Rising from the depths of Sweden’s death metal underground, NEKRODAWN return with “Covenant Of Carnage”, a devastating new chapter from one of the scene’s most promising and destructive forces. Featuring members with pedigrees in GRAVE, CENTINEX, INTERMENT, THE CROWN, and HYPOCRISY, the band continues to forge its own path through darkness, brutality, and uncompromising aggression.

Following the acclaimed debut “Sculpted By Torture”, NEKRODAWN raise the stakes with an album that is heavier, darker, and even more relentless. “Covenant Of Carnage” delivers a merciless barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and savage vocal attacks, combining the raw spirit of classic Swedish death metal with a sinister blackened edge and a modern sense of devastation.

Every track is crafted to inflict maximum damage, balancing unrestrained violence with an atmosphere of looming darkness and apocalyptic intensity. The band’s trademark blend of razor-sharp songwriting, punishing heaviness, and undeniable authenticity cements their position among the most exciting names in contemporary death metal.

With “Covenant Of Carnage”, NEKRODAWN prove that their explosive debut was only the beginning. This is death metal in its purest and most ferocious form – brutal, uncompromising, and utterly crushing. Set for release on August 21st 2026 via War Anthem Records on CD, limited LP and digitally.
