DEFORMATORY independently released their full length debut, In The Wake of Pestilence, in December of 2013. This pummeling 9-track beast has been exceptionally well-received by fans worldwide, and has been cited as being an "outstanding and monstrous debut album. Essential. (Frank Rini - AllAboutTheRock, ex: Internal Bleeding), and "flawless in every way" (TheBloodShed).
Having shared the stage with bands like Cryptopsy, Napalm Death, Obscura, Beyond Creation, Gorod, Nader Sadek, Archspire and Fuck The Facts, DEFORMATORY are more than comfortable delivering their crushing brand of extreme metal to live, screaming, and sweaty audiences.
The band is currently recording their second full length album entitled Malediction and is slotted for release in 2015 courtesy of CDN Records.
Apotheosis
Deformatory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feeding off the stench of human death
We've sowed this sordid site; the alpha of our dark infinity
Witness our ascension throughout aeons of your suffering
As your limbs detach from decay
Feel your dead soul escape
Escaping from the eidolon of paradise beyond
A misty black sweeps across the glimmer of the moon
The air withdraws into itself
The black dead skies doth rip in two, its echoed cry resounds
Far within the depths of god's inaugural memory
Saväel
Standing above, his hand motions all
To rise and be him; exalted as one
Immortal we ascend
Forever we shall reign in black
The left hand path, no turning back
Forever we shall defile the god
Who could not save himself from us
Upon the wretched fields of man, the dust of all that ever was
Centuries of atrophy await our reign as deities
Our crown is death
Surrounded by the agony that echoes through the lightless skies
Obscured by tears of cold dead blood that drip from all of the impaled
For we are supremacy
Eternal through all time and space
Extolled as the first uncreators
Of this dark eradication
The lyrics of Deformatory's song Apotheosis describe a dark, macabre scene of death and decay. The opening lines paint a picture of a world filled with piles of rotting flesh, and creatures that thrive off the stench of human death. The apocalyptic imagery continues with the description of a void descending, and the skies ripping apart, as a being named Saväel stands above, beckoning others to join him in ascending to immortality.
The song appears to be about the concept of apotheosis, which is the idea that humans can become gods. However, this is not a benevolent deity, but rather a dark, malevolent one that revels in death and destruction. The lyrics suggest that this is the ultimate goal of humanity, to become the rulers of a world that is obsessed with death and decay.
Overall, the lyrics of Apotheosis are incredibly dark and disturbing. They paint a picture of a world where death and decay are not just inevitable, but celebrated. The imagery is vivid and powerful, and the themes of godhood and immortality are explored in a truly terrifying way.

Weaving through the putrid piles of flesh
Moving through heaps of decaying bodies
And feeding off the stench of human death
Taking pleasure in the smell of death
We've sowed this sordid site; the alpha of our dark infinity
We've created this foul place; the beginning of our evil eternity
Witness our ascension throughout aeons of your suffering
See us rise over countless periods of your pain
As your limbs detach from decay
As your body falls apart from decay
Feel your dead soul escape
Experience your soul leaving your body
Escaping from the eidolon of paradise beyond
Leaving the illusion of a peaceful afterlife
The void descends
Darkness looms
A misty black sweeps across the glimmer of the moon
A dark haze covers the moon's light
The air withdraws into itself
The air becomes still and silent
The black dead skies doth rip in two, its echoed cry resounds
The dark, lifeless sky rips apart with a loud sound
Far within the depths of god's inaugural memory
In the distant memories of the beginning of creation
Saväel
Name of a supposed demonic figure
Standing above, his hand motions all
He overlooks everything, commanding all
To rise and be him; exalted as one
To become like him; elevated as equals
Immortal we ascend
We rise up, becoming immortal
Forever we shall reign in black
We shall rule forever in darkness
The left hand path, no turning back
We've chosen to follow the path of evil, there's no going back
Forever we shall defile the god
We will always desecrate divinity
Who could not save himself from us
God was unable to protect himself from our power
Upon the wretched fields of man, the dust of all that ever was
On the miserable land of humanity, the remnants of everything that ever existed
Centuries of atrophy await our reign as deities
Years of decay are waiting for us to rule as gods
Our crown is death
Our symbol of power is death
Surrounded by the agony that echoes through the lightless skies
Amid the suffering that reverberates through the dark, empty sky
Obscured by tears of cold dead blood that drip from all of the impaled
Obscured by tears of icy blood that flow from all the victims
For we are supremacy
We represent superiority
Eternal through all time and space
Perpetual throughout all of existence
Extolled as the first uncreators
Praised as the initial destroyers
Of this dark eradication
Of this cleansing darkness
