M-Theory Audio is thrilled to announce the official signing of Swedish old-school death metal upstarts FARSOTH! To celebrate the alliance, the band release a brand-new single and music video for "Chainsaw Cult," serving as the crushing first taste of their upcoming third full-length album, slated for release in the spring of 2027.
Founded in 2020 by former CARNAL FORGE/IN THY DREAMS guitarist Jari Kuusisto, FARSOTH has quickly carved out a ferocious reputation for unyielding and punishing extremity. The band's upcoming 2027 full-length will mark their eagerly awaited M-Theory Audio debut, following a pair of celebrated releases that established them as the next emerging powerful force in the Swedish death metal underground.
Guitarist Jari Kuusisto comments on the partnership:
"Farsoth are thrilled to finally announce that we have inked a new recording deal with M-Theory Audio. We are really looking forward to seeing where this will take the band. We've known this for some time, and now we can also let you know. M-Theory Audio feels like a fantastic match for Farsoth, and we are looking forward to what doors this will open for us. Stay tuned for new music in the coming months. Album number 3 will be released in 2027. Join the madness and see you in 2027."
Giving fans an inside look at the sonic violence driving the new material, vocalist Joakim Mikiver explains the inspiration behind the band’s lead single:
"The song 'Chainsaw Cult' is a celebration of the HM-2 pedal, which is a pillar stone in the Swedish Old School Death Metal scene. It’s all about the Death Metal Cvlt. This song is our way to pay tribute to the music that we all grew up listening to."

About FARSOTH
Formed in Sweden in 2020 by former Carnal Forge/In Thy Dreams guitarist Jari Kuusisto, recruiting vocalist Joakim Mikiver and bassist Jonas Magnusson (both from Facebreaker) FARSOTH emerged with a singular mission – to deliver uncompromising, high-velocity death metal steeped in the rich traditions of the Swedish underground. Combining chainsaw guitar tones with ferocious hooks and relentless momentum, the band independently released their debut effort, ‘The Plague,’ in 2022. Guitarist Johnny Nymark (Fuel For Nightmares, One Hour Hell) joined in time to be part of their sophomore album, ‘Morbid Symphonies’ (Black Lion Records), in 2023, earning widespread acclaim across extreme metal circles and proving their mettle on live stages with several club and festival appearances. Now with a full-time drummer Staffan Lundholm (Dr. Living Dead!, Bibleblack) joining the ranks the band wrote and recorded a punishing new album, ‘Dominion of the Dead,’ for release next spring worldwide on M-Theory Audio. Now, with a powerhouse partnership forged FARSOTH is poised to unleash their most devastating material yet. Prepare the pits—the Chainsaw Cult is officially rising.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
Farsoth is a Swedish old-school death metal band formed in Sala in 2020 by guitarist Jari Kuusisto, formerly of Carnal Forge and In Thy Dreams. Driven by a passion for the classic Swedish death metal sound, the band delivers an uncompromising combination of crushing riffs, chainsaw guitar tones, aggressive vocals, and relentless rhythms.
Following the band's formation, Kuusisto recruited vocalist Joakim Mikiver and bassist Jonas Magnusson, both associated with Facebreaker, alongside guitarist Kristofer Elemyr. Finding a permanent drummer proved challenging, and Chris Barkensjö of Lik was brought in to record the drums for their debut material.
Farsoth released their debut full-length album, *The Plague*, independently in September 2022. Featuring nine tracks of raw and aggressive death metal, the album established the band's dedication to the Swedish old-school tradition. The release was followed by significant lineup changes, including the departure of drummer William Parkstam and the tragic passing of guitarist Kristofer Elemyr in 2022.
In 2023, guitarist Johnny Nymark joined the band, and Farsoth signed with Black Lion Records. Their second full-length album, *Morbid Symphonies*, was released on November 24, 2023. Featuring ten tracks of punishing death metal, the album further developed the band's combination of heavy grooves, savage riffs, and memorable songwriting while remaining firmly rooted in the classic Swedish death metal sound.
With drummer Staffan Lundholm joining the lineup in 2024, Farsoth continued developing new material and strengthening their live presence.
In November 2026, the band announced a new recording agreement with M-Theory Audio and unveiled the single "Chainsaw Cult", a tribute to the legendary HM-2 guitar pedal and the Swedish death metal tradition. The song serves as the first taste of their upcoming third studio album, *Dominion of the Dead*, scheduled for release in spring 2027.
Rather than reinventing death metal, Farsoth proudly embraces its roots, delivering straightforward, powerful, and uncompromising Swedish death metal built for headbanging and the mosh pit.
