Debut album, “Esoteric Order Of Debauchery”, out on October 9th!
Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden’s Mutation were formed around 2019 as an idea between drummer S.N and guitarist K.L due to their mutual worship of the earlier years of raw death metal. Eventually, three new members – vocalist N.S, guitarist S.Q, bassist S.B – joined the band in 2022, and Mutation were finally able to create a demo. Released the next year, their Demo ’23 absolutely scorched with utterly unhinged intensity and authentically ancient atmosphere. Prompted by Perdition Temple’s Gene Palubicki, Hells Headbangers soon signed Mutation, and work began on their imminent debut album.
At long last, that first full-length is here: Esoteric Order of Debauchery. Forged in the spirit of early death metal’s most feral beginnings, Mutation channel a sound that is raw, primitive, and unapologetically violent. There’s no polish here, no artificial shine – just pure, unfiltered aggression driven by riffs, relentless blastbeats, and vocals that feel like they’re clawing their way out from the depths. Drawing heavily from the genre’s earliest days, Mutation revives the chaos and danger that defined death metal before it became refined. Every track on Esoteric Order of Debauchery is a sonic assault – short, sharp, and savage – built on instinct rather than perfection. This is music that punctures like a knife, where feedback screams, drums feel barely contained, and every note carries a death sentence.
Mutation aren’t here to evolve death metal; they’re here to drag it back to its most primal form and make it bleed again. Join this Esoteric Order of Debauchery or fall before their ritual blade!
