US death/thrash metal outfit Ninth Realm are preparing to make a bold entrance into the extreme metal scene with their debut full-length album, Damnation's Veil. The band have already begun turning heads thanks to two newly released tracks from the record, accompanied by an official music video.

Building upon a foundation of death/thrash metal while incorporating elements of hardcore and traditional heavy metal, Ninth Realm reinforce their aggressive sound with strong songwriting. The compositions are shaped by dense riff work, memorable transitions, and punishing rhythms, occasionally enveloped in a dark atmosphere. While drawing inspiration from the classic death/thrash tradition, the band display an approach that successfully establishes its own identity.

The album's lyrical and thematic framework revolves around Tythorin, the band's original dark fantasy universe. This narrative world merges with the music's hostile nature, giving the record a cohesive character. Interpreting the spirit of old-school death/thrash through a modern lens, Damnation's Veil aims to appeal both to listeners who remain devoted to the genre's roots and to extreme metal fans seeking strong, well-crafted compositions.

Ninth Realm's lineup consists of Amelia Morris on bass, Charles House on rhythm guitar, Ben Hageage on vocals, Joey Burke on drums, and Liam McMahon on lead guitar. The album artwork was created by Jerry “Wyrmwalk” Hionis, known for his work with Maul and Celestial Sanctuary.
