Quebec City, Canada’s Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OxE) is excited to announce the physical release (Cassette / CD) of their latest EP “The Fallen Lament” available as of August 9, 2024, from Stillbirth Records / Gore House Productions (SBR is a GHP sublabel). Fans can now get their hands on this highly anticipated record, featuring the band’s signature blend of brutal death metal and cosmic horror themes. With artwork done by The Popuko and lyrics detailed in the booklet, this is a sleek addition to any brutal collection. Vocalist Jesse Agiomamitis comments:
“Playing this style of music does lend itself to writing lyrics with darker themes than most other genres, but I’m not afraid to write some lyrics that you might not typically see in our genre. A lot of the lyrics on this record may seem superficial and seemingly not serve a purpose beyond being some words in a booklet, but there are quite a few tracks on this record where what I’m saying has some deeper meaning to me personally, once you strip that veil of obscurity.”
This record marks the longest gap between releases for OxE, which isn’t something they had in mind, but great art can’t be rushed out the door. They are certain that this record will be everything fans have wanted and then some because it certainly was for them.
“The Fallen Lament” EP showcases artwork by The Popuko, who captures the essence of the music’s dark and intricate themes. The album reflects a fascination with the concept of a newborn calamity, brought forth by stranger machinations unbeknownst to us. It’s a cosmic horror vibe, suitable for fans of Deathspell Omega, Defeated Sanity, and Enmity.
“The Fallen Lament” is available on CD, Cassette, and digitally from Stillbirth Records / Gore House Productions at https://orcd.co/the-fallen-lament

“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
“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 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
“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
“primal and brutal variety of dramatic and booming extreme metal ” – The Viking in the Wilderness
“Brutal gore death grind metal with pig squeally vox” – 89.9 WORT FM – The Moshpit (Madison, WI)
