After more than thirteen years of silence, the UK’s most unapologetically vile practitioners of brutal slam death metal are back. Engorgement return with They Rot Beneath Our Floor, a full-scale descent into filth, violence, and sonic dismemberment—set for release March 20, 2026 via Comatose Music.

This is not a comeback designed for subtlety or restraint. From the opening moments of “Prelude To Your Dismemberment,” the listener is dragged downward, step by step, until the floor gives way completely. What follows is an unrelenting barrage of slamming riffs, cavernous gutturals, and punishing drum work that leaves no room to breathe.

“Keep Festering” detonates immediately, spraying blastbeats and grotesque groove with surgical cruelty. The title track, “They Rot Beneath Our Floor,” balances catastrophic speed with suffocating, slow-crawl heaviness—each section feeling like another stage in a methodical dissection. Tracks like “Watching Your Body Twitch” lean hard into bone-crushing groove, while “Resurrection” and “Blunt Force Osteotomy” hammer the final nails shut with pure, hateful efficiency.

The album was mixed and mastered at GLDCHN Studios by Floor van Kuijk (Korpse, Sijjeel, Carnifloor), and the production hits exactly where it should—raw, oppressive, and utterly repugnant without sacrificing clarity. It sounds like a crime scene that’s been meticulously documented rather than cleaned up. Artwork duties were handled by Christian Castro, whose visual assault matches the album’s themes of decay and inhumanity perfectly.

They Rot Beneath Our Floor is brutal death metal without compromise—no polish, no mercy, no concern for good taste. If you’ve been waiting for something genuinely disgusting, your patience has paid off.
