Father Befouled is an ominous presence on the death metal scene, known for their cavernous sound and blasphemous themes. Formed in 2007 in the United States, the band quickly established itself with a relentless barrage of guttural vocals, down-tuned guitars, and a suffocating atmosphere of doom. Father Befouled's music is a sinister blend of old-school death metal brutality and murky, ritualistic elements, drawing on influences from the early works of Incantation and the foreboding aura of funeral doom.

Over the years, Father Befouled has crafted a discography that's as darkly evocative as it is heavy. Their lyrical content delves into anti-religious sentiment, esoteric lore, and the tenebrous corners of spirituality. Through releases such as "Obscurus Nex Cultus" (2008) and "Revulsion of Seraphic Grace" (2012), the band has forged a path of desecration, leaving a trail of revered albums in their wake. The full-length "Desolate Gods" (2017) further cemented their status as torchbearers of the underground death metal movement, showcasing the band's evolution without shedding their signature oppressive sound. Even with live recordings like "Anointed in Darkness (Live in Europe)", Father Befouled demonstrates their ability to transmute the suffocating essence of their studio work into a potent live experience for their devoted fanbase.
