Today we have the privilege of sharing an early stream of “Descent” the latest single taken from Athens, Greece-based death/doom metal duo DYSEMBLEM‘s third full-length album ‘Buried by the Weight of Light‘. Active since 2012 and featuring Aees from Phaëthon alongside folks you’ll recognize from Necrovorus and Burial Hordes these folks have long focused on their own ideation of morbid ‘old school’ death metal imbued with the darkest extreme doom of the early 90’s from Unholy to Samael.
Today we are exposed to the crippling radiation of “Descent”, the inaugural downward-shambling step into the miserable plod of Dysemblem‘s craft where the forlorn thrum of their riffs punishes, rapping at the skull throughout. Stripped to grittiest purity of form yet given sentience via gut-clenching roars and foreboding leads ringing in the distance the atmosphere generated here is cold and dead, only beginning to fester with the warmth of death and rot as the album begins. It is a brilliant example of the focused vision of ancient death and damnation these folks have long fostered.
Thanks goes out to Memento Mori and Dysemblem for the opportunity to share this song early. Scroll down to the YouTube embed below to finalize your descent… As always, support the worldwide death metal underground and grab a copy on CD this coming April 27th, 2026:
Per the Press Release:
In our endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage Death Metal, we’re extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: Dysemblem, from Greece.
Formed in 2012 by A. (Vora, Injekting Khaos), Dysemblem’s story is one of continuous exploration and growth, with three demos, one EP and two albums already under their belts. The current lineup is completed by V. (Chainsaw, Necrovorous, ex-Embrace of Thorns) on drums, and newly recruited guitarist/bassist virtuoso T. (Burial Hordes, ex-Dead Congreation).
In a scene plagued by uninspired mimicry and predictable formulas, Dysemblem defiantly stand apart from the mundane crowd, carving their own godforsaken path beyond labels and meaningless worship. Reminiscent of the scene’s formative days, Dysemblem is a beast born of cross contamination: a sickeningly glorious amalgam of all extreme sonic forms that simultaneously embraces the rotting elements enshrined in the sound of Death Metal legends like Autopsy, Entombed, Necrophagia and Bolt Thrower, and the crawling pace of such paragons of misery as early Paradise Lost, Winter and Unholy, while pouring a subtle pinch of the grim face of Black Metal pioneers like Rotting Christ, Samael and Beherit to enhance the deadly potion’s savour. Behold the coming of Hellenic extreme Metal’s most unique offender!
Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their 3rd full-length on April 27th, 2026. Further details to follow in the coming months. Meanwhile, make sure to follow them on social media and listen to their previous output.
