PROSCRITO (Spain) signed to Memento Mori!!!

In our endless quest to push and support underground acts that deliver the goods unaware of trends and hypes, we´re extremely excited to announce a new signing: PROSCRITO, from Spain. PROSCRITO was born from the ashes of the sloppier incarnation known as Calvario in 2016, paying homage to the too-doomed-to-be-dead/to-dead-to-be-doomed parts of releases like "Satanic Rites", "Erupted Evil", "The Dying Truth", "Embrace the Death", "Mental Funeral", "Lost Paradise", "Into Darkness", "Worship Him" or "Reflections from the Solstice", crafting slow and churning tracks that were to be (not really) perfected with the band´s debut, titled "El Calvario" (Iron Bonehead, 2017), a release filled with an all-encompassing passion for decay and rottenness, from the penitent and flagellant opening track "Via Crucis" to the closing instrumental mantra that is "Puteado", pounding caveman percussion, thundering bass and wah-soloing frenziness in between. After three days of morbid delirium at Moontower Studios (Ataraxy, Graveyard, Oniricous, Teitanblood...), once again under Javier Felez´s supervision, the follow-up to the debut EP took form with some more echoes to the days of yore as a full-length frontal assault titled "Llagas y Estigmas" ("Sores and Stigmata"), featuring 5 disgruntled litanies of blood, sweat and no tears imagery reminiscent of Robert E. Howard and Cormac McCarthy, muscular riffage, vomit and mucus. Tracks like "Marcado por la Pezuña", "Tronos de Oprobio" or their (scato)logical outcome "Pantalgia" truly persist with that tradition of primitiveness, putting the stress both in the DEATH and the METAL, for doom has always been the band´s destiny, its powers and wisdom. Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their debut full-length album, "Llagas y Estigmas", in January 2020. Further details to follow in the coming months. Meanwhile, make sure to give them a like on Facebook and listen to their previous output (links below). Discography: "El Calvario" EP (2017) Links: https://proscritoyolvidado.bandcamp.com/releases
