about

The second album of CORPSESSED, titled "IMPETUS OF DEATH" was the product of years of hard work. As we have never been the fastest of composers, we also took the time to concentrate on the smaller details in the songs, and the objective was that every track would have a memorable hook of it's own.

What came out, besides a logical next step in the evolution of the band, was a BRUTAL album, yet without the need to break the 250 BPM barrier to show it's strength. Still rooted in the classic sound of the early 90's yet with its own doomy touch, it's the albums uncanny ability to bring forth a quite unique form of creepiness, almost cinematic in places and quite claustrophobic that sets it apart.

The album's title was inspired by the impression that, indeed, it is death itself that sets things in motion, be it the fear or lurking presence of your own demise, or the death of a loved one. It can be seen as a force that moves us and sets a timeline for our very existence. This you can view as either something very grim and nihilistic, or on the contrary, the very thing that gives your life a meaning or the power to do anything. To create you must also destroy - 'solve et coagula' - where death gives birth to something new.... This is life, and death is an essential part of it. And the music we play, is DEATH METAL so what could be more fitting?
