New album, “Mud Teeth”, out on October 9th!
The nine-track record follows “Ad Infernum” (2023) and marks the band’s first album featuring Doomslayer on guitar and vocals alongside founding member Oliva.
Musically, “Mud Teeth” pushes SECTARIUM further into death/doom territory, combining heavy death metal riffing, slow and oppressive doom passages, and a darker, more atmospheric approach. The album draws on themes of winter, mythology, the underworld and ritual, while keeping the raw character that has defined the band since its beginnings in the Cuban underground.
“Mud Teeth” was composed, arranged and produced by Oliva at OLI-Studios in Switzerland, with mixing and mastering handled by Doomslayer at DeepBlast Studios in Uruguay.
Oliva is responsible for the guitar, bass and drum arrangements and lyrics, while Doomslayer contributed additional guitar, bass and drum parts as well as vocal arrangements.
Formed in Cuba in 1993, SECTARIUM are among the early bands of the Cuban death/doom metal underground.
Their first demo, “God’s Wrath” (1993), later gained cult status among underground metal listeners, followed by “Larvae” in 1999, recorded during a period marked by the death of bassist and vocalist Franto Paul.
“God’s Wrath” has since received several reissues, including releases through Black Noise Records in 2017, American Line Productions in 2023 and La Caverna Records in 2025.
Based in Switzerland since 2012, SECTARIUM returned from a long recording hiatus with “Ad Infernum” in 2023.
In 2026, the addition of Doomslayer on guitar and vocals introduced a new line-up for the band. “Mud Teeth” continues that evolution with a heavier and more focused death/doom sound while retaining the identity SECTARIUM have developed over more than three decades.
