BENEDICTION release lyric video for ‘A Carrion Harvest’
New album ‘Ravage Of Empires’ is out now
04-04-2025
Today, British death metal legends, BENEDICTION, are celebrating the release of their highly anticipated new album Ravage Of Empires, not only with the coinciding release of a lyric video for the album’s devastating opening track ‘A Carrion Harvest‘, but also by kicking off their European tour with guests Junge Rot & Master tonight in Hamburg.
Watch ‘A Carrion Harvest‘ below.
“Brace for impact, or be blown away” – these lines from the chorus of fast-paced ripper ‘A Carrion Harvest‘ can be regarded as a condensed instruction manual for Ravage Of Empires. The album’s opening track sets the stage for a demonstration of pure old-school death metal power in eleven chapters by one of the genre’s pioneers, and its torch bearers to this day and age.
Watch the previously released ‘Crawling Over Corpses‘ and “Engines Of War” below.

The year 2020 saw BENEDICTION re-enter the stage with their eighth record, Scriptures, after 12 years without releasing any new music. The album was a huge success and it was praised by fans and critics alike, also due to the return of long-time vocalist Dave Ingram.
Just like its predecessor, Ravage Of Empires was produced by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Sudio with cover artwork by Wolven Claw Artist. The album continues BENEDICTION’s flawless discography on Premier League level and promises to become one of 2025’s undisputable old school death metal highlights! Stand by for more infos on the album and the pre-order, which will start soon.
