"All hail the new kings of the British Metal Underground!" - KERRANG!
In the pillared city of Ur, the horns of misfortune resound. Men cry war from mountainous battlements,
bladed chariots muster in their thousands and common men beg the mercy of pitiless
Gods. This is the essence of Sarpanitum: an unstoppable siege-engine of blackened death forged
in the cradle of civilisation.
Sarpanitum formed in Birmingham, England A.D. 2003, beneath the vigilant gaze of band hierophant
Andy Techakosit. Rooted in self-acquired lore of Ancient Babylonia, Sumeria and Akkadia, the
founder could do little but translate his fascination with mythology and ancient civilisation into
music - the rightful medium for the Mesopotamian epic, Despoilment Of Origin. Plagued by terrible
omens and numerous lineup changes, Techakosit (vocals / bass) would soon find staunch musical
allies and Despoilment Of Origin is the fruit of their slaving labour; an eloquently guttural performance
of mythological blackened death metal that leaves only ashes in its wake.
Their achievements as an unsigned, young band have been nothing short of glorious and led
them to sign with Galactic Records. Having appeared with monumental entities including
Decapitated, Insision, Visceral Bleeding and Macabre, they earned a slot at the annual Neurotic
Records Deathfest in 2006 in Eindhoven, Holland, a high-profile event for the world's most prestigious
death-metal warlords. Side-by-side with the likes of Psycroptic, Insidious Decrepancy,
Gorerotted, Avulsed and Prostitute Disfigurement, Sarpanitum tasted bloody triumph at what can
only be described as one of death metal's most barbaric live events. Following brutal military subjugation,
Kerrang! Magazine declared Sarpanitum "The new kings of the British Metal Underground,"and clearly submitted to extortionate tribute with their astounding KKKK live review. Masterful. Archaic. Decadent.

"… Having spent the last couple of years gaining a reputation as one of the UK's finest death metal outfits thanks to their bulldozering live power, it's hardly surprising that Sarpanitum's debut slays with such ferocity you are left worrying that the sheer intensity will tear your speakers to shreds…“ - Kerrang
"Sarpanitum aren't standing in anyone's shadow when it comes to the music. Capturing the heaviness of the likes of Immolation and melding it with the catchy ferocity of Melechesh, Sarpanitum have gone a long way to forging their own sound. As debut's go, that's pretty damn impressive.“ - Zero Tolerance
"Arguably the best death metal debut to come out of England in some years... a highly impressive slab of brutal yet intelligent death metal that warrants your attention right now.“ - Digital Metal

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
