Ohio’s one‑woman brutal death metal force Cordyceps Corpse returns with another blast of chaos, filth, and technical savagery. Today, multi‑instrumentalist Nani Porter unveils “Ishmael’s Demise”, the second single from the upcoming third full‑length “Perverse Craving For Rotting Corpses,” due out on October 9th, 2026 through Gore House Productions.
Cordyceps Corpse began as a raw, impulsive act of rebellion. After years of producing beats for others, Porter decided they were done waiting for a band to form. “Fuck it, I’ll do it myself,” Porter said, and the project erupted in late 2023 with its first single. Since then, Cordyceps Corpse carved out a reputation for fast, brutal, gross, gruesome family fun delivered with total DIY ferocity.
With “Perverse Craving For Rotting Corpses,” Cordyceps Corpse pushes their sound further into the 90s/2000s brutal death metal era, blending chaotic speed, grotesque slam riffs, and unexpected technicality into a cinematic, horror‑driven experience. Cordyceps Corpse wrote 26 songs in a month and a half, ultimately distilling the madness into 11 tracks that feel like watching a deeply disturbing movie unfold in real time.
Built around one of Cordyceps Corpse’s favorite riffs on the album, “Ishmael’s Demise” showcases a sharpened approach to contrast, structure, and technical brutality. While not sharing the lyrics publicly, the track’s title comes from a real‑life encounter with a violent individual who threatened them and a partner, a moment of fear transmuted into pure sonic vengeance.
Lyrically, “Perverse Craving For Rotting Corpses” marks a major shift. Cordyceps Corpse wrote full, disturbing narratives inspired by crime interrogation footage, horror films, Darby Valentine, and the grim psychology of figures like Aileen Wuornos. The album follows a supernatural, Glock‑loving, cannibalistic misandrist woman, a twisted diary of violence, empowerment, and grotesque transformation.
“I want this album to feel like you’re watching a really f*cked‑up movie.”

CORDYCEPS CORPSE REVIEWS & MENTIONS
“The solo project of multi-instrumentalist and deathgrind visionary Nani, Cordyceps Corpse delivers a grotesque cocktail of guttural slam, sludged-out goregrind, and DIY fury” – Necrozine
“a one-woman slam/goregrind wrecking ball spilling over with disgusting grooves, guttural violence, and Nani’s fully unhinged DIY vision. It’s her rawest, most chaotic statement yet, now upgraded with live drums, sharper production, and a brand new video for the title track that leans hard into the project’s anti-authority, horror-splattered energy. If you’re into thick Devourment-style slam filtered through a solo creator who writes, records, mixes, masters, designs, and performs everything herself, this reissue is worth diving into — chaotic, filthy, and completely owned from the ground up.” – IDIOTEQ
“In Slam / Brutal Death it is often the case that there is only one man behind it, but this is Nani Porter, a woman who takes care of everything. After a few singles and EPs, the lady presents her debut and a sample part gets tough, but not so quickly. The snare is set just right for me on the drum machine and you can hear it stapling wonderfully. I also think it’s great that the woman gets so deep with her voice and in the end there’s a lot of shooting. „From Flesh to Fluids“ starts at a crisp up pace and then bludgeons like crazy and Nani’s gargling is so intense that it almost ends in squeals. „Decapitation“ pushes forward properly before continuing at a pressing mid/slam pace and then sprinkling in a few shooting parts. „Slowly Poisoned“ lives up to its name because it is a tough and crawling track, after which „Battery Acid Enema“ is also played rather clumsily, But here and there it also goes up a gear. „Stomach Bile for Miles“ starts like a battlefield, but then drops more and more with clever breaks. We find rich stomping and robust riffs in „Family Photo with Hella Cadavers“, which then arrives at a crawling pace and rough squeals. „Left Over Limbs for Later“ is pure slam death, there’s a lot of crawling going on here, the coarse vocals have power and power that it gets through your bones. „Tools for Torture“ also holds back when it comes to tempo, but when it comes to brutality the track is high up and in the end „“Skin Tortilla“ is a really crushing song. For me, what the lady is pulling out of the hat is strong” – FFM-Rock
