Glorious Depravity

Glorious Depravity is a New York City-based underground metal band known for their intense death metal sound. Formed by members from notable bands like Woe, Pyrrhon, and Mutilation Rites, the group consists of Doug Moore on vocals, Matt Mewton and George Paul on guitars, Chris Grigg on drums, and John McKinney on bass. Their debut album, *Ageless Violence*, released in 2020, is a testament to their ability to craft high-speed, no-frills death metal inspired by the genre's '90s heyday, drawing influences from bands like Morbid Angel and Suffocation. The band's music often explores themes of violence and societal critique, with lyrics that can be both fictional and subtly political.

Glorious Depravity's approach to music is characterized by a focus on raw energy and heaviness, avoiding pretentiousness in favor of delivering uncompromising death metal. Their tracks, such as "Digital Reaper" and "Ocean of Scabs," showcase a blend of brutality and technical skill, positioning them as a significant force in the contemporary death metal scene. Despite their busy schedules with other projects, the band members are committed to continuing Glorious Depravity, with plans for future releases already underway.
