Hot on the heels of their psychotic, delirium-inducing debut EP Non Compos Mentis, Australian death-metal outfit Hebephrenique returns with another dose of mental disintegration in the form of their first full-length album, Decathexis.
Out August 23rd, via Gutter Prince Cabal and Brilliant Emperor Records, the album expands their warped fusion of dissonant death metal, industrial black metal, and sheer emotional chaos.
Think Gorguts by way of Mayhem, filtered through Anaal Nathrakh’s violent theatrics and a heavy dose of dystopian dread.

Decathexis is a whirlwind of spite-fueled vocals, mechanical precision, and hypnotic ambience, anchored by songwriting that hurts as much as it surprises. It’s more technical, more aggressive, and somehow even more unstable than their acclaimed EP, a deeper dive into madness and alienation.
