Akercocke is a British Death Metal band with influences from Black Metal, Progressive Rock, and Electronic music. Formed in 1997 in London, England by David Gray and Jason Mendonca, the band has gained attention for their controversial use of sexual and satanic imagery and themes.

Despite a period of hiatus, Akercocke surprised fans with a reunion in 2016. They released a new song titled 'Inner Sanctum' on YouTube and announced their first UK tour since reforming. Their new studio album 'Renaissance in Extremis' is set to be released in 2016, marking their first release in nine years.

With similarities to artists such as *Anaal Nathrakh*, *Melechesh*, and *Zyklon*, Akercocke continues to push boundaries within the metal genre while captivating audiences with their unique blend of influences.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout the years, Akercocke has become known for its savage & prodigious live work. And now, with a stunningly produced & meticulously delivered torrent of high-octane blackened death metal captured live in at the Underworld in London in 2007, Akercocke blast through a collection of tracks lifted from the classic debut, 'Rape Of The Bastard Nazarene' & follow-up album 'The Goat Of Mendes' for a night of pure satanic magic with 'Decades Of Devil Worship', a hellish & eclectic journey through the ritualistic & the profane.Towering above most nefarious contemporary noisemakers, London's Akercocke erupted across the consciousness of the UK metal scene in the late '90's, wielding a fiendishly inventive blend of death, black & progressive metal. Their distinctive, smartly-dressed demeanour & eloquent preoccupation with all things dark & Satanic marked them out both as ferociously individual artists & enlightened students of the pitch-black sonic code. Immediately embraced by the British faithful upon the release of debut album 'Rape Of The Bastard Nazarene', Akercocke spent the following decade leading the creative charge for their entire native scene.Akercocke received widespread acclaim for follow-up album 'The Goat Of Mendes' (Peaceville, 2001) & despite enjoying furious momentum over the following years, the release of fifth album 'Antichrist' in 2007 signalled the end of the first chapter of the Akercocke story, when the band retreated into the shadows & remained dormant for the best part of a decade until a triumphant return was marked with the stellar Peaceville return, 'Renaissance In Extremis', released in 2017.This edition of 'Decades Of Devil Worship' is presented on black vinyl with printed inner sleeve.
