Swedish modern death metal unit ORECUS return in full force with their brand-new single “JUDGEMENT,” out now alongside a gripping official music video. Marking the band’s first release since their acclaimed 2024 sophomore album Dreadnought, the track signals a decisive step into an even heavier, darker chapter for the rising Gothenburg crushers.
Following Dreadnought — which boasted guest appearances from Björn Strid (Soilwork), Filip Danielsson (Humanity’s Last Breath), Joe McGlynn (Man Must Die), Kevin McCaughey (Ion Dissonance), and Peter Wichers (ex-Soilwork) — “Judgement” arrives as a statement of intent. The band sharpen their sound into something more punishing, monolithic, and ruthless, reinforcing the unmistakable identity they’ve carved out across their first two records.
The official music video amplifies the track’s relentless weight through stark imagery and atmospheric tension, capturing the sense of pressure and inevitability woven through the song. It’s a visual pairing that reflects ORECUS’ dedication to pushing both their audio and aesthetic toward uncompromising extremes.
With “Judgement,” ORECUS set the tone for what lies ahead — heavier riffs, deeper grooves, and an unrelenting commitment to evolving the modern death metal blueprint. A new era has begun, and ORECUS show no sign of slowing down.
