickly grown into a favourite both of the band as well as during our shows since Landkrieg was released in March”, guitarist Felix Marbach writes. “Much of the footage was shot at our release show and also during the tour with Carnal Tomb. The live video captures the raw ferocity on stage, but it is also a reminder of the intense time that we were able to share with so many of you. With some summer festivals on the horizon, we are going to pick up right there, where we left off.”

Berlin based CARNAL TOMB detonate the massive title track of their forthcoming new album Embalmed in Decay into the death metal hungry ears on this planet. The third full-length of the German old school death dealers is slated for release on November 3, 2023.

CARNAL TOMB comment: “I wrote the title track of our new album, Embalmed in Decay, shortly after our first album Rotten Remains was released", guitarist and singer Cryptic Tormentor lets on and continues; "It is a classic death metal song in the sense that it was heavily inspired by old bands that we all know and love. The track comes with fast and furious heavy riffing and a catchy melody in the chorus. The lyrics were inspired by the movie Tombs of the Blind Dead, which was also the main influence for the cover artwork. It took us some time to decide which track should become the title of the new album. We finally settled for ‘Embalmed in Decay’ because it features everything that should be in an old school death metal song: It is a straight forward and hard hitting song which to me are the very qualities that the eponymous song of an album should have.”

CARNAL TOMB comment: “Starting off with a dive bomb followed by fast riffing, ‘Defiled Flesh’ is one of, if not the fastest song that we have ever written”, guitarist and singer Cryptic Tormentor enthuses. “The track is filled with tempo changes, various melodies, and zombie fueled lyrics. Written by the guitar team, i.e. Goat Eviscerator and myself, it is hardly surprising that ‘Defiled Flesh’ is quite riff-driven and arrives with heavy rhythm patterns and was influenced by Swedish acts such as Bloodbath and Grave. ‘Defiled Flesh’ is also guaranteed to find its way into our live set.”
