Today marks the official unveiling of Denigration, the new full-length from UK technical death metal juggernauts Ingested, out now on Metal Blade Records.

To celebrate the release, the band presents a lyric video for “Oaths Betrayed.” In an interview, the band comments, “‘Oaths Betrayed’ takes the language of faith, war, and destiny and turns it against the systems that abuse those ideas.

The lyrics are about promises written in blood and enforced with steel; oaths that were supposed to protect but ended up binding people to suffering.

It’s a world where idols are pissed on, scriptures are burned, and yet people still march ‘through ruins to claim what’s mine’ because truth is the only thing left worth carrying.” The album's lead vocalist adds, “This song almost didn’t make the cut, and now it’s one of the tracks we reach for first.

Musically, it hits that high-tempo, groove-driven, 2010s-era death metal energy, spiked with breakdowns that feel like the floor cracking open.

It’s urgent, almost martial at times, with riffs that march more than they sprint.

Lyn’s lyrical contribution here adds a different edge, more confrontational, more fixated on personal agency in the middle of collapse.

‘Oaths Betrayed’ feels like a rallying cry in the second half of the record.” Denigration marks Ingested's most dynamic and commanding work to date, featuring guest appearances by John Gallagher of Dying Fetus, Damonteal Harris of PeelingFlesh, Skyler Conder of Cell, and Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher.

The album is produced by Nico Beninato at The Arch Studios in Southport, UK, and features artwork by Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design.

Denigration is available digitally, on CD with two bonus tracks, and on vinyl in various color variants.

Ingested's current tour schedule includes the Chaos & Carnage Tour in the US alongside Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox.
