Bloodbath to release 'Survival of the Sickest' coming in September

The sixth full-length album from Bloodbath, Sweden's undisputed masters of old school death metal, will be unleashed on September 9, 2022 via Napalm Records. This is death metal at its ugly best: vicious, unrelenting and irrevocably sworn to the black.

The world is in flames, and 'Survival of the Sickest', produced by Bloodbath and co-produced and mixed by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios, offers no respite from the horrors of reality. Instead, with the addition of new guitarist Tomas "Plytet" Åkvik (LIK - Sthlm) onboard, Bloodbath's latest and greatest album gleefully confronts the slavering ghoul lurking in the shadows, and treats him to ten songs of ripping death metal frenzy. Alongside Bloodbath's official alumni, 'Survival of the Sickest' boasts a smattering of irresistible cameos from the great, good and ghoulish of the metal underground, including Barney Greenway (Napalm Death), Luc Lemay (Gorguts) and Marc Grewe (Morgoth).

Track listing:
1. Zombie Inferno (04:07)
2. Putrefying Corpse (03:52)
3. Dead Parade (04:39)
4. Malignant Maggot Therapy (03:05)
5. Carved (03:28)
6. Born Infernal (04:00)
7. To Die (03:41)
8. Affliction of Extinction (04:10)
9. Tales of Melting Flesh (04:05)
10. Environcide (03:57)
11. No God before Me (05:45)

Alongside its pre-order kickoff, Bloodbath have released the crushing new single and album opener, 'Zombie Inferno', a thrashing death metal assault set to draw the listener into a lunatic outburst of ferocity. The song breaks in with anxiety-inducing riffs and the insanely killer vocals of Nick Holmes, and is visually highlighted via a fast-paced, gory music video, acting as a tribute to the glory days of 80s splatter flicks.

Bloodbath on 'Zombie Inferno':
"One man's struggle to rid the World of Zombie Infestation that seems to have inconveniently taken over the planet. Particularly, as he's just refueled his 1969 Dodge Super Bee 440."
