British deathcore outfit Viscera have announced their new album Hunting Season, due on 12 February 2027 through Unique Leader Records. The record follows 2023’s Carcinogenesis and brings together a substantial list of guest vocalists from across modern metal.
A heavyweight guest list
Among the confirmed appearances are Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach on In the Belly of the Beast, Trivium frontman Matt Heafy on The Lie That Sets You Free and Joe Bad of Fit For An Autopsy on Hivemind.
The title track features Alan Grnja of Distant and Andreas Bjulver of Cabal, while John Robert Centorrino contributes to the closing track, Moongazer.
First taste of Hunting Season
Viscera have also shared Merciless by Nature as the lead single. With ten tracks announced, Hunting Season looks set to place the band’s technical deathcore sound in conversation with several different corners of the heavier music scene.
Guest appearances alone don’t guarantee a great record, of course. The more meaningful test will be whether the collaborations serve the songs and help Viscera build on the identity established across their earlier releases.
Hunting Season is scheduled for release on 12 February 2027 via Unique Leader Records.
