Treasondom | The Flesh Consumes The Mind | Defense Records/Maximed Records

 

Release Date: August 15th, 2025
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl
Genre: Raging Death/Grind/Crust Metal
Country: Romania

Treasondom comes from the cold mountains of Transylvania and since 2017 they’ve been firing out venomous blasts of grind, death, thrash and crust. Their name has started to spread in the underground through their EP “Nihilistic Incubator” (2018), compilation appearances, and live gigs alongside heavyweights like Master, Candlemass and Foetal Juice. After years of sowing chaos, the band now unleashes its first full-length, “The Flesh Consumes The Mind”.

This album is a relentless strike, clocking in at just over 22 minutes. It thrives on urgency, fury and collapse. Songs like “Everyone Is Dead Or Dying” and “Cathedral For Thieves” hit like lightning, gone in moments but leaving wreckage behind. The instrumental “Rites Of Loss” is a tolling reminder of mortality, an eerie pause before the album storms back into violence. Treasondom’s dual guitar and vocal attack, backed by a punishing rhythm section, makes tracks such as “The Flesh Consumes The Mind” and “Revolution Eats Its Children” erupt with raw hostility.


The production by Ben Jones captures the band’s sound with an organic strike, full of grit and impact. Nothing is distant or artificial here, every riff and drum strike sounding immediate and alive. Songs like “Progress?” with its jagged riffs and “No Shores At The End” with its grinding, doom-laced march, give the album a sense of finality, like staring into the ruins of civilization while the fires still burn.

Treasondom doesn’t waste time, they go straight for the jugular. The album is savage, direct, and memorable in its chaos. For fans of Napalm Death, Lock Up, Nasum and Misery Index, this is an album that will scratch the itch for furious, uncompromising grind-infused death metal with crusted edges. This is an intent debut full-length; a violent proclamation carved in noise and rage. It’s the kind of album that its raw energy keeps pulling you back into the storm.

Score: 8.0
