Brazilian Death Metal Veterans Unleash Three Tracks of Crushing Extremity on July 17, 2026
Genre: Brutal Death Metal
For Fans Of: Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel, Krisiun
After a ten-year absence from the scene, Brazilian brutal death metal force Laconist returns with their devastating new EP, Where Being Ends, I Begin , arriving July 17, 2026. The release marks a powerful new chapter for a band built on the foundation of uncompromising aggression, technical precision, and a deep respect for the extreme metal pioneers that shaped their sound.
Founded in 2007 by A. Neil, Laconist was created with the mission of honoring influential acts such as Angelcorpse, Centurian, and Hate Eternal while forging their own path within the brutal death metal underground. During their early years, the band released two full-length albums, one demo, and one EP before entering a decade-long hiatus in 2016.
Now, Laconist has returned with a renewed lineup and a sharpened vision. A. Neil remains the sole original member, joined by Zé Misanthrope, who has helped redefine and expand the band’s legacy within the brutal death metal scene. To capture the intensity and power required for this comeback, the band enlisted Felipe Veiga as a session drummer to perform all drum parts on the new recording.
Recorded between October 2025 and April 2026, Where Being Ends, I Begin delivers three relentless tracks of savage riffs, crushing rhythms, and extreme vocal brutality. The EP was mixed by Zé Misanthrope and mastered by Cássio Zambotto, ensuring a massive and punishing production that matches the band’s return after ten years away.
Adding even more firepower to the release, the track “Vermiforming” features a special guest vocal appearance by Kyle Ball of Lysergic and former member of Wake and Kataplexis, bringing another layer of intensity to an already devastating offering.
“After a 10-year hiatus, Laconist returns to the battlefield with a new chapter of Brazilian death metal brutality. Where Being Ends, I Begin represents the rebirth of the band and the continuation of a legacy built on extreme music.”
Currently unsigned, Laconist is also working on their next full-length album and is seeking a label partner interested in helping bring their next evolution of brutality to a wider audience.
Where Being Ends, I Begin will be available on all major digital platforms on July 17, 2026 .

Courtney Love has emerged as one of the loudest cheerleaders for the English national men’s football team at this summer’s FIFA World Cup, comparing their recent 3-2 win over Mexico to the experience of seeing The Clash and The Rolling Stones play live at the peak of their powers.
Former Hole leader Love has long been an Anglophile, championing British bands, artists and writers, has been resident in England since 2019, and recently revealed that she has applied for British citizenship. Even so, for those who view her as one of the most inspirational ‘faces’ and personalities of the ’90s US alternative rock, it’s something of a surprise to see her conversion into a diehard ‘soccer’ fan.
“the heart wants what the heart wants,” Love posted on Instagram ahead of the Mexico vs England clash on July 6, waving an England flag while sitting in her car listening to Three Lions, the popular terrace anthem originally released by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, and The Lightning Seeds in 1996. “I’m from California . But I NEED! England to bring it home.”
Post-game, in an Instagram reel that seems to have now been deleted, Love hailed the match at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City as “the greatest.”
“It wasn’t a football game, it was The Clash in 1977!” she gushes, “It was what I read about the Rolling Stones in 1970, it was like blood on the fucking stage, it was so fucking good.”
Love went on to say that “that team better do it again in Miami”, referring to England’s upcoming quarter-final match against Norway on July 11, before adding, “if nothing else happens, that was enough.”
“Oh my god, I’m a convert,” Love adds. “They won no matter what.”
Taking on the spirit of England’s German manager Thomas Tuchel, Love then cautions against the team collecting bookings in the next game, mindful that Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi and Nico O’Reilly all face the prospect of being suspended for the tournament sem-final should they a) pick up another yellow card and b) triumph over Norway.
Back to channelling her inner Gary Neville, Love signs off by describing the win over Mexico as “amazing, so beautiful, the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in years.”
“England, I love you,” she concludes, “I love you a lot. Bye, bye, beautiful team.”
