Selfmadegod Records has announced the release of the CD version of the debut album by US death metal/doom band ENCOFFINATION, entitled Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh.

Formed in 2009, Encoffination is the sepulchral embodiment of rancid death. Crushing, suffocating death metal doom of the lowest caliber. Named for the ritual preparation of the dead for burial, Encoffination exists below the plane of mortality; deep within the realms of death and decay. Slowly they lurch forth with their educated form of blasphemy, occult, and ritualistic expulsion of the holy from the earth.

This is the first full length from this two-piece band, which is comprised of Ghoat on vocals, guitar, and bass (also in FESTERED) and Elektrokutioner on drums (also in DECREPITAPH, Festered, TOMBSTONES, BEYOND HELL, SCAREMAKER).

he follow-up to their After Their Temples Descend Below The Earth 7-inch, released earlier this year, this Georgia/Texas-based duo attacks with the 8-song Ritual Ascension Beyond Flesh, featuring over 30 minutes of cryptic metal influenced by early ‘90s American doom/death and bands like INCANTATION, DISEMBOWELMENT and MORPHEUS DESCENDS.

The album has already been released on tape format by Ritval Death Offerings, and the vinyl version is available on Psychedelic Lotus Order. Now it’s time for the CD version, coming in September.
