PRE-ORDERS: Dødsferd – Wrath
We are now taking pre-orders for the latest musical onslaught from Greek legions Dødsferd, their twelfth full-length entitled “Wrath”
“Wrath” is presented as a DLP Gatefold, a massive new effort from one of Greece’s longest running black metal bands. The vinyl release is limited to 300 copies, in 3 separate variants – a “Lava variant, a “Womb of God” variant and a classic black variant. The DLP edition also comes with a vinyl exclusive track on Side D – the nearly 14 minute mammoth “Back to My Homeland… A Beast in Calm”.
“Wrath” is also available in a CD edition, presented in a 6 panel digipack with an 8 page booklet. The CD edition contains the six main album tracks and is limited to an edition of 500 copies.
We also have an exclusive and limited Dødsferd flag, printed on high-quality textile material with four corner grommets. Flags are 100cm x 70cm and are limited to 100 copies.
Album notes:
Dødsferd has established its name over the years as a remarkably persistent black metal institution, one which has been consistent in delivering quality outputs album after album, not afraid in taking artistic detours only to come back with full force, and always remaining true to itself. Over the course of two decades, it released no less than 11 full length albums, alongside an impressive number of other EPs, splits, and demos. While it has nothing to prove to no one, Dødsferd burns today with the same fury and passion as ever.
Following the acclaimed “Diseased Remnants of a Dying World” album in 2018, Dødsferd released an atmospheric two-piece album of raw black metal entitled “Suicide and the rest of your kind will follow Part II”, followed by an acoustic collaboration with Sarvok. Circling back to its blackest sources, the 12th and newest album “Wrath” promises to be a no holds barred, uncompromising onslaught of raw black metal. Aptly titled after its founder, the album’s eponymous quality can be recognized in its raw purity, and its ability to weave elements which have been used over the past 20 years. Erupting with a renewed maturity and confidence, “Wrath” is at the crossroad of where Dødsferd came from and where it is going; it will appeal to those who have been following Dødsferd over the years, as well as those new to it.
Dødsferd is Wrath & Wrath is Dødsferd! Till the end of this corrupted and diseased world!
Thematically, “Wrath” carries in its wake a vigorous indictment of the social and economic consequences of capitalism, political corruption, ecocide, and the largest argument against our civility – warfare.
In conspiracy with Dødsferd’s very own Fucking Your Creation Records, the new album “Wrath” will be officially released on both CD and LP formats in May 2024. Following that, you can also expect a limited Tape and Digi CD Box Set by the end of the year exclusively through FYC Records.

Second Teaser
In a little over a week, we will finally premiere the first taste of the new Dødsferd album “Wrath” – their twelfth in their legendary history and first on Hypnotic Dirge! This winter, Dødsferd worked with Mick Alexandrakis (Black Screen – Graphic Arts) to manifest an apt visual depiction for the album’s opening track “Restoration of Justice”, turning a spotlight on recent events in Greece in which the Greek state showed itself to be unyielding in its dedication to austerity politics and empire protection, once again turning the mechanisms of the state against the working class. “Restoration of Justice” will premiere next Friday February 23, 2024!!
DØDSFERD – “Restoration of Justice” video Video release: Friday February 23, 2024
As the twelfth album from Greek underground black metal legions Dødsferd fast approaches, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a video clip for the opening track “Restoration of Justice”, created by Mick Alexandrakis (Black Screen – Graphic Arts). “Restoration of Justice” deals with the ineptitude and corruption of the Greek state while dealing with catastrophic natural disasters, police brutality, and its backing of colonial geo-political projects. All of this will become apparent when the video premieres, shortly on Friday February 23, 2024!!
January 22nd of 2024 (Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records):
The twelfth album from Greek underground black metal legions Dødsferd comes out this Spring, an extremely strong new opus that proves that Dødsferd is still on top of their game! Today we bring you the magnificent artwork by longtime Dødsferd collaborator George Gyzis, this being his ninth time crafting the artwork for a Dødsferd album, refined and prepared for all formats by Nikos Stavridakis (VisionBlack).
The vinyl edition of the album will be released as a DLP Gatefold with a vinyl exclusive bonus track “Back to My Homeland… A Beast in Calm”. The vinyl will be available in three distinct variants in editions of 100 each, and with George Gyzis’s art throughout the layout, the vinyl edition of “Wrath” promises to be striking and glorious. Additionally, the album will also be available as a 6 panel digipack CD. Both formats will become available to pre-order in March with shipping in May!
“Wrath” promises to be a no holds barred, uncompromising onslaught of raw black metal, filled with fury and passion as can always be expected from Dødsferd, as well as a vigorous indictment of the social and economic consequences of capitalism, political corruption, ecocide, and the largest argument against our civility – warfare.
