Austin, Texas death metal outfit Lord Gryphus have unleashed a new music video for “Troops of Doom,” a devastating bonus track from their debut full-length album Summoning the King of Death , released July 17, 2026.
The track delivers Lord Gryphus’ ferocious take on one of extreme metal’s most influential early anthems, originally written and performed by Sepultura for their legendary 1986 debut album Morbid Visions . Staying true to the raw aggression and primitive energy of the original, Lord Gryphus transform the classic track through their own ritualistic and uncompromising death metal vision.
The cover features guest appearances from Reese Alavi of Creeping Death on vocals and Mike De León (Flesh Hoarder / Soulfly) with a blistering guest guitar solo, adding further intensity to this tribute to one of metal’s foundational moments.
The accompanying video brings the concept of Summoning the King of Death to life, following the album’s ritualistic themes as Reese Alavi and Mike De León are summoned through flames before the video transitions into a live performance from Lord Gryphus, capturing the band’s raw energy and ceremonial atmosphere.
“Troops of Doom” represents a salute to the pioneers who helped define extreme metal while honoring the underground spirit that continues to drive the genre forward.
Formed as an anonymous masked three-piece, Lord Gryphus channel the darkness and aggression of classic death metal while building their own mythology around execution, sacrifice, and devotion to the carrion deity Lord Gryphus, inspired by Vultur gryphus , the Andean condor and a symbol connected to death, transcendence, and spiritual power.
Their debut album Summoning the King of Death delivers a crushing blend of old-school death metal brutality, oppressive atmosphere, and ritualistic intensity. Drawing influence from legendary acts including Morbid Angel, Gorefest, Sepultura, Grave, Autopsy, Incantation, and Sinister , the band creates a sound rooted in the savage spirit of the early extreme metal underground.
Lyrically, the album explores themes of colonial violence, cultural erasure, imposed religion, ancestral traditions, and forgotten histories, creating a release that is as conceptual as it is confrontational.
Summoning the King of Death was recorded at Red Nova Ranch in Bastrop, Texas , with Jeff Henson handling tracking, reamping, guitars, and bass. Vocals were recorded and produced by Kike Valderrama at Buziraco's Lair Studio . The album was mixed and mastered by Andrés Mauricio Gallón at Sound Blast Studios in Armenia, Colombia .
Lord Gryphus also recently brought their ceremonial brand of destruction to the stage alongside legendary death metal veterans Internal Suffering during select dates of their 30th Anniversary North American Tour .
