Kansas City death metal battalion, TOMBSEEKER, unleash their self-titled debut this January, a battle-tempered display of pure, unfiltered death metal. Forgoing excess and ornamentation, TOMBSEEKER delivers a record rooted in brute force, steel-clad riffcraft, and tightly focused songwriting, honed to hit with lethal precision.
Drawing from the tank-tread force of Bolt Thrower, the HM-2-driven savagery of Entombed, and the merciless punishment of Suffocation, TOMBSEEKER craft a sound of relentless aggression that drives forward with pulverizing momentum.
Lead single, ‘Immolated Self’, fires the record’s opening salvo, layering serrated HM-2 riffs, pounding tom strikes, double-kick bursts, and colossal bass, surging through explosive turns that keep listeners on edge while previewing the full barrage that awaits. It’s a precise, unrelenting strike that defines the album’s mission: classic death metal executed with iron-forged ruthlessness.
Across the album, drummer Allen Gingerich propels the charge with punishing percussion, as guitarists Kyle Calloway and Simon Joseph carve out grinding riffs that snap, lurch, and cut with violent intent. Bassist Alex Van Erem anchors the low-end devastation, with earthshaking weight, while vocalist Jonathan Houst leads the front line with a commanding, blood-raw roar that seals the band’s sound in pure death metal ferocity.
Recorded by TOMBSEEKER, with mixing and mastering handled by drummer Allen Gingerich, ‘Tombseeker’ is completed with artwork by Darkpen, logo by Remedy Art, and photography by Paper Anchor Media.
