‘Death March’ introduces MNEMOCIDE’s forthcoming album Kingdom of Filth through a lyric video and a digital single available on streaming services. The Basel-region death metal band will release the full-length on January 9, 2027, through Fetzner Death Records.
The ten-track album centers on deception and propaganda in a world marked by greed, depravity, chaos and hate. Its musical approach combines groove-driven death metal, heavy riffs, forceful drumming and deep vocals with melodic elements. The announcement describes the songs as raw but tightly focused.
Christoph Brandes handled recording, mixing and mastering at Iguana Studio. Daroc, who contributes samples and backing vocals to MNEMOCIDE, created the artwork and is also credited for the band photograph. Pre-orders are available through the label in CD, cassette and LP formats, with an album page also supplied on Fetzner Death Records’ Bandcamp.

MNEMOCIDE formed in 2017 with five musicians who had previously worked together in other band projects. The group expanded to a sextet in 2020. Its current lineup comprises Matthias on vocals, Richy and Martin on guitars, Daroc on samples and backing vocals, Andreas on bass and Laurent on drums.
The independently released Debris EP arrived in 2018 as the band’s first official release. Debut full-length Feeding The Vultures followed in spring 2020 through Czar of Crickets Productions. Those records and Kingdom of Filth were recorded at Iguana Studios near Freiburg and produced by Brandes, whose credits also include Thron, The Spirit, Unlight, Necrophagist and Finsterforst.
Alongside club shows, MNEMOCIDE’s past festival appearances include BScene Basel, Freakout Festival, Headbanger’s Ball, the Meh Suff Winter and Summer Festivals, and Z7 Wild Dayz.
The band explains its name as a combination of the Greek ‘mnēmoniká’ for memory and the Latin ‘caedere’ for killing or murder, conveying ‘memory murder’ or the erasure of collective memory.
