BARBAROUS Announce “Initium Mors” LP
Posted by admin on Jun.05, 2025
We’re thrilled to announce “Initium Mors”, the monstrous debut LP from Oakland, California death metal crew BARBAROUS, out 8/1/25.
BARBAROUS hit the ground running since coming onto the scene in April 2024 in the Bay Area. In September, the band released their two-song “Coup De Grâce” demo to widespread underground acclaim, just a foretaste of the lurking savagery the band was preparing to unleash.
BARBAROUS’ “Initium Mors”, arrives as one of the most devastating records so far this year. The band’s classic death metal influences are exemplified though a modern edge of relentless Bay Area energetic destruction. “Initium Mors” was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Cody Fuentes in February/March 2025 at Rapture Studios (Spite, Wolf King, Lionheart), and completed with harrowing art by death metal luminary Dan Seagrave (Dismember, Hypocrisy, Morbid Angel).
BARBAROUS’ Initium Mors single “Tools Of The Trade” is now streaming on YouTube HERE and Bandcamp HERE.
