Ophiolatry and Valeton Team Up for a Sonic Assault

Brazilian death metal veterans Ophiolatry have officially partnered with effects and gear innovator Valeton, marking a bold new chapter in the band’s relentless pursuit of brutal tone. Known for their blistering speed and spiritual aggression, Ophiolatry found in Valeton a perfect match for their crushing sound and uncompromising style.

“Valeton doesn’t just amplify our sound. It awakens the beast. Every riff hits harder, every solo screams louder. This is the tone of modern war.” — Ophiolatry

With their precision-crafted GP-200 multi-effects unit, Valeton has been gaining rapid recognition among metal artists seeking versatility without compromising quality. The brand’s balance of simplicity, durability, and affordability makes it a natural fit for extreme acts like Ophiolatry.

This partnership comes as the band builds on the momentum of their latest release, Serpent’s Verdict, a record that blends primal death metal with ritualistic intensity. Guitarist Joubert Thaumiel now wields the GP-200 as part of his live and studio rig, using it to carve through dense sonic layers with piercing clarity.

The band’s endorsement arrives at a high point in their discography. Serpent’s Verdict has been praised for its raw atmosphere, tribal percussion, and unrelenting pace. Tracks like “Blessed by the Serpent’s Fangs” and “Venom Reigns” highlight Ophiolatry’s signature sound: precise, punishing, and spiritually charged.
