The Sweet Meats Slaughterhouse was founded in 1895 by Wilhelm Schröder. Internationally known for his advances in industrialized butchery...he produced 30% of the meats consumed in the United States. In 1915 tragedy struck the small town he called home when all the livestock took some unexplained fatal disease. The ever resourceful Schröder turned to the only available meat. The townsfolk. When they discovered the terrible truth - they enacted their own form of justice. Feeding the once prolific Schröder to his own machines. The Sweet Meats Slaughterhouse remained eerily quiet and vacant..until one night...horrible noises resembling music emanated from the dank hallways.

YEAR OF DEATH is a downtempo electronic deathwave project created by Alicia Amiri and Colin Roper of Nightmare Fortress.


This band is a celebration of the inevitably of Death. This very page will soon be nothing more than a mute graveyard of digital residue - white noise from people who no longer exist.

We are not sad about any of this, in fact we are very happy that you are reading this. Thanks for stopping by.

Upcoming shows have been booked and new songs are in the works. All will be posted on this page as soon as humanly possible.
