Death metal is the great undead of subgenres: rising, again and again, to take revenge on the living with maximum violence. Servants of the zombie code and masters of old school brutality, Germany’s Endseeker have made their intent to kill again more than apparent over the last nine years. Formed in Hamburg in 2014, the quintet have swiftly built a reputation as one of European death metal’s most dynamic wrecking crews.
From the aspirational evisceration of first full-length 'Flesh Hammer Prophecy', to Metal Blade debut 'The Harvest' in 2019, and the widely acclaimed 'Mount Carcass' two years later, Endseeker have cooked up such a formidable formula that their rise to glory seems almost inevitable. But like everyone else, they were stopped in their tracks by the Covid pandemic and its aftermath. As that global horrorshow fades in the rear-view, Endseeker are poised to return with their most crushing and charismatic album to date: Global Worming. As guitarist Ben explains, overcoming a host of new obstacles eventually led to a fruitful return to the studio.
“We played some intense, weird, strange, funny and bizarre shows during the Covid pandemic and enjoyed some almost ‘normal’ touring when Covid started to fade out,” he recalls. “But the number of shows we could do was still quite limited, touring changed a lot, and became more expensive, and bookings were harder due to a bazillion bands trying to tour at the same time! So we slowly began to start writing new songs every now and then.”
Consumed in its belligerent entirety, 'Global Worming' soon emits the acrid stench of a future classic. Endseeker have stayed true to their deathly roots, while also writing some of the most imaginative songs in their history. Supremely catchy but as brutal and ugly as the arcane gods demand, 'Global Worming' promises to burrow under the world’s skin with maximum force.
