The wait is finally over for fans of brutal old-school death metal. Burial Extraction, the Texas-based death metal band, has just dropped their latest single, "The Overseer," recorded once again at the renowned Corzine Studio by producer and multi-instrumentalist Derek Corzine. This new track perfectly showcases the sonic direction for their upcoming EP, promising a devastating blend of melodic and old-school death metal that will leave your skull pulverized.
Burial Extraction is known for their unapologetically brutal old-school style, self-described by the band as "brutal oldschool metal." The duo, composed of vocalist/guitarist/bassist Brian Lyda and drummer/guitarist/producer Derek Corzine (also of Blood Thirsty and Crowned In Sorrow), are veterans in the extreme metal scene. Their music channels the raw intensity and groove of death metal pioneers like Obituary, Death, and early Mortification, delivering tracks that rage with ferocity and a haunting melody.
"The Overseer" was released on June 6th, 2025, through The Charon Collective label and is available on all major streaming platforms. The single was meticulously recorded and produced at Corzine Studio, a place known for its high-quality metal productions, with Derek Corzine’s expert touch shaping the sound to brutal perfection.
Fans can expect the upcoming EP, tentatively titled "Rotting Flesh," to continue this sonic assault with five tracks of heavy, melodic death metal brutality. Burial Extraction’s sound is a rare blend of old-school death metal’s rawness and the melodic sensibilities that keep the genre fresh and engaging in 2025. The band's commitment to the genre’s roots combined with modern production techniques makes their releases stand out in a crowded metal scene.
For those who crave the relentless riffs, crushing drums, and guttural vocals that define brutal old-school death metal, "The Overseer" is a must-listen. Burial Extraction proves once again why they are a force to be reckoned with in the metal underground.
