Pittsfield Massachusetts- Death Metal band Vomit Forth have announced their new EP In The Name Of The Father is out now via their new label, Pure Noise Records.
“Born King is about our tendency as humans to justify our shortcomings." says the band. "Doing so can lead to a sense of arrogance. This leads to people thinking they are god sometimes, but no matter what we will always have our true selves. The best way to access our true selves is my admitting our faults and atoning for our miss deeds regardless of what they are. Therefore, admitting and understanding we are not and could never be “God”. We will always have the ability to do that and that can never be taken away from us.”
Vomit Forth have rapidly established themselves as one of the most uncompromising voices in modern death metal. Blending cavernous brutality and a raw, confronting edge, In The Name Of The Father is the first body of work since their 2024 album, Terrified Of God.
“The EP started with the writing of the song “Born King”. Originally, it was a song written out of spite and what I would, in hindsight, call arrogance," says vocalist Kane Gelaznik. "I was feeling as though I was responsible for current trends in heavy music and not getting my “flowers”. Not long after I lost my father, suddenly and without warning, I started to reflect on myself as a person and my art. Realising there was something more here than just a song about my unnecessary and juvenile resentment. The song evolved in the studio into two songs, one of them being “Contrition” and the other being the aforementioned “Born King”. Thematically, the release changed into me grappling with losing a father. Struggling with feeling like a failure as a son and as a person. Ultimately, finding out that although I am flawed, I can still find happiness by learning from those failures. I wrote the lyrics in a way that was vague enough so that the listener could apply these themes from my life to their own. In hopes that something positive could come from my own tragedy.”
