Some bands flirt with heaviness. Others embrace it. And then there’s Desolate Tomb, who wield brutality like a war hammer, swinging it with unrelenting precision. Their latest single, "Pierced on the Hill of Golgotha" (feat. Daniel Gates), drops via Rottweiler Records on April 18th—Good Friday—a day soaked in suffering, redemption, and, in this case, sheer sonic obliteration.
The cover art tells you everything you need to know before you even press play. A haunting depiction of Christ crucified, a Roman soldier piercing His side, all under a sky thick with sorrow. The imagery isn’t just for shock—it’s a stark reminder of the violent cost of salvation, a theme that Desolate Tomb doesn’t just explore but demands you confront. The tagline emblazoned on the piece says it all:
"Eternal life must be bought through brutal death."
Musically, you know what’s coming. Blast beats that rattle the bones, guitars that cut like serrated steel, and gutturals that sound like they’re echoing from the depths of Sheol itself. This isn’t just brutal death metal—it’s theological profundity, scripture set to blast furnace intensity, a soundtrack for the weight of the cross.
With Daniel Gates lending his voice to the mix, expect a vocal assault that will leave no stone unturned, no soul unshaken. April 18th is coming. Are you ready to witness Golgotha? For those unfamiliar with Desolate Tomb, check out the lyric video below.
