Mutagenic Host - The Diseased Machine

Death Metal from London, England

On January 3rd, 2025 internationally, Mutagenic Host will release their highly anticipated debut album, The Diseased Machine. The album will be co-released by @gurglinggore (vinyl, cassette), @dry_cough_records (vinyl, cassette), and #MementoMori (CD). The CD version will be released on January 20th, 2025.

Mutagenic Host dive into a technological apocalypse, examining a world overshadowed by hypocritical, insidious, and murderous global powers. The band is deeply disillusioned with the traditional themes of death metal and hardcore, feeling that these subjects no longer capture the urgency of the present. Instead, Mutagenic Host tackle the modern-day spectres of complacency, apathy, and the looming threat of AI. Their work is an allegory for the systematic industrialisation of humanity’s eradication—whether by human hands or by the machines we create to snuff out life. In this narrative, the instruments of state use AI to monitor, control, and suppress the population, sounding a warning of impending doom through a fresh, intense lens in the death metal genre.
