Brazilian brutal death metal veterans, Ophiolatry, have officially signed with WormHoleDeath Records and announced the release of their new album, Serpent’s Verdict, set to drop on June 6. The band has also released a teaser for the album, giving fans their first glimpse into what promises to be a devastating release in extreme metal.
They comment on the brutality: “The album delves into themes of spiritual revenge, indigenous resistance, and the clash between ancient traditions and imposed beliefs. Inspired by real events in the Amazon, mythology, and existential suffering, the lyrics paint vivid scenes of war, punishment, and transcendence through pain. Each song tells a story, whether it be about warriors resurrected for revenge, the wrath of serpent gods, or the fall of oppressive ideologies. The words are raw, intense, and unrelenting, reflecting the chaotic brutality of the music itself.”
This signing marks a significant milestone for Ophiolatry, whose last full-length album, Transmutation, was released in 2008 through Forces Of Satan Records/Regain Records. After a period of careful composition and development, the band returns with renewed purpose and vision, channeling the raw energy that established them as pioneers of South American extreme metal while evolving their distinctive sound. The album represents a departure from the relentless technicality of “Transmutation” while preserving the band’s signature brutality and expanding their sonic palette.
The album functions as a sonic ritual – a brutal, immersive descent into cycles of destruction, revenge, and rebirth. Each track serves as a chapter in this narrative, combining aggressive riffs, guttural vocals, and tribal rhythms inspired by ancient warrior traditions. It is recommended for fans of Morbid Angel, Death, and Deicide.
