Formed in Santiago in the mid-80s, Death Yell earned their reputation through pure chaos and underground devotion. Their 1989 demo “Vengeance From Darkness” was enough to turn them into a cult name, even as decades of silence followed. In 2017 they came back with “Descent Into Hell”, proving that time hadn’t softened them. Eight years later, “Demons Of Lust” arrives to confirm that Death Yell is still one of South America’s most vicious exports.

The album opens the gates to a storm of old-school aggression. The production is sharp without losing the raw hostility that defines their sound. The riffs are steeped in the late ’80s underground, feral, violent, and drenched in sulfur. The drumming pounds with precision and speed, while the vocals drip venom and desecration. “The Parish” and “Offering To The Priest” hit with immediate impact, combining relentless rhythm and macabre atmosphere. “Predatory Preacher” continues the attack, while “Conjuring Asmodeus’ Seed” stands out for its eerie use of organ that deepens the demonic tone. “Seal Of Confession” and “Bastards Of God” further expand the infernal scenery with venomous energy and relentless momentum.

Lyrically, “Demons Of Lust” drags religion through the dirt, exposing hypocrisy and moral decay in sacred spaces. Its imagery is vivid and malicious, focusing on sacrilege, lust, and corruption. There’s a theatrical blasphemy that fits perfectly with the band’s long history of defiance. The cover art and themes complete the unholy vision, keeping Death Yell’s identity intact. “Demons Of Lust” sounds like the work of a band that never left the shadows but learned to command them. It’s unfiltered, aggressive, and soaked in South American darkness, a continuation of everything Death Yell once promised. The flame still burns, and this time it burns brighter and more obscenely than ever.
