Technical death metal maestro Matt Miller is set to unleash his seventh full-length, “Fiber Tormentum,” on September 12th via Exitus Stratagem Records. Marking a bold evolution from his instrumental legacy, this release embraces a full-band lineup featuring Jordan Kelso (drums, synth), Justice Robinett (bass), and Biko Wright (vocals). Each member injects a distinctive energy that elevates the album’s sonic intensity and emotional depth.
Earlier this summer, the first single, “Descent into Violence,” was unveiled along with a visualizer and playthrough; now the quartet is ready to showcase the next track, “Effectively Neutralized.”
“This track establishes the tone for our new LP, Fiber Tormentum. It makes a bold statement by blending melodicism and memorable hooks with the relentless elements of technical death metal. This combination creates a unique mixture of ferocity and intensity that delivers an emotional experience, which can sometimes be lost in this genre’s inhuman technicality. We believe this sets us apart from other artists, and we hope our authenticity resonates with the listener.” adds Miller.

A significant evolution in Miller’s musical journey, “Fiber Momentum” is an eight-track technical death metal opus that pushes boundaries with clean vocals, intricate guitars, and a theatrical, memorable sound. Lyrically, “Fiber Tormentum” envisions a scenario where extraterrestrial forces manipulate human DNA to subjugate humanity, blending speculative fiction with real-world anxieties. The album’s artwork, created by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, adds a poignant visual dimension to the project’s thematic depth.
“We emphasize our commitment to excellence, experimentation, and emotional authenticity, blending modern production with a human touch. The album represents a milestone in our evolving musical journey, with even greater ambitions for future work,” says Miller.
Listeners can expect a fusion of intricate musicianship and emotionally charged narrative, drawing inspiration from death metal trailblazers like Necrophagist and Spawn of Possession, while channeling the ambient intensity of visionaries such as Devin Townsend and Rivers of Nihil..

“I am super excited. I already know this is gonna destroy. Matt Miller just absolutely destroys it on all facets. He has so many guitar techniques that he has absolutely mastered and he can literally play it all.” – Omar Rodriguez – The Metal Mixtape – YouTube Channel
“Hell yeah. Holy moly canoli. Fiverr to Fiber Momentum, and that was the album. This song is Descent into Violence. Holy moly canoli, dude. Go support, Matt Miller. That was absolutely badass. Total shredding. Jordan, also a homie of mine, your drums are incredible. The new singer, Bo, I love the harsh vocals in the clean. Total is it almost the cleans almost reminded me of Queensryche meets Cannibal Corpse. It’s pretty freaking sweet. And of course, Justice always lays down the heavy bass with the beautiful bass faces. But an absolutely incredible album….Matt Miller, you could find him everywhere. He’s an incredible guitar player, one of the best guitar players of our generation. Remember, this is Fiber Tormentum courtesy of Exitus Stratagem Records. So, a huge shout-out to them as well. Matt Miller has so many more songs. If you guys like this song (Descent into Violence), believe me, this guy is an absolute shred master. Not only does he do like a ton of his own originals, he does a ton of covers, and also he’s just a shred master of all sorts. Just exactly how they say, melodic, technical, and death. But I will definitely say the big thing that stands apart about this whole song is great structure, absolutely shredding on all levels, and the vocals are just 100% one-of-a-kind. And I totally enjoyed it. Guys, I love you guys from the bottom of my heart. This has been Matt Miller with his new song, Descent into Violence. Pick up the new album on September 12, Fiber Tormentum.” – Omar Rodriguez – The Metal Mixtape – YouTube Channel
“Soaring, crushing, ferocious, emotive, and relentless, are words that strongly describe Decrepit Shed. The album has a lot to offer from various metal sub-genres and encompasses the best elements of technical guitar playing while still having well-written songs”. – Brave Words
“Monument of Velocity” initially had a different title and was not going to be a Matt Miller release and some of the songs were written with vocals in mind and were not going to be instrumental, however, it turned out to be the sixth of seven powerful albums in his discography. contains eight tracks full of technical and progressive metal eliciting feelings of suspense, and tension while being fun, melodic and brutally heavy. Miller’s melodic and relentless music has a wide range of influences and is recommended for fans of Jeff Loomis, Necrophagist, and Obscura.” – Rock’n’ Load
“Even though Miller’s music is instrumental, he likes to think of the guitar as a voice. Which in turn makes him ask what is the guitar saying? He is able to easily convey emotion, tone, and a story even without the use of vocals. Throughout his releases, his music has developed a more modern sound in both the music and the production. Musically the songs are more well written and a lot of the ideas he writes are being accurately represented. He is always trying to push himself as a musician and this is reflected in his discography. Influenced primarily by technical and progressive death metal with a dash of power metal and symphonic metal as well, Matt Miller’s music is recommended for fans of Obscura, Dragon Force, and Racer X” – Metal Sucks
