Today our debut full length “Ways of Enclosure” turns 6 years old. Released on October 31, 2015 through Memento Mori.
To celebrate, the digital album version is now available at NAME YOUR PRICE at our official Bandcamp page (during 1 week). Pay what you want or simply download it for free! CLICK HERE!
8 years ago, on this day, our very first CD was released on Escaravelho Records.
“Tales for the Carnivorous” EP was officially out on March 23, 2013 and represents the beginning of a journey on a proud homage to true old school DEATH METAL and cult Horror cinema.
However, about two months earlier, the first song and our very first video was unleashed. “There Are Those Who Kill Violently” pays tribute to Abel Ferrara’s cult flick “The Driller Killer”.
There is and there will always be time to celebrate real Death Metal served side by side with massive doses of Horror, gore, blood and guts!
OSDM NEVER DIES!!!
On this day, back in 2015 our debut full length was released for the first time on CD by Memento Mori. DEATH METAL SUPREMACY!!!
Wes Craven, one of the most important Horror directors in history, would turn 79 today! This is a “small” example of his legacy on the wonderful world of Horror Cinema and our homage to some of his work! R.I.P.
At last we are proud to announce the release of our debut album, “Ways of Enclosure“, on VINYL LP for the first time EVER! And to accomplish that, we joined forces with mighty Portuguese labels Firecum Records and Lusitanian Music which made it all possible!
“Ways of Enclosure” will be available on the 1st of June, strictly limited to 300 copies, in which 200 come on BLACK VINYL and 100 on GREEN VINYL. It was fully remastered for vinyl and also features an alternate final cover art, slightly different from the CD. So, be sure to stay tuned for more news!!

Dementia 13 with Sérgio Rocha
[English version – PRT version below]
Our farewell to the stages, past Friday, was AMAZING! And since it was a damn special moment, a detailed list of names of people that helped it become a success is mandatory this time. We are not over but we will step aside from the stages for a long time or maybe forever. We never know! For now, other plans are “stealing” our attention since we’re taking care of our next release (that was once postponed): the 2 track limited vinyl single “Children Shouldn’t Play with Zombies”, courtesy of Portuguese (true) Underground label Larvae Records. The promotional live shows for the “Ways of Enclosure” CD are now over.
So, the show “Blast from the Past” we put up to (along side our partners from WMD) was, indeed, a BLAST! We put together our old school Death Metal side by side with the relentless Thrash of my long time German friends Contradiction and the classic Heavy/Thrashers Sould Doubt, from Porto. And this was your moment too! We couldn’t make it any other way! Each and everyone of you understand the true meaning of being Underground musicians and mainly that was why we loved this show so much!
Also, Metalpoint for being our second home and the venue in Porto with the most absolutely KILLER sound! We blame Hugo for that! Keep believing and keep working hard man (as usual)!!!
Last but not least, each and every soul that was there to support the event and was the MAIN reason for having such an AMAZING, warm, crazy and friendly environment at “Blast from the Past”. Without YOU too, this wouldn’t be possible! Thanks for your support!
This is why we play Metal and are proud to populate the Underground scene. DEATH METAL SUPREMACY!
My deepest thanks to the following people, with no order whatsoever. You were ALL important for this event!
Daniel Silva (the master chef in charge of the delicious dinner), Hugo, Joana & Metalpoint, Quaresma & Soul Doubt, Oli & Contradiction (you can always count on your good friends in Portugal), Orca & WMD, my band mates in Dementia 13, Sérgio Rocha (special thanks for the homage and the gift – check the image in this statement), the awesome Belgian crew (now that’s the spirit), Bunker Store, Piranha, Rui & Mosher TV, Hintf zine, Emanuel Ferreira, SFTD Radio and every media that helped to promote the event.

O nosso adeus aos palcos, na passada Sexta-Feira, foi FANTÁSTICO! E uma vez que este foi um momento tão especial, torna-se assim obrigatório elaborar a devida lista de nomes de todos que contribuíram para que esta noite pudesse ser um sucesso! A banda não cessou actividades mas vamo-nos afastar dos palcos por um tempo indeterminado ou até para sempre. Nunca se sabe! Para já estaremos concentrados no próximo lançamento (que já havia sido adiado anteriormente): o single em vinil “Children Shouldn’t Play with Zombies”, composto por 2 gravações inéditas, cortesia da editora de Underground (a sério) Portuguesa Larvae Records. Os concertos promocionais do CD “Ways of Enclosure” terminaram aqui.
Ora, o evento “Blast from the Past” que organizamos (juntamente com os nossos parceiros WMD) foi, de facto, um estrondo! Decidimos juntar o nosso Death Metal old school lado a lado com o Thrash implacável dos meus amigos Alemães de longa data Contradiction, ao Heavy/Thrash clássico dos Sould Doubt, do Porto. E este foi o vosso momento também! Não o conseguiríamos de outra forma! Cada um de vocês compreende o verdadeiro significado de se ser um músico Underground e foi principalmente por isso que curtimos tanto fazer este concerto!
Também ao Metalpoint por ser a nossa segunda casa e o espaço no Porto com o mais potente e melhor som para se tocar Metal! Mas isso culpamos o Hugo! Continua a acreditar e continua o árduo trabalho pah (como sempre)!!!
E por fim, mas não menos importante, todas as almas que se deslocaram e apoiaram o evento e foram os principais responsáveis para que tivéssemos um FENOMENAL, caloroso e louco “Blast from the Past” repleto de amigos e não só. Sem todos vocês também, isto não seria possível! Obrigado pelo apoio!
É por tudo isto que tocamos Metal e temos orgulho em popular a cena Underground. DEATH METAL SUPREMACY!
Os meus agradecimentos profundos aos seguintes intervenientes, sem qualquer ordem. TODOS foram essenciais neste evento!
Daniel Silva (o master chef encarregue do magnífico jantar), Hugo, Joana & Metalpoint, Quaresma & Soul Doubt, Oli & Contradiction (já sabem que podem sempre contar com os vossos bons amigos em Portugal), Orca & WMD, os meus companheiros de guerra em Dementia 13, Sérgio Rocha (agradecimento especial à homenagem que nos prestou e à oferta – vejam a foto deste comunicado), a excelente crew Belga (é esse o espírito), Bunker Store, Piranha, Rui & Mosher TV, Hintf zine, Emanuel Ferreira, SFTD Radio e todos os orgãos de comunicação que ajudaram a promover o evento.

About last night: Our farewell from the stages was MEMORABLE! All details, pics and videos very soon! THANKS to Contradiction, Soul Doubt, Metalpoint and everyone that supported this event! DEATH METAL SUPREMACY!
Soul Doubt & Dementia 13
We are proud to announce the return of mighty Contradiction [GER] to Portugal and to Porto! We’ll be there too, next month, along side our Thrasher friends from Soul Doubt! Right on our hometown and our second home Metalpoint!
This will be an exclusive, extended and uncut show before we step aside from live shows (for a long time) to focus on new upcoming releases and other stuff. So, don´t dare to miss out our tribute to (real) Death Metal and be there!! \m/

Determination is what guide us and make us follow our path of persistence, without EVER thinking of giving up! One more cycle in DEMENTIA 13 is closed now. After little more than a year, the “Ways of Enclosure” promotional live shows come to an end. Only a few and (very) selective Portuguese events were booked, it’s true, but more than enough to know that we can ALWAYS count on your support: fans, promoters, labels, distros, media (you KNOW who you are) MANY THANKS!
So, another chapter ended with two major and important gigs: the two Portuguese Brujeria tour shows that took place a few days ago: 11th December at RCA Club (Lisboa) and the 12th at Hard Club (Porto). We’d like to deeply thank Hell Xis Agency for EVERYTHING, Grog (masters of demonic old school Grindcore), RCA Club, Hard Club, Brujeria and, most important, YOU that supported both events and all bands! To our partners Planet Core for driving us to Lisboa and back and for being a most important part on our Metal mission, goes our most sincere appreciation and FUCK YEAH!!! \m/
Sick Death Metal maniacs, notice this: we’re not through yet so, you’ll be hearing from us very soon! OSDM!!!
Well, “Ways of Enclosure” debut full length CD is still in stock but it won’t last forever… ALSO AVAILABLE is the very limited to 100 copies worldwide tape release. ORDER NOW while you can because they are running out of stock! SUPPORT UNDERGROUND!!

Well, today our little pumpkin is 1 year old. Filled with all our sweat and blood, the debut album “Ways of Enclosure” (2015) would see the light of day on the most evil (or not) day of the year: Halloween. And all thanks to our label Memento Mori.
And this was our humble and honest contribution to the old school Death Metal sound we worship so much. We hope it still spins louder than hell on your stereo! Thanks everyone for your never ending support! You know who you are! \m/

Well, next live Horror blood splattered surgery will happen next month at the amazing Mosher Fest chapter IV (Coimbra, PRT) with this killer bill: Dr Living Dead [SWE] + Corpus Christii + Revolution Within + Tales For The Unspoken! This one will be memorable!

To those near by, come have a few beers and headbang all night long!! \m/

We are very happy to announce that Dementia 13 will be a part of both Portuguese shows for the blasting Iberian Brujeria tour. Thought things couldn’t get any better? Check again because Portuguese Death/Grind legends Grog complete this amazing bill! Stepping back in time, this was kind of how the “Tales for the Carnivorous” EP tour (2013/2014) ended. But that time with Obituary. Same cities, same venues. AWESOME!! Thanks to Hell Xis for this opportunity! \m/
So, this will be the closing of a cycle for ourselves. “Ways of Enclosure” album promotional tour will reach its end next December 11th/12th, 2016. Then we back down from the stages for some time so we can focus on other stuff and plans, already in development as we speak. So, be sure to stay tuned!
