Five new blasts of heavy D-beat metal by the London/Berlin-based speed-thrash hellions.

Originally formed in London, DUNGEON began their speed-thrash D-beat conquest with an aptly titled demo, Unholy Speed Attack, in 2015. A year later came the English Hell demo, released by the respected Me Saco Un Ojo Records. DUNGEON teamed up with Me Saco Un Ojo again for the release Purifying Fire mini-album in 2018, hitting a fever pitch in intensity and personality.

Now, a long five years after that last record, the hellions of DUNGEON return with another mini-album, and their most defining statement of metalpunk aggression: Into the Ruins. This MLP was recorded live over a sordid weekend in a damp Berlin bunker by engineer Max Hillebrand (Vasseur, Children) in September 2022. Featuring five filthy tracks across 22 minutes, Into the Ruins sees DUNGEON dig deeper into destruction, with evermore extreme influences bleeding into their sound. Their berserker energies summon Sodom and violent ‘80s thrash as well as Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, and Raped Ass-era Anti Cimex among other aural terrors, all merging into DUNGEON’s signature explosive sound. The Venom/Discharge/Priest foundation is still present, but warped and perverted to an even greater degree.
