Finnish speed/death cult DET share new track ‘Catacomb’

Finnish speed / death cult DET share the new track “Catacomb“. The track is the third to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Destructive Elite Terror, set for international release October 17th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear DET‘s “Catacomb” in its entirety HERE.

Hailing from Helsinki, Finland’s DET are a speed / death metal band formed in 2022. A power-trio from the very beginning, DET feature members who do or have done time in such bands as Excuse, Asphodelus, Ranger, and Cryogenic among others. Right away, they released the demo Death Night, which was followed a year later by the Vengeance demo and a split with fellow countrymen Kruisfoitu. Meanwhile, they played live in several countries – including Armenia, Georgia, Germany, and the UK among others –and received praising reviews for their performances.

If there was ever any mystery about the acronym to their moniker, DET now deliver their debut album, spelling it out in no uncertain terms: Destructive Elite Terror. Truly titled, Destructive Elite Terror rushes forward with a fury that cannot be contained. While DET will never win any faster-than-thou contests, their use of speed is a measured one, going from hypnotic cruise to Bathorian bang to even an early Sarcofago surge – and every step of the way, energy is maintained and maximized. As such, Destructive Elite Terror offers a refreshing amount of variety in its deceptively breathless 36-minute runtime, and the trio’s riffing similarly exudes a keen sense of space and moody melody to ensure it’s not just straight-ahead bulldoze all the time. Simple but never simplistic, this is authentically old school without pandering to tired tropes.

Somewhere between the crudest early speed metal, contemporaneous proto-black metal, and the very earliest death metal lies Destructive Elite Terror: DET are coming for you!
