Editor's note

Benediction's Birmingham death metal, raw and relentless

A British death metal band that's been hammering out social decay and dark humor since 1989.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Don't Look In The Mirror' for that dark humor edge, or 'Graveworm' from their top tracks. Both give you the picture.

Benediction matters because they've been doing this for over three decades without softening their approach. Songs like 'Grizzled Finale' and 'Artefacted Irreligion' show how they mix thrash and grindcore into death metal while tackling religious hypocrisy and war. Their 2020 album 'Scriptures' proves they're still making uncompromising music.

They formed in Birmingham in 1989 and released 'Subconscious Terror' the next year. Dave Hunt joined on vocals in 1990, and they've kept putting out albums like 'Killing Music' in 2008 and 'Scriptures' in 2020 while maintaining their raw style.
