Line Up: “VoidPortals” Tour 2025
Reverence to Paroxysm was founded between 2018 and 2020 around Antimo Buonanno (ex-Disgorge, Hacavitz, Profanator) and Óscar Clorio (Cenotaph, ex-Shub Niggurath), two veterans of the Mexican death metal underground scene that have been active more or less since its inception. While the latter has since left the band, Reverence to Paroxysm remains as strong as ever, having released a split with the Spanish Pestilength in 2020, a live album in 2022 and, in 2023, their debut album “Lux Morte” via Me Saco Un Ojo and Dark Descent Records. Their sound reminds of early, raw Swedish and Finnish death/doom bands like Eternal Darkness, Moondark or Rippikoulu, with an absurdly bass-heavy sound that almost reaches Mortician territories of deep rumbling, and occasional almost clean leads over extremely distorted sparse soundscapes that call into mind Disembowelment.

With them on tour, Reverence to Paroxysm will be bringing Castleumbra. The entity was born in 2008 as a side project from members of Profanator, Hacavitz, Demonized, Antimo Buonanno & Alejandro Franco, starting rehearsals that instantly turned into their first MCD “Cthulu Wgah'nagl Fntagn”.
After some years of hiatus, Antimo and Alejandro reunited again to start composing new material which led to the recording of their first album “Nammu Tammtu” that was released in 2023 via VOMIT Records (Mexico), Obliteration Records (Japan), and Battlesk'rs Productions (Europe/worldwide), with a vinyl LP version forthcoming from Extremely Rotten Productions and P2 Records.
A few months after the release, Alejandro left the project. In 2022, the band reformed as a live act with new members César Sánchez (Xiat, Hacavitz, Profanator, Skid Raid, Demonized…) and Enrique Ruiz (Fumes, ex-In Obscurity Revealed, Inanimatum). In 2024, Alfonso Aguayo (FOH for Cenotaph, ex-Rapture (mex)) joined, completing the current line-up.
