Both deliriously melodic and mercilessly brutal Sarcator – release third album “Swarming Angels & Flies” listen to focus track “The Deep Ends”

The year 2025 could not start better for blackened thrash metal: Swedish rising force Sarcator are releasing their third album “Swarming Angels & Flies”, via Century Media Records. After announcing the signing to the label last year back in July, the young band released three striking, powerful, and raw singles that kept the anticipation for this record high. Now, “Swarming Angels & Flies” is available in its full length. Across eight, grotesque and utterly venomous tracks, the band have deftly blended the wide-eyed extremity of their debut album with the inspirational musicality of their second work “Alkahest”, while playing everything with more intensity than ever before. It is a record that surely raises the bar for face-flaying extreme metal. Both deliriously melodic and mercilessly brutal – “Swarming Angels & Flies” is the most dangerously potent record the Swedes have made to date.

The band shares about “The Deep Ends”:

“’The Deep Ends‘ stands as a strong representative of the traditional rock essence of our sound that we incorporated with our previous album (Alkahest 2022). It’s all about the groove and rhythm in this one, hand in hand with epic-driven arrangements. Everything with our own blackened edge to it that has been the common ground for every SARCATOR song so far. With this one we wanted to push everything forward in combining traditional rock music with extreme metal vocals and expression and of course trying to make it sound organically together.”

Singer and guitarist Mateo Tervonen shares about the album:

“If anyone has ever wondered how our intensity playing live would sound captured on a record, this is the one. There is no question that it‘s our most intense, brutal and rawest creation yet, so those who enjoy those elements of our sound will not be disappointed! We worked a lot on the dynamics, so we are sure that this album will have something for everyone. It’s not really a genre album and we like to keep it that way.”

With the tracks “Swarming Angels & Flies”, “Comet of End Times” and “Where the Void Begins” released prior to the album launch, focus track “The Deep Ends” holds a special place on this record, showcasing Sarcator‘s skill in terms of songwriting with the track sounding both raw and yet defined by each second while combining both worlds of rock and extreme metal.
