Stillbirth Records / Gore House Productions proudly presents “Gutted & Corpsed,” the second single from apocalyptic brutal death metal entity Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OxE). The track follows the pulverizing first single “Hurt Beyond Healing,” offering another glimpse into the dissonant, experimental, and violently immersive world of the band’s upcoming full‑length “Fugue Gnawed from the Scabbed God Cerebrum,” out April 3rd, 2026.
Where “Hurt Beyond Healing” delivered a “standard ass‑beater” of frantic riffs and chaotic vocal assaults, “Gutted & Corpsed” dives deeper into OxE’s alien sonic architecture. The track erupts with relentless blasting and subterranean gurgles before collapsing into a nightmarish mid‑section, “like a portal to the underworld has been opened,” as the band describes it. Angular riffs, unearthly shrieks, and warped textures pull the listener into a disorienting void before the song returns to its opening barrage with renewed ferocity. Lyrically, it pushes the album’s overarching theme of cosmic annihilation forward, delivered through OxE’s signature cryptic, imagery‑driven writing style.
“We chose this as one of our singles because it’s relatively straightforward compared to what people can expect elsewhere on the LP. But some of our weirder elements are still present in both our first single Hurt Beyond Healing and now this second Gutted & Corpsed,” says vocalist Jesse Agiomamitis.

“Fugue Gnawed from the Scabbed God Cerebrum” marks OxE’s most ambitious and experimental release to date. Musically, the album is a labyrinth of dissonant brutality, warped synths, and organic instrumentation, subjected to “various levels of sonic destruction,” creating an alien, otherworldly soundscape. German multi‑instrumentalist The Popu cites Nithing, Agonal Hymns, and Dripping’s “Disintegration of Thought Patterns During A Synthetic Mind Traveling Bliss” as major influences on the LP’s sonic identity. Lyrically, the album follows a cryptic narrative centered around a cosmic “godslayer” on a universe‑shattering rampage, an allegory for inner turmoil, mental illness, and existential collapse.
“Start‑to‑finish, the album is dissonant, punishing, and disorienting. The character and his actions mirror the overall feeling of the album: cold, calculated, and violent,” adds Jesse.
The album’s artwork, created by the renowned Mei Maro, weaves together mythological, folkloric, and personal influences into a single grotesque vision that reflects the band’s thematic obsessions.
Recommended for fans of Deathspell Omega, Disentomb, Artificial Brain, First Fragment, Disgorge, and Ulcerate, OxE‘s “Fugue Gnawed from the Scabbed God Cerebrum” is their longest and most refined release yet: no filler, no restraint, and no compromise.

Formed in Quebec City, Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy began as a solo project by guitarist Alice Simard before evolving into a multinational trio with the addition of Australian vocalist Jesse Agiomamitis and German multi‑instrumentalist The Popu. Their sound, described in five words as Inhuman, Unnerving, Calculated, Chaotic, Apocalyptic, draws from brutal death metal, black metal, avant‑garde experimentation, and influences ranging from Dark Souls to Berserk to real‑world mythology.

“It’s brutal as fuck, but it’s also explores the entire bouquet of sick creativity extreme music has to offer. The Fallen Lament is fun. It’s violent and it loves to blur boundaries between already scummy, disgusting genres.” – Vox & Hops Metal Podcast (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“This EP is definitely for the lovers of the extreme – fans of Deathspell Omega, Defeated Sanity, and Ulcerate will dig the fuck out of this record. So will fans of Dehumanizing Itatrian Worship, whose Kiryu Zhang contributes vocals on the last track of the EP, ‘Facial Gutting’. 9/10” – Ever Metal (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“The tracks revolve around blast beats and slams with some truly impressive breakdowns on display. Lyrics are themed around many different influences including mental health issues that have plagued the bands members, anime and video games making for an interesting read. In essence this EP provides a really promising preview of things to come for this band, who have the potential based on this evidence of creating something special.” – The Razor’s Edge (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“OxE are a different beast, very heavy and extreme but different to most bands of this ilk. The best way to describe them would be like Mortician, but with slam riffs! They have that downtuned bass that trawls the depths of hell with its tone and razor-sharp guitars, frantic programmed drums and some seriously deranged vocals. The tracks are short and sweet, the whole EP only goes on for ten minutes twenty one secs but in that time, you feel so bludgeoned and battered listening to it that it feels much longer, almost like you are succumbing to some exquisite torture!| – The Razor’s Edge (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“What’s cool here is when the music slows down almost to a crawl and sounds creepy as fuck, with a horror/suspense-like feeling that’s not without reminding me of some of the most disgusting episodes of the X-Files when they had some kind of monster eating its victims or what have you, and you can probably throw in a few horror B-movies in there as well. The Fallen Lament is kind of chaotic and dissonant and certainly sets itself apart in the sea of brutal death metal releases out there. 4/5” – The MetalCrypt (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“primal and brutal variety of dramatic and booming extreme metal ” – The Viking in the Wilderness (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“Brutal gore death grind metal with pig squeally vox” – 89.9 WORT FM – The Moshpit (Madison, WI) (The Fall Lament – 2024)
“It’s been a long time since I heard anything like this mentioned, and the truth is that I haven’t been disappointed. Those from Canada bring us the best formula to execute it. This is based on being as heavy as they are fluid, without giving up the occasional surprise in the form of extra convolutions, which, by the way, fits like a glove. I was extremely grateful that they didn’t focus on composing ultra-heavy and simplistic «ruido» with little direction twist like many others do, reminding us once again that Slam can be rich in nuances within its borders.” – Broken Tomb (The Fall Lament – 2024)
