Retromorphosis Sign with Season of Mist

Posted on October 9, 2024

Death metal is a punishing genre, especially when it’s of the extremely technical variety. But there’s a beauty that arises when the sworn members of its sacred crypt spring back to life as a new nocturnal creation.

Retromorphosis crawls out from the grave of one of the most influential bands in modern metal. The lineup features two founding members of revered Swedish technical death metal deviants Spawn of Possession. Jonas Bryssling (guitar) and Dennis Röndum (vocals) are joined by their old bandmates Erlend Caperson (bass) and Christian Muenzner (guitar), who’s also a former member of Obscura and Necrophagist. All four members played together on Spawn of Possession’s Incurso, which is widely considered one of the most influential albums in modern death metal.

These familiar faces are rounded out by drummer KC Howard. Howard also drums for Odious Mortem and was a long-time member of Decrepit Birth.

“We are very proud to announce our signing to Season of Mist!” Bryssling says on behalf of the band. “Retromorphosis are by no means spring lambs to the scene. We have past and current members of Spawn of Possession, Obscura, Necrophagist, Decrepit Birth and Odious Mortem, plus Igorr, Abhorrent and Cruelty Exalted, to name a few others. With that said, this is not a random all-star project. We’re a fully fleshed-out band with plenty of ideas for the future. It feels great to know that a well-respected label like Season of Mist will help us share our music with the world”.

Retromorphosis will release their debut album sometime next year.
