New Zealand blackened death metal force VAEOVON are set to unleash their devastating debut full-length ‚Spiritual Nullification‘ on April 20, 2026, via GUTTER PRINCE CABAL — a relentless sonic assault that draws comparisons to DIOCLETIAN, ANTICHRIST SIEGE MACHINE, and TEITANBLOOD.Emerging from New Zealand with a sound forged in pure velocity and violence, VAEOVON have announced their debut album, Spiritual Nullification, due for release on April 20, 2026, via GUTTER PRINCE CABAL.
With Spiritual Nullification, VAEOVON deliver a relentless assault of lightning-fast, razor-sharp blackened death metal that is bewildering in its intensity. Propelled by retching vocals and relentless blasting that only briefly relents to sink the knife in deeper, the album unfolds as a vortex of frenzied riffing that seems to rip sinew from bone. The result feels like a speed run through hell while being dragged behind an unstoppable daemon engine — violent, suffocating, and utterly uncompromising.
The album was recorded throughout 2024, with vocals tracked at Funeral Studios and all instruments captured at Ifrit Productions. Mixing, mastering, and the album’s ambient passages were handled by Oli Smith. Cover artwork was created by Warhead Art, with additional artwork by AS.
With their debut full-length, VAEOVON establish themselves firmly within the lineage of savage and uncompromising extreme metal, delivering a record that prioritises intensity, speed, and destructive intent above all else. Fans of DIOCLETIAN, ANTICHRIST SIEGE MACHINE, TEITANBLOOD, Angelcorpse, Black Witchery, and Rites of Thy Degringolade will find much to devour here.
