| "All hail the new kings of the British Metal Underground!" - KERRANG!
In the pillared city of Ur, the horns of misfortune resound. Men cry war from mountainous battlements, bladed chariots muster in their thousands and common men beg the mercy of pitiless Gods. This is the essence of Sarpanitum: an unstoppable siege-engine of blackened death forged in the cradle of civilisation. Sarpanitum formed in Birmingham, England A.D. 2003, beneath the vigilant gaze of band hierophant Andy Techakosit. Rooted in self-acquired lore of Ancient Babylonia, Sumeria and Akkadia, the founder could do little but translate his fascination with mythology and ancient civilisation into music - the rightful medium for the Mesopotamian epic, Despoilment Of Origin. Plagued by terrible omens and numerous lineup changes, Techakosit (vocals / bass) would soon find staunch musical allies and Despoilment Of Origin is the fruit of their slaving labour; an eloquently guttural performance of mythological blackened death metal that leaves only ashes in its wake. Their achievements as an unsigned, young band have been nothing short of glorious and led them to sign with Galactic Records. Having appeared with monumental entities including Decapitated, Insision, Visceral Bleeding and Macabre, they earned a slot at the annual Neurotic Records Deathfest in 2006 in Eindhoven, Holland, a high-profile event for the world's most prestigious death-metal warlords. Side-by-side with the likes of Psycroptic, Insidious Decrepancy, Gorerotted, Avulsed and Prostitute Disfigurement, Sarpanitum tasted bloody triumph at what can only be described as one of death metal's most barbaric live events. Following brutal military subjugation, Kerrang! Magazine declared Sarpanitum "The new kings of the British Metal Underground,"and clearly submitted to extortionate tribute with their astounding KKKK live review. Masterful. Archaic. Decadent. - Galactic Records 2007.

"… Having spent the last couple of years gaining a reputation as one of the UK's finest death metal outfits thanks to their bulldozering live power, it's hardly surprising that Sarpanitum's debut slays with such ferocity you are left worrying that the sheer intensity will tear your speakers to shreds…“ - Kerrang "Sarpanitum aren't standing in anyone's shadow when it comes to the music. Capturing the heaviness of the likes of Immolation and melding it with the catchy ferocity of Melechesh, Sarpanitum have gone a long way to forging their own sound. As debut's go, that's pretty damn impressive.“ - Zero Tolerance "Arguably the best death metal debut to come out of England in some years... a highly impressive slab of brutal yet intelligent death metal that warrants your attention right now.“ - Digital Metal More reviews available at www.sarpanitum.com Sarpanitum t-shirts are now available through www.sarpanitum.co.uk.
