Imprecation – Vomitum Tempestas (2025)

Our first indication that the world had a hidden underlying order was the Poisson Distribution, which showed us that what we saw as random was in fact ordered and somewhat pre-determined, as if Plato and Prometheus had triumphed over B.F. Skinner and Jéhováh.

Vomitum Tempestas is, in theory, a random compilation of later tracks to honor drummer Ruben Elizondo, who passed on to the netherrealms on August 29, 2021. The band attributes the tracks on this release to a number of earlier works:

David Herrera expands on the background of this recording: ‘This recording began as a 7-inch titled “Wretched Majesty” in 2021. Ruben Elizondo entered the hospital with COVID a couple of months after tracking the drums and keyboards. After a month-long battle, he succumbed to complications from the virus on August 29, 2021. We had “Wretched Majesty” and “Fire Salvation” started, but with Ruben gone, the future of the band was uncertain. A year passed with these two songs on the shelf.

Our engineer Mike BBQ called me and stressed the importance of finishing what Ruben started. He was right. There was work to be done. I contacted Milton, and he reminded me that there were two more songs that Ruben had written for a future record and that he would like to record them. We decided as a band that it would be a tragedy to let those songs disappear into nothingness. We then unanimously agreed to approach longtime friend and supporter of Imprecation, Matt Heffner, to complete the journey. While he was reluctant to fill the role of a drummer he admired, Matt understood the importance of finishing Ruben’s work and accepted the position.

We entered Audio Alive Studios to capture “Cursed Into Black” and “Daemonium” with Matt behind the kit. We felt that this record needed more songs to make a statement, so we included the original unreleased version of “Devil’s Furnace” from the In Nomine Diaboli sessions. We also wanted to include a song, “Ancient Portals of the Faceless Lord” from our long unavailable split with Blaspherian as a tribute to Wes Weaver, another fallen warrior from the Imprecation family.

While digging around in Ruben’s rehearsal recordings, we stumbled upon a CD of intros and outros that included a solo drum performance. We named that piece “Vomitum Tempestas,” with the idea of ending this record with Ruben playing into the hereafter. This is our tribute to him.’

However it happened, this release showcases Imprecation at their strongest since 2012’s Jehovah Denied, using texture more aggressively and building songs from arcologies of riffs that slowly distill into verse-chorus loops less based on vocals and more on guitar work.

    Quite a few B.F. Skinner mentions lately. What’s the story? I know him only as “that Behaviorist guy.”

    1. I’m re-reading Wolfe after seeing Radical Wolfe and am revisiting behaviorism and its offshoots. Skinner was one of those classic eggheads who wanted a simple solution to complex problems so that he could avoid the question of people quality. You need quality educators, not education machines, and you need sane people, not equal morons you manipulate with psychology. To Skinner, all of us were Pavlovian dogs.

      1. Tanner says:

        Interesting. And yet he doesn’t seem to be all bad:

        “If the world is to save any part of its resources for the future, it must reduce not only consumption but the number of consumers.”

        1. Very few are all bad. Not Hitler, not Stalin, not even Genghis Khan.

          I’d give him more points if he mentioned consuming the extra consumers.

          1. Tanner says:

            Looking forward to my copy of Skin Her Fucking Alive: B.F. Skinner’s Cookbook on Eating Welfare Warriors.

  2. Kaptain Klutz says:

    Romanticism post > Emo band posts > Beer/tobacco review > NWN shit > … Romanticism post >

    1. Not a bad plan. I like a lot of what NWN publishes these days. Keeping the classics alive and supporting newer bands is essential.

  3. are you vomiting hipster remains says:

    Much better. Maybe this band should stick to EPs because all of those and the demos are killer.

  4. The Misanthrope says:

    Cadaver released a new song on Listenable Records.

    1. Drew Barrymore is a WASP-Hungarian hybrid, is that right? Oh wait, there’s Irish in there too.

      Ethnicity:
      *father – English, Irish, German
      *mother – Hungarian

      1. Evil genes says:

        She’s bisexual too, genetic defect = deviance?

        1. Could be mute load, but given her upbringing, she could simply be one very mentally unbalanced person. Most of Hollywood are, and generally musicians/actors seem to have higher mutation load and lower mental health.

          1. Evil genes says:

            How about Ireland Baldwin (gotta love the name), also part-irish and bisexual…

            1. part-irish

              all-boat to North Africa :)

          2. Eric says:

            How does mutation load work?

            1. Mostly through genetic drift. Over time, mutations are introduced; natural selection says you reject the ones that turn out bad (psychopaths, retards, perverts, criminals, eggheads) and keep the good ones. However, permanent civilization likes tools or people who what they are told for eight hours a day, so selects for people with enough weird behaviors to keep them compliant, since that way they can do their dysfunctional stuff after work, and as a bonus, they favor a society where it is easy to hide anything. Miscegenation also functions as a type of mutation load because it brings in lots of irrelevant stuff and interrupts the genetic framework; since genes code for traits, and multiple traits make abilities or inclinations, each one of those traits is up for a roll of the dice and therefore, it is unlikely that all that are necessary for the ability or inclination to persist. This is why mixed-race groups like wops, spanes, micks, snigs, and J00z never create empires. They may be talented, but they are fogged in the head and lack direction, a lot like those people with high mutation load from genetic drift.

              1. plz don't hurt me says:

                “they favor a society where it is easy to hide anything.”

                But isn’t it kind of important to have privacy?

                1. Do I have to mention the false dichotomy here?

                  1. let me have it says:

                    That would be helpful, yes.

                    I erroneously (?) thought you were talking about people’s public vs. private spheres and that we should keep the latter open to scrutiny. But no?

                    1. I think the founding fathers (“framers”) in the jUSA did a good job with natural rights: limit government intervention in private life.

                      Beyond that, it’s a cultural thing. No society is going to tolerate all behaviors, and many behaviors are destructive and should probably be limited, but more by cultural pressures than government.

  6. Chinese water torture says:

    Brett, if you were handcuffed in a dungeon and forced to listen to one of the following, which poison would you pick?

    Opeth, Pantera or Limp Bizkit

    1. Jesus H al-Christez, that’s a tough one. I’d go with Pantera because the posing going on there is at least just high school level jock-nerds pretending to be tough stoners, instead of the pretense of Opeth and whatever jumpmonkey urban-suburban culture hybrid Limp Bizkids dreamed up. But, wow, that’s torture.

      1. Chinese water torture says:

        Furthermore, pick one of the three poisons:

        a) Marry an Irish woman (no divorce or cheating allowed or else eaten by ants alive Consuming Impvlse style).

        b) Shut down all your domains and never allowed to write again or else PC/phone explodes.

        c) Never allowed listen to metal again (Nauseous pavlovian Clockwork Orange effect if you do)

        1. You leave me only one option. I’d have to make do with Bruckner and Mozart.

      2. Kustom Klooning says:

        Brett, who would win: polar bear or shark?

        1. Great relativity illustration. On land, the polar bear; in sea, probably the shark but nothing is guaranteed. Depends on what type of shark it is and how big the polar bear is.

      3. Cynical says:

        I must be at least slightly retarded for not thinking it’s a hard choice at all; I immediately thought “oh that’s easy, Pantera sucks the least of those three options easily.” Dumbass tough-guy coded moron rock is miles better than those other two options.

        1. It’s a good point. Pantera is objectionable mostly because it is not different from the normie pablum. However, it at least stays within the safe and familiar lines of music we ignore in bars and tire shops. Rock, pop, country, jazz, blues, techno, rap… these are all more similar than different, but metal is an outlier, and we like it that way.

        2. Adolf Hadrian says:

          An eternity listening to Pantera and Opeth would be a hell enough to make people choose an immediate end to their participation in the karmic cycle.

  7. Retardol 500mg says:

    Brett, are all Cianide albums worth keeping, or just some?

    Seems like one of those rare bands that have no real rotten apples.

    1. The second is the real crusher, but the first one is great too, and nothing else sucks.

    2. Bukake Mukbang says:

      Controversial opinion, just listen to the first three, everything else is Motorhead/Venom crossover.

  8. mlotek says:

    Brett,

    You like to think you are superior when denigrating Slavic folks, yet, as far as I can see only Poland right now have been using water cannons and SHOOT any illegal alien intruders on their border.

    America, and EU countries, are behind when it comes to keeping purity.

    1. I don’t denigrate Slavic folks; I recognize reality.

      Slavs are escaped serfs from Europe who took wives in the Eurasian area.

      Mono-ethnic societies alone survive, so America must be WASP.

      Poles are mixed Baltic, Germanic, and Slavic. They are their own category.

      1. Sanity says:

        The thing is with you, you’re basically right most of the time (strong emphasis on “basically”), but don’t think reality is as clear cut and black and white as you often make it. There’s nuances, variables and exceptions. You’re not omniscient, nor do you own a time machine. You’re a guy with a computer reading online statistics and sketchy books – none of that is an absolute territory.

        This is why I can never be an extremist, and don’t get me wrong, the left have plenty of insane ideas that I disagree with (gender mania, veganism, “climate change”, vaxxing, neurotic censorship, non-white worship etc.)

        1. There’s nuances, variables and exceptions.

          I write extensively about nuance, but the first question is: are these actually relevant?

          The exception strengthens the rule, especially when it’s under one percent.

          I write this as an exception to most norms.

        2. Bukake Mukbang says:

          1) go into a forest in winter

          2) make a fire

          life is black and white when you have to live with the consequences you midgetfucker

          1. Powerpuff Ghoul says:

            He’s in the forest because he fucked midgets, right?

            1. Hamas Hadrian says:

              Fucking midgets isnt a crime. I thought this was AMERICA, god fucking damn it.

              1. Snacks on a Plane, Midgetfucker says:

                When does the sodomize-the-weak thing kick in? About time now.

        3. Hessian Murderer of Black Death says:

          Brett Stevens’ silliest take is his insistence on hostility toward the Irish for some reason. Is it because he’s an Anglo and those two groups used to fight in the past? Is he mad about the British soldiers that the IRA smoked or what?

          1. Don’t get me started on wopes and spanes.

  9. The azerbaijanwaiianraprockzilla cops fucking Taylor swifts bottomless pussy while Jewishwaiian a centillion thaiwaiian and a million indiawaiisns pee and squirt nothing but delicious pissy pusss juice all over the earth for naggers men like me says:

    If these bitches were the last pussies on earth Brett would you breed with any of them?

    1. All leftist bitches you give to the blacks

      I am in favor of exiling Leftists anyway, so if this means shipping them to Africa, I fully support this.

      Take Taylor Swift first.

      1. KOURTNEY KLAMBAKE says:

        Really great to see you still proudly flying the DEI flag, Brett. I mean, you’ve got window-lickers, autistic neckbeards, NWN emo-trannies, and people exhibited sundry other mental unwellnesses, all hobbling about your dying campfire. I expect you must sometimes sadly ponder how thirty years of “journalism” could have ended in an empty echo chamber, only occasionally occupied the occasional fetal alcohol syndrome loiterer. I cry for you, Brett; I cry for you and your emo pain. May God one day grant you an end to your sorrows.

        1. If it’s that bad, why are you here? lol

          I don’t entirely disagree with DEI. I think every ethnic group needs representation and autonomy. I think Blacks got treated poorly for a long time by many but not all. I think the bullies are rarely right. I think women need respect, at least the respectable ones. Every time I see people denigrating the various foreign groups I think it’s a waste of time that rots souls.

          But on the other hand, poly-ethnic societies are doomed but mono-ethnic ones have a chance to thrive. That’s it. And you forget… the world bent to my arc, not yours :)

          1. Misanthrope says:

            Was your arc “Oops, we realized too late that actions have consequences and now the world is literally burning and everything is too late”?

            1. Are you describing the O’Biden administration here?

      2. speak now (Adolph version) says:

        I’m confused Taylor for shipping or breeding?

        1. Shipping. She’s half-nonhuman and thoroughly s(hit)lib.

          Slibs never gonna learn, and potatoes belong in north Africa.

    2. Violence Enthusiast says:

      I think I am going to enjoy the collapse of law and order. I will go around beating white liberals until I have purged this race of its weakness.

  10. Jewish pussy smells like shit... says:

    The kaikaifilu
    Kronosaurus prime raprockzilla
    Kawanectes bug metal
    Killer cop Kourisodons

    Album called:

    Tales from the crime scene technicians
    Dead jewish pussy stinks!!!

    Hey Brett what do you think my bands style is like?

    And what will you do about mixed people who don’t wanna leave America huh?

    Can you give the mixed bitches to me? Or blacks for that matter?

    1. And what will you do about mixed people who don’t wanna leave America huh?

      I think in the future days of ethno-tribalism, everyone is going to want to find their tribe.

      For the last few decades I have written on the Right mainly to keep them from doing something retarded (national socialjism, xianity, or scientific management) again.

      The changes I write about are inevitable.

      1. Left says:

        Thank God you’ve got such a good hold on the Right!

  11. Rectal Nectar says:

    If you’re from the (far) right and what to preserve race, nation, tradition, religion, moral values etc. you’ve come to the wrong musical genre and it looks stupid as all fuck… unless you’re part of that idiotically niche NSBM movement (which is what this site should be renaming itself to). Burzum was/is both NSBM and DSBM if you take a close look, combining worst of both worlds, so may you all drown in Varg’s (and Rob Fudali’s) “aryan” shit.

    Metal is overal, mostly, classically leftist (rebel/destroy/have fun), but to be fair, it’s not “modern leftist”, or at least it shouldn’t be… because quite frankly modern leftism has become like some kind of inverted Right – you can’t do this, you can’t say that, which all sounds pretty nazi to me.

    1. Metal is overal, mostly, classically leftist (rebel/destroy/have fun), but to be fair, it’s not “modern leftist”, or at least it shouldn’t be.

      I think you confused Boomer rock with metal.

      Boomer rock is classically Leftist (ironist).

      Metal is darker.

    2. gothy spiderwebs says:

      my criteria for top tier metal is: do extremists AND hot girls who couldn’t care less like it?

      burzum counts

      1. The opposite extreme is music that offends no one and therefore can be used in corporate storefronts to lure normies, e.g. Muzak or Mariah Carey.

  12. I wanna rape gal gadot in the ass and cum in her pussy mouth and asshole stupid jew slut says:

    Savannah sellers huh?

    1. Korn
      NECRO

      Slipknot
      ICP Twiztid
      Mudvayne
      Otep
      Sabrina Carpenter
      Kelly Clarkson

      Korn: monkey wolored person jump metal for a new generation of kids sodomized once by dads who then abandoned them because their mothers were conducting lengthy affairs with personal trainers and mailmen.

      ICP: drink the Faygo and maybe you will forget that for the lower middle class whites in America life consists of pointless jobs, moronic schools, and broken families who fill the void by buying plastic Chinese junk from Amazon.

      Slipknot: people always refer to this as a “good jump metal band” when really there is no such thing, just aggressive riffs fitted to lounge rock songs from the 1960s sped up to seem to mirror a world rushing into the toilet rapidly.

      Most of the others are thankfully unknown to me!

      Half-Vietnamese hotties? Hell, Houston is crawling with them… but stability seems to be an issue and half died of COVID complications.

  13. Kendrick Lamar is and asshole and a faggit says:

    Got any half black jew jokes anyone?

    1. Hey Brett is there any mixed human u like any mixed humans u would like marrying ok?

      Can’t help it, I’m wired for Anglo-Saxon girls. But Marisa Tomei was hot back in the day, even if she’d steal your wallet in a heartbeat.

      1. brainrot says:

        BS: “Diversity is bad. Everyone would benefit from ethnic isolation.”
        Also BS: “Lol, everyone but Anglo-Saxons are subhuman. Why don’t they agree with me?”

        1. Everyone would benefit from ethnic isolation.

          Right, which is why Anglo-Saxons need their own societies apart from the niggardly Italians, niggling Irish, nuggety Spanes, triggering Juden, sniggering Arabs, nigging Levantines, did I mention the wops, and esurient Christians of course.

          1. brainrot says:

            That Anglo-Saxons need their own isolated societies was always clear. The obsessive need to insult every other people seems less useful.

            1. The obsessive need to insult every other people seems less useful.

              “Don’t observe anything that offends my fee-fees!”

              We make fun of ourselves, we make fun of others, we make fun of life itself.

              It’s our culture. If you don’t like it, move back to Asia or Africa or wherever :)

  14. brainrot says:

    We make fun of ourselves

    Name them.

    we make fun of others

    Okay, so let’s assume it was all in jest. Why waste time on jokes on such a clearly infected topic that is in dire need of clarity?

    It’s our culture. If you don’t like it, move back to Asia or Africa or wherever

    Your culture is a mess of every idea under the sun, second-guessing yourselves into oblivion. Good luck kicking people out based on that.
