Maryland-based Death/Thrash crew, Ninth Realm, will release their sophomore album, Damnation's Veil, on August 28 via Transcending Obscurity Records.
Damnation’s Veil is a consistent blend of death-thrash, metallic hardcore, black metal, and traditional heavy metal. The album will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
Tracked between April-July 2025, the production process for Damnation's Veil was split between recording drums, guitars and bass with Matthew Michel at Viva Studios (Goetia, Antichrist Siege Machine, Infant Island, Left Cross, Blood Monolith) in Fairfax, VA, while vocals were handled by Sebastian Philips (Exhumed, Mammoth Grinder) at his home studio in Dundalk, MD.
Ninth Realm is a death-thrash band founded in Maryland and the surrounding DMV area. Formed in 2019, the band has released six individual recordings, including a demo, two EPs, a promo tape, and a full-length album, as well as several splits and compilations with other bands. Drummer Joey Burke and lead guitarist Liam McMahon started the project while in college at the University of Maryland.
Conceptually, the band draws from Joey’s original dark fantasy world, Tythorin – a setting shaped by themes of vengeance, fate, grief, trauma, and the indomitable willpower of the human spirit.
