German extreme metallers SEPTEMBER MURDER released their new album, He Who Invokes Decadence, independently this week. The follow-up to the debut album, Agony In Flesh (2009 - Maintain Rec./Twilight Distribution) was produced by Jens Martinek at his Schmiedeberg 7 Studios in Rübeland, Germany and was mastered in early 2013 by Peter Neuber at Mega Wimp Sound Studios, Berlin.

The band comments on their decision for an independent output as follows: "Contrary to all options we decided to release the album by ourselves and not drop back within the march of time. During the last years, times and conditions have changed enormously and the chances for young and free artists to release their works were rarely as good as they are today. In the end, we just want to keep making music and bring it closer to our fans."

The album artwork was created by Christian Herzer from GUULarts.

Vocalist Oliver comments on the lyrical direction: "He Who Invokes Decadence is more than just a classical death metal parole. The title of the album allegorizes the cry for the most aggressive form of human affection - charity. Man's abasement of morality and violation of borders between the societal credo and the implicitness of its forcible participation are essential topics of the lyrics on this long player."
