Maceration is a pioneer of the Danish death metal scene, formed in 1989 by members of Invocator. The debut album A Serenade of Agony was released in 1991 featuring Dan Swanö on vocals and is considered a classic. After the debut Maceration descended into nothingness, but the hiatus was over in 2022 after 30 years and the band re-united and released their second album It Never Ends… again featuring death metal legend Dan Swanö on vocals known from Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath and many others. On January 31, 2025, the band released their 3rd full-length album ‘Serpent Devourment’ where Maceration continue to deliver old school death metal with the well-known Swedish chainsaw HM2 sound and this time Swanö again produced and mixed the album but gave the vocal duties 100% to regular singer Jan Bergmann Jepsen. With this comeback album 30+ years after the debut, there has been great interest in the resurrected band.
