GROTESQUERIES are returning with a new EP, “Nightmare Delirium”, following their album “Vile Crematory”, released three years ago. Announced by Caligari Records, the four-track release marks a new phase for the band while also introducing a lineup change.

Across its 16-minute runtime, “Nightmare Delirium” sees GROTESQUERIES operating as a two-piece. Founder Yianni Tranxidis continues to handle drums and vocals, while COFFIN BIRTH member Anthony Paulini takes over bass and guitar duties. The new lineup maintains the approach established on the band's previous album, continuing along an old-school death metal path drawing equally from the American and European traditions.

“Nightmare Delirium” centers on manipulation, fear, and the effects of malicious intent on the human mind. These themes, as reflected in the EP's title, form the narrative axis of the band's new material. The four-track release closes with a cover of the CANNIBAL CORPSE classic ‘Gutted’.
