Pittsburgh, California Death/Thrash Outfit HEMOTOXIN To Release “Biological Enslavement” In April On Unspeakable Axe Records

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on February 17, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Hemotoxin - Biological Enslavement - 2016 - #MO990ILMF663

Pittsburgh (CA) –  Progressive Death/Thrash Outfit HEMOTOXIN will release sophomore full-length Biological Enslavement April 15th on Unspeakable Axe Records.  Stream new track “Transparent Eyes” at this location or below:

Categorizing what kind of music HEMOTOXIN makes is harder than it would seem.  Their brand of melodic death/thrash springs from a whole host of metal influences: progressive death metal (e.g. DEATH, ATHEIST), classic Thrash (MEGADETH, SLAYER and others), and even some Black Metal and prog rock.

Any given song could groove, then thrash, then send you through a dizzying labyrinth of elaborate riffs and ideas. Somehow, they juggle all these influences and produce from it a cohesive whole, while keeping the aggression high and the song’s core melodic components front and center.

Whatever they are doing, HEMOTOXIN do it very well, and they’ve only gotten tighter and more adventurous as a unit since their 2013 debut.  Now their follow-up full-length is ready to be unleashed.  At 9 tracks and just 35 succinct minutes, Biological Enslavement will take you on a journey more interesting than most albums twice its length.

Biological Enslavement will be made available for pre-order in mid-March through the Unspeakable Axe Store and label Bandcamp page.

Hemotoxin - Biological Enslavement - 2016 - #MO990ILMF663

Track Listing:

1. Decadence
2. Regression
3. Minus Human
4. Not of this World
5. Forgotten Faces
6. The Alchemist
7. Bleak Prognosis
8. A Journey Through Dreams
9. Transparent Eyes

Deadhead Syndicate, the debut album from German thrashers SEPTAGON, is out now in North America on Cruz Del Sur Music. Stream the album in its entirety below:

https://cruzdelsurmusic.bandcamp.com/album/deadhead-syndicate

Order the Deadhead Syndicate CD here.

SEPTAGON is the creature of LANFEAR / THEM mastermind Markus “Ulle” Ullrich, who in 2013 met Markus Becker (ATLANTEAN KODEX) with the idea of forming an old-school Speed/Thrash metal band which had the aggression of Exodus, Slayer and Testament and also the melody and technical appeal of Forbidden, Heathen, Realm and Watchtower. Expect fast, technical Thrash, mixed with mid-paced groove and good hooklines!
