Dead Heat "By My Will" Music Video
09/17/25 | [dcraley]Castrator Return With "Covenant of Deceit"
Today, CASTRATOR has dropped the details of Coronation of the Grotesque, the follow-up to 2022's breakthrough LP Defiled In Oblivion. Alongside the album artwork and tracklist is a music video for the first single, "Covenant of Deceit," filmed by Immolation's Bob Vigna. Coronation of the Grotesque will be released August 15th via Dark Descent Records.
“We see it as a leap forward,” exclaims Perez. “It’s by far the strongest work we’ve done to date. Writing Coronation of the Grotesque was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and everything seemed to come together much more naturally this time. While the album still retains elements of who we were as a band, it’s much more refined, cohesive, and brutal.”
The band has been primarily driven by founders Carolina Perez and bassist Robin Mazen, alongside vocalist Clarissa Badini, and newest member Sara Loerlein on guitar.
She continues, “Sara has been fantastic. She’s incredibly professional, brings a ton of new ideas, and her experience really shines through. She’s added a fresh dynamic to the band, and her guitar leads are absolutely killer! We’re really excited to have her as part of the band.”
