Auckland, New Zealand-based unorthodox death metal act Ulcerate was formed by guitarist Michael Hoggard and drummer Jamie Saint Merat in 2000. With the aim of creating dark oppressive death metal, Ulcerate has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Inspired by bands such as Defeated Sanity, Spawn of Possession, and Gorguts, Ulcerate's unique sound pushes the boundaries of traditional death metal. Their music is characterized by complex song structures, dissonant guitar riffs, and intense drumming that captivates listeners.

Having shared stages with renowned acts like Deeds of Flesh, Origin, and Hate Eternal, Ulcerate has gained a loyal following worldwide. Their atmospheric and haunting compositions have earned them critical acclaim within the underground metal scene.

Forward-thinking, unorthodox New Zealand death metal trio Ulcerate return with their latest masterwork Shrines Of Paralysis, a flawless continuation of the band's signature sonic philosophy. Shrines Of Paralysis spans eight tracks of singular death metal, incorporating a wider range of styles and ideas than ever before. Influences both within and beyond metal abound: organic, inventive phrasings and novel compositional techniques round out a thundering package of death, doom, and black metal stylings. As is characteristic of the band, Shrines Of Paralysis is about much more than just the music. The production, themes, and atmosphere all shape Ulcerate's music, and help guide the way through a highly evocative palette of dark and light passages, subtly dramatic rhythmic manipulation, and unparalleled technical heaviness. The band's most cohesive and powerful release to date.
