Rise of Tyrants

Get ready for an unparalleled sonic assault! Brutal Records has ignited the apocalypse with Italy’s unrelenting force, Rise of Tyrants. Their highly anticipated album, The Chronicles of Cardinal Pablo Mendoza, is set to devastate the scene on February 28, 2025.

But the chaos doesn’t end there! Abnormality in Structure will return in full remastered glory on February 7, 2025, bringing absolute devastation. And don’t miss the complete remaster of Trauma, unleashing its brutal fury on January 10, 2025—shattering all boundaries of extreme metal. Prepare for an onslaught of raw, unrelenting death metal terror: savage, bone-crushing, and unstoppable. Total obliteration is imminent.

Rise of Tyrants is back—and they’re more brutal and unforgiving than ever. Hailing from Bergamo, this powerhouse has unleashed an eleven-track barrage of relentless, self-produced brutality that makes their previous work seem like a mere prelude. The energy is sharper, darker, and more punishing than ever before. With Davide Cantamessa at the helm, delivering a vocal performance that blends raw aggression with unmatched versatility, the band has ascended to new heights of brutality.

The Chronicles of Cardinal Pablo Mendoza hits like a battering ram of thrash and death metal, with a rhythm section that pounds forward like a relentless war machine. The guitars rip through the mix, layering riff after punishing riff, creating a storm of death metal fury that leaves no room to breathe. Cantamessa’s vocal assault cuts through the chaos, effortlessly shifting between guttural growls, savage screams, and commanding tones that demand your attention.

The concept centers on Cardinal Pablo Mendoza, an evil priest who deceives the weak for his own dark purposes. The lyrics explore themes of abuse, violence, and injustice, all delivered with a sharp, ironic, and sarcastic tone. This is more than music—it’s a devastating statement.
