Official Video for ‘Execution In Chaos’
For this new video we collaborated once more with camera man and video maker Abel Roland who previously did the video for ‘Divine Music, Unholy Flesh’ and the lyric video for ‘No God Without terror’. This new music video also presents bass player Stijn for the first time.
During the current lockdown in Belgium because of the pandemic, our bandcamp page and bigcartel page remain functioning.
New line-up!
After 5 years of hard work and warm friendship, Kurt Hermans has decided to leave Wound Collector. However, the friendship remains and we wish Kurt all the best in his future endeavours!
Here’s what Kurt has to say:
“Wound Collector is in my veins. Ever since Peter and myself first discussed its conception, it has been an integral part of who I was. This did not change and I am very proud of the music we made and there is an unmistakable connection between all involved. Nevertheless, after some soul searching I decided it was time to walk different paths. In essence, it comes down to the search for tranquility above all else. Will there be times when I regret this decision? Most probably. When the dust has settled on the current pandemic, I look forward to witnessing my first Wound Collector show from the audience as a number 1 fan and I am convinced they will have some amazing new music in store for us (correction: I already know they do).”
The current lockdown restricted the band from checking new candidates for bassduties. There were a lot of mails and videocalls involved, but only on the 10th of July we had the chance to come together and play music as a band.
Wound Collector proudly announces the joining of bass guru STIJN DELDAELE. Stijn has been playing the bass in many professional ensembles and bands such as Blunt and Mucho Gusto. He also recorded session bass for Spoil Engine’s “Stormsleeper”. Peter and Stijn met during their conservatory studies and hooked up in several bands ranging from disco, funk and latin to the heavy/thrash saxophone infused Wretched Vixen which broke up around 2009. Stijn’s return to the saxophonised death metal world was inevitable.

Video by Abel Roland
About the song: “The song depicts Italian Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina as a devote Catholic composer. According to the Council of Trento his music was to be considered the highest and purest form of Catholic music. However the 12 popes he served during his lifetime were all engaged in nepotism, the Inquisition, antisemitism and indulged in luxury.”
Artwork, tracklist & release date revealed
Finally here are the details of Wound Collector’s debut album “Eternal Bloodcult”.
Belgium’s epic saxophonised death metallers Wound Collector, are ready to release their full length debut album “Eternal Bloodcult” on the masses viaProfane Records. The foursome of Peter Verdonck (vocals / saxophone), Kurt Hermans (bass / vocals), Guy Van Campenhout (guitars / vocals) and Ben Van Peteghem (drums) mix an old school death metalvibe with modern accents, a hefty dose of saxophone, triple vocal attacks and progressively brutal songs into a whirlwind of death, negativity and hopelessness.
The music is diverse and challenging while maintaining that catchy vibe. Lyrically, the band centers their songs around moments in history that are often forgotten or neglected, thus unearthing them to a wider audience. The saxophone assaults are more than filler, as Wound Collector uses this instrument to its full potential, therefore becoming a necessary mainstay in all songs, be it in melody, rhyhtm or lead-shape.
The release of the album is scheduled for May 24th, 2018 through Profane Records!
Tracklist:
01.Worship Of The Aton
02. Bloodcult
03. Recapturing The Throne
