Dead Congregation is a band that stands as a menacing figure in the realm of underground death metal, hailing from Athens, Greece. Formed in 2004, they have since then carved out a niche for themselves with their brand of cavernous and meticulously crafted music that pays homage to the old-school sound while infusing it with their unique, oppressive atmosphere. The band's dedication to the death metal genre is demonstrated through their tight musicianship and dark lyrical themes, which explore the morbid and the macabre.

Through a handful of releases that have secured their spot in the underground metal scene, Dead Congregation has shown a commitment to quality over quantity. Their 2008 full-length debut, "Graves of the Archangels," earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated following, with its complex arrangements and punishing sonic intensity. It was followed by the equally formidable "Promulgation of the Fall" in 2014, which further solidified their reputation for producing unrelenting death metal with a ritualistic edge. The EP "Sombre Doom" in 2016 continued their exploration of darker and doomier territories, showcasing their ability to expand their sound while maintaining its core essence. In 2022, the band revisited their first release with the remastered version of "Purifying Consecrated Ground," allowing both new fans and old to witness the relentless beginnings of their journey with a fresh sonic perspective. Dead Congregation stands as one of the pillars of modern death metal, their music a relentless homage to decay and the void.
