“Six Feet Of Sodomy” - ECDYSIS

Adelaide’s ECDYSIS isn’t here to gently introduce themselves. With their latest stand-alone single “Six Feet Of Sodomy”, the trio has kicked down the door of the Australian metal scene with a sound that’s as violent as the title suggests, equal parts sharpened melody and unrelenting filth.

Formed in 2022, Ecdysis wasted no time making their presence known. Their debut EP Hex was a solid introduction - dark, textured, and undeniably heavy, but “Six Feet Of Sodomy” takes things several steps further. It’s a sonic escalation. More focused, more feral, and unapologetically offensive in all the right ways.

From the first note, “Six Feet Of Sodomy” launches into a savage, grinding rhythm that feels like a belt sander to the ears. Sid Paech’s guitar tone is thick and jagged, like being chewed on by a cement mixer, and his vocals sound like they’ve been dragged up from the earth’s crust. There’s real venom in his delivery - less performative growl, more guttural exorcism. You believe every word, even when you’re not sure if you want to.

Lyrically, this track isn’t for the faint-hearted, or anyone with a stick up their arse. The song doesn’t tiptoe around taboo, it jackhammers through it with all the grace of a drunk bricklayer. But behind the provocation is control. The band’s use of shock isn’t gimmicky, it’s intentional. It forces you to confront discomfort and dig into the deeper rot beneath the surface, like peeling back flesh to get to the bone.

The rhythm section, Thomas Boyd on bass and Tom Allevi on drums - deserves serious praise. Allevi’s drumming is precise but chaotic, with blast beats and tempo shifts that feel like you’re being mugged in a dark alley by a jazz-trained demon. Boyd’s bass tone rumbles beneath it all like a collapsing building, low, punishing, and inescapable.

Production-wise, “Six Feet Of Sodomy” is raw but balanced. It doesn’t sound over-polished, and that’s a good thing. It retains the grime and sweat that gives death metal its bite, but each instrument still cuts through. There’s clarity in the chaos, and that makes the track hit even harder.

Ecdysis is doing what many bands take years to figure out - refining their voice, pushing boundaries, and delivering it all with a middle finger in the air. “Six Feet Of Sodomy” is a bold, brutal statement from a band that clearly has no intention of playing it safe… thank fuck for that.
