Austerymn

Austerymn are an Old School death metal from the North West of England. We grew up in the late 80’s early 90’s tape trade scene and have existed as a band in various guises since starting as Perpetual Infestation in 1990 before changing into Godless Truth in 1991 and releasing a well received demo of Doom/Death in 1993 before life got in the way of music and the band was put on hold.
Austerymn emerged from a prolonged hiatus in 2007, and after experimenting with different styles of heavy music, we decided it was time to go back to our roots and play what’s in our blood. OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL!
Taking influences from our idols, At The Gates, Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Carnage, Death, Dismember, Entombed, Grave, Morbid Angel and Paradise Lost, we set out solely to make the type of music that we love to listen to.
The result of this rebirth(in blasphemy!) was the 2013 “In Death… We Speak” demo. Thankfully, it wasn’t just us that liked the music we were making. This two track release generated a great response from fans and labels alike. As a result, Goatprayer records released a limited edition tape version of “In Death…” which sold out and an album deal was secured with respected underground Spanish label Memento Mori.
This prompted founding members Rik Simpson and Steve Critchley to find suitable musicians to create a stable full line-up and start playing live. Former school friend and guitar geek Stuart Makin was recruited on lead guitar and after a long search, drummer Nikk Perros was in place and this line up is now playing shows across the UK and Europe.
Our Debut album “Sepulcrum Viventium” will be released in
April 2015 on Memento Mori Records.
