Fossilization & Phobocosm + Consecration

Fossilization

Fossilization is a death metal duo from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2020 by two members of the band Jupiterian.

They return to Europe in 2026 to promote their sophomore album, Advent of Wounds, released in January via Everlasting Spew Records. This new chapter, marks the most intense and brutal evolution in the band's career to date.

Following the success of their previous releases, He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten and Leprous Daylight; a standout performance at Maryland Deathfest 2024; two successful European tours, alongside Altars (2023) and Father Befouled (2024), including appearances at major festivals such as Kill-Town Death Fest, L’Homme Sauvage, and the fourth edition of Candelabrum Metal Fest in León, Mexico, Fossilization is set to bring perpetual desolation to European stages once more.

The band blends masterfully evil and sombre riffing with chasm-dwelling drumming, along with crushing doom passages to create scalding, sepulchral atmospheres and death metal in the vein of Incantation and Dead Congregation. Their latest release is further proof that the band is going from strength to strength and this is a unique opportunity to witness their live ritual in Norwich.

Phobocosm

Phobocosm is a death metal band from Montreal, Canada that came to life in January 2008 shortly after S.D. (guitars) and J.S.G (drums) left their previous band and decided to form a new one. A few weeks later, E.B. joined the band as vocalist and bassist. R.M. later joined the band as second guitarist.

They will embark on a European tour in 2026 in support of their latest album, “Gateway”, released last November via Dark Descent Records. The album is both a continuation and an expansion of the band’s sound, an unrelenting exploration of atmosphere, dissonance, and decay that cements their place within the dark depths of death metal.

Since the release of “Deprived”, “Bringer of Drought” and “Foreordained”, Phobocosm has cultivated a sound rooted in suffocating darkness and tension, where crushing weight and bleak atmosphere coexist in constant unease. Their sound fuses dissonance, weight, and slow-burning tension into an atmosphere of utter desolation, a reflection of existential collapse rendered through sound.

Consecration

Local Doom/Death metallers, Consecration, were formed in 2010 and have since released 3 full length albums, as well as a few demos and EPs. They recently announced the release of their fourth album, “Exanimis”, to be released via Nuclear Winter Records in May.

The core of the band’s sound is rooted in the 90’s doom/death scene, as well as more orthodox, old school death metal passages. Expect gloomy and bleak atmosphere, crawling riffs accompanied by earth-shattering drums and deep growls of anguish, with the occasional burst of menacing death metal.
