Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship, the pioneering force in the anime slam and brutal death metal scene, is once again primed to demolish musical boundaries with their new single “Brutal Panzer”. This track is a taste of what’s in store from the band’s second full-length, which comes out in 2025 (Release Date TBD) on Stillbirth Records, a subsidiary of Gore House Productions. The band comments on the track:
“This song was inspired by the anime ‘Girls und Panzer’. We love the military otaku culture in the anime, so we created a song with cute melodies, but still brutal, just like the characters in the anime who are kawaii girls but drive tanks into battle. This is the second single we released for our new album. It returns to some of our 2016 styles, but also includes many new ideas.”
“Brutal Panzer” draws direct inspiration from the anime series Girls und Panzer, exemplifying the band’s commitment to creating more than just a musical gimmick. According to Kiryu, the single represents the band’s evolving mission to integrate anime culture into their music authentically.
Founded in 2014 by lead vocalist Kiryu Zhang, Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship has consistently pushed the limits of extreme music, creating a groundbreaking sound that defies traditional genre constraints.
With lyrics in both Japanese and English, Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship blends the intensity of brutal death metal with the vibrant aesthetics of anime culture. They are recommended for fans of Ingested, Hanabie, and Vulvodynia.

About:
Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship was founded in 2014 by lead vocalist Kiryu Zhang. The initial lineup included Kiryu Zhang, Itsuca, composer Khezk, guitarist Senjougahara Yousei, and guitarist Nibiru. In 2016, the band completed their debut EP “μ’Sick” and released it on Bandcamp and the Slam Worldwide channel. They also used this EP to participate in Japan’s largest doujinshi market, Comiket Market, where it received excellent feedback. Following this success, the band signed with Stillbirth Records to prepare for future releases. The EP has since accumulated over two million streams on Spotify.
In 2018, the band was invited by the American grindcore band Cheerleader Concubine to collaborate on an eight-track split album. However, due to personal commitments, most of the original members, except Kiryu Zhang and Khezk, left the band. Despite this setback, the band continued to compose new material and eventually found a new guitarist, Jiakang Hu, in 2019. With the new lineup, Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship completed their first full-length album, which was released in 2023.
In 2024, the band welcomed Zen on bass and Derek on drums, solidifying the current lineup. Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship embarked on the “Brutal Impact” China tour and participated in numerous indoor music festivals across China.

“China’s Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship took the internet by storm with their debut EP μ’Sick.” – MetalSucks
“Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship made a mark on the metal community with head-spinning brutality accompanied” – Unite Asia
