British death metal legends, Benediction, have released yet another single from their upcoming new studio album, Ravage Of Empires, which is due to be released on April 4 via Nuclear Blast Records.
“Crawling Over Corpses” is a ferocious up-tempo banger, which transports the band’s old school roots into the here and now while destroying everything that stands in its way. Dave Ingram’s primal growls have never sounded more vicious, and the rhythm section fires on all cylinders with a barrage of riffs and massive breakdowns. Alongside the single, another fiercely entertaining music video has been released, which you can watch below. Stream the single here.
Ravage Of Empires is available for pre-order on CD, LP, and as a digital album.
Available formats:

“Sometimes They Come Back” is not just the title of a horror movie based on a macabre tale by Stephen King, it is also a summary of what happened to UK death metal veterans Benediction, yet you might like to add a “better than ever before”. While never officially disbanded, 2020’s Scriptures, the group’s eighth studio album achieved what is usually not an easy feat. It connected well with classics like Transcend the Rubicon (1993) and its immediate and memorable songwriting, the heavy-as-a-brick Grind Bastard (1998), and also saw legendary vocalist Dave Ingram return with his merciless roar and knack for morbid, twisted lyrics. After two albums with Dave Hunt on vocals, Scriptures was Benediction’s first record in over a decade impressing with aggressive up-tempo attacks like “Iterations of I” and “Rabid Carnality” or the neck-breaking mid-tempo barrage of “Stormcrow”, songs that became live staples alongside ‘evergreens’ such as “I Bow to None”, “Magnificat”, “Subconscious Terror” or “Vision in the Shroud” in no time. With Scriptures, Benediction even almost cracked Germany’s top ten by entering at a phenomenal #11 of the Official German Charts showing that the death metal veterans founded 1989 in Birmingham, England, offered an extremely well-received sonic catharsis when due to the pandemic, people were locked down and pissed off.
With their brilliant new record, Ravage Of Empires in tow, founding members and guitarists Darren Brookes and Peter Rew, longtime vocalist Dave Ingram, drummer Giovanni Durst, and Nik Sampson (bass) will travel far and wide once more. Already confirmed are the Tales of the Triple Death Tour with Jungle Rot and Master kicking off on the album release date as well as confirmed appearances at Wacken Open Air and Maryland Deathfest. More to be announced soon.
