Disfigurement - Soul Rot - promo cover pic

Soul Rot from Atlanta Old School Death Metal unit DISFIGUREMENT is out now on Boris Records. These five tracks burst at the seams with no frills, bone crushing Death Metal purity; the sensation is one you’ll not soon forget. Recorded by Scott Prian, mixed by Dan Klein (Arcane Studio), and mastered by Jack Control (Enormous Door), Soul Rot also features the stunning cover art of the mighty Juanjo Castellano 

Soul Rot was released September 19th, on CD and digital formats. The CD version comes with a link to download bonus live material. The EP will be available on iTunes and all other major digital retailers this November.

Forged from classic Death Metal elements, DISFIGUREMENT hammers away with precise, crushing rhythms, dynamic solos and nihilistic lyrics. Since forming in 2011, DISFIGUREMENT has been active in the Atlanta Metal scene, booking and performing with such acts as Nile, Deicide, Kreator, Inquisition, Miasmal and others.

Critical Praise:

“Soul Rot is an OSDM monster in a tech death rubber suit. It stomps and slams with the dexterity normally found in a group priding themselves on week-long widdles. Disfigurement though, cares more about flow. They write honest to Dio SONGS, preferring Replayability over their own ability. Visceral Bleeding with a transfusion of early Anata is a fine way to grease your brain if you can’t press play yet.”  – IAN CHAINEY: Trample of the Week

“Area band Difigurement opened the night, a joyful death metal outfit that crushed eardrums by taking notes from old school groups like Vader and Morbid Angel. They gave that good old assault on the senses just like any true death metal band should. Their sound reverberated in the late 80’s style – brutality without repetitiveness. The performance was great as well. No frills, just aggression. I hope to hear these guys again soon, because they left a tremendous impression.”- Brett Neidlinger: Backstage Beat

SLAVE ZERO ANNOUNCE “DISAMBIGUATED VISIONARY” EP

Slave Zero - band promo pic - 2013 - #377

Slave Zero are back with new EP Disambiguated Visionary. What can we expect from the fifth offering from the Dublin four-piece and follow-up to 2009’s ‘Exempt from all Tolerance’? “Heavy, Unrelenting and Unpredictable”, says vocalist Graeme V. Flynn. Focusing on more progressive and death metal elements than its predecessors, ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ is intended to “provoke thought and question the confines of what we see and perceive as humans alluding to our insignificance as qualified through scientific theories.”

The album which was recorded by the band’s own Ben Wanders at Nebula Studios, Galway features artwork by Paul McCarroll of Unhinged Art. Representing a futuristic humanoid, Graeme furthers, “who’s to say what the world will look like in 1,000 years or 5,000 years? If humankind ever manages to colonise parts of our solar system or beyond, the body will need to adapt to living in those conditions. The figure on the cover could potentially resemble a humanoid from that era. Humankind in our current form is not the peak of our evolutionary climb”.

Supported by a number of launch shows in Ireland the EP ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ will be released this November 10th on Double Standard Productions.

Track Listing:

01 Mathmatically Legitimate Solution

02 Limitless Peripheral Perspective

03 Embroidered Strategy Of Calculated Misrepresent

04 Oscillating Perceptions Of An Abstract Existence

05 Anthropic Landscape Theory

ANNIHILATED – Los Angeles Death Metal Squadron Enter Studio

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on October 13, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Annihilated - promo band pic - 2013 - #444

Los Angeles Death Metallers, ANNIHILATED, are set to enter Trench Studios in Corona, California later this month to record the beast of brutality that will be 13 Steps To Ruination. Set for release via their new label home of Unique Leader Records, 13 Steps To Ruination will be produced by drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn). Drums will be recorded by producer/engineer John Haddad (Abysmal Dawn, Exhumed, Intronaut).

Comments the band: “We think this is our heaviest, and catchiest stuff we’ve written with a very real and intense message. We think people will really dig it.”

ANNIHILATED seek to spread the truth about corporate and legislative corruption. Forged in 2008 by guitarists Eric Matranga and Robert Fimbres following the demise of their former band Excretion, ANNIHILATED crafts maniacal Death Metal hymns focused on promoting rational thought and to question what’s being force-fed to the masses via mass media.

Annihilated - band logo - 2013

In 2012, drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) joined the group with the same values and ideologies. Helping to further their musical purpose, he added a new dimension of percussive flavor and syncopation to the music. Shortly thereafter, the band recruited ex-Decapitated bassist Martin Rygiel to lay down bass tracks for their EP, Injected. Rygiel’s roaring bass assaults and vast musical knowledge supplemented their already refined brand of relentless aggression.

The self-released Injected EP was recorded and produced at Trench Studios by Fuller, features guest vocals by Charles Elliott (Abysmal Dawn, Bereft), a special guitar solo by Fancesco Artusato (All Shall Perish, Fancesco Artusato Project) and serves as a taste of the sickness to come with six face-liquefying tracks of extreme, uncompromising Death Metal.

13 Steps To Ruination will be unleashed via Unique Leader Records next year. Further details to be announced in the months to come.

ANNIHILATED:

Eric Matranga (ex-Excretion, Grotesque) – guitars/vocals

Martin Rygiel (ex-Decapitated, Vader, Lux Occulta) – bass

Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) – drums

Robert Fimbres (Banishment) – guitars

Scalpel - sorrow and skin - promo cover pic

“…bludgeoning…like a ten-ton hammer.” – DeadRhetoric.com 

Boston Death Metal force SCALPEL will provide support for MORBID ANGEL on the Cambridge, Mass. date of their 20th Anniversary of Covenant US Tour. The show is set to take place on November 10 at Middle East Downstairs. ABNORMALITY will also be appearing on the bill.

Tickets are available directly through SCALPEL at www.scalpel.bigcartel.com.

SCALPEL’s debut full-length, Sorrow and Skin, is out now via Sevared Records and available on Amazon, iTunes and other digital retailers. Physical copies coming soon.

The band recently teamed up with the folks at DeathMetal.org for the premier of album track The Black Juices. Stream the tune at this location.

Death Metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. SCALPEL has no other purpose than to deliver a version of this art to those same fans whose lives have been claimed by the likes of SUFFOCATION, CARCASS, and DEATH. It is in this vein that SCALPEL constructs its own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and with an eagerness to explore the darker realms of music. The band is rooted firmly in the old school aesthetic, vigilant to revive the gnarly riffage and macabre lyrical content of so many vicious death metal acts. SCALPEL creates its own art to be maddening and precise, to fulfill the connotations of its name.

From December 12 – 21, DEHUMAN will bring the “Desecrated Deathkult Tour” to seven different countries – Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey – in support of their debut full-length, Black Throne of all Creation, released last year by Kaotoxin Records.

In other DEHUMAN news, the band is currently working hard on the follow-up to Black Throne of all Creation. The as-of-yet-untitled album is being recorded at Blackout Studios (Enthroned, Emptiness) and will be mixed and mastered by Francis Caste at Sainte Marthe Studios (Arkhon Infaustus, Department Of Correction).

DEHUMAN – BAND BIO:

DEHUMAN was founded in 2006 by 4 teenage devotees of Florida Death Metal but the definitive line-up was only finalized in 2010 with the arrival of drummer Laye. Since then the band has been making a name for itself through regular concerts and tours alongside well-established groups (Possessed, Master, Macabre, Belphegor, Agathocles, Aborted, Prostitute Disfigurment, Severe Torture, Leng Tch’e,Cattle Decapitation, Blood red Throne, Arkangel,etc..) and especially through the release of their first album “Black Throne of All Creation – out now on LP and CD. This sensational debut album, recorded in Blackout studio (Enthroned, Corpus Christi, Emptiness..) in February and March 2011, pushes back the sonic boundaries and takes no prisoners.

Black Throne of All Creation confirmed DEHUMAN as one of the rising stars of European Death Metal and recalls the golden age of death metal with its musical references to Death, Carcass, Suffocation and many others. Building on the foundations of old school Metal, DEHUMAN creates their own sound and technique in a way which is reminiscent of Decapitated or Origin.

REPTILIAN DEATH – “The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence” Available As Digital Download

Reptilian Death - The Dawn Of Consumation And Emergence - promo cover

Mumbai-based Death Metal outfit REPTILIAN DEATH, who recently signed with Old School Metal Records, has made their newest release, The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence, available as a digital download on iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital retailers. Physical copies of the CD can be pre-ordered for October 10th delivery. A full list of outlets where the album can be purchased has been posted below.

REPTILIAN DEATH released posted studio footage of the guitar recording sessions for The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence, which took place at Demonic Studios. Check out the footage below:

Reptilian Death - promo band pic - 2013 - #!

REPTILIAN DEATH has long existed in the shadows of the Indian Metal scene as the side project of Demonic Resurrection frontman, Demonstealer. The band spent their first 12 years making sporadic live appearances and changing line-ups fairly often. During that time, REPTILIAN DEATH had an almost humorous disposition, writing little spoof metal epics like ‘5 Easy Ways To Murder Someone’ and ‘Nursery Rhymes For Satan’s Children’ while balancing a handful of serious tracks which eventually found themselves on their 2004 debut, Total Annihilation. In 2006, the band’s direction took a turn for the serious with the release of their EP Intestinal Feast on the Defaced And Split album, which also featured Exhumation, Warface and Narsil.

Shortly after the release, the band returned to the shadows until resurfacing in early 2013. The band exploded on the scene completely metamorphosed into brand new beast. Fronted by Vinay Venkatesh (Bhaynak Maut), dressed in priestly robes with his face painted half black and half white and backed by a band of masked members, REPTILIAN DEATH has moved out of the shadows and into the forefront of the global Metal community. The world will now see The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence.

Formed in 2004, WARMASTER arose from the underground empowered by one demo and gained a rabid following. By 2006 the band extended to a full line up to play lots of gigs and festivals. WARMASTER debut album, First War was released on Dutch Metal Records in 2008. Many European live shows, followed and touring with bands like Grave, Jungle Rot, Sadistic Intent, Fleshcrawl, Zombie Inc. increased WARMASTER’s ever-growing reputation.

After some lineup changes and with newly found energy and creativity, WARMASTER recorded a new album and a split EP with Humiliation. The split EP is released in June 2013 on Deadbeat Media and Slaughterhouse Records. The 2nd full-length album, The End of Humanity will be out on October 30th, 2013. With their raw, groovy, mid-paced old school deathmetal, WARMASTER is going onward to enlarge their legion!

GOREGAST “Covered In Skin” – 2 Song 7″ EP Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

4 Metal Fists Out Of 5!

Metalfistredbckgrndsmall4

GOREGASTCovered In Skin is a 2 song 7″ EP from Death Metal behemoths: GOREGAST. Releasing this week via FDA Rekotz, this EP from GOREGAST is worth it’s weight in torn-apart alien flesh that’s covered in gold. I’m not one to steer any Metal fanatic wrong; especially my Death Metal brethren. With a forthcoming album (GOREGAST’s fourth overall) due out in the Spring of 2014, Covered In Skin will keep fans of GOREGAST chomping at the bit all the more.

Both songs (Covered In Skin & Mindcreeper) are a reminder to me of how underground Death Metal is and always will be a dominant force; an extreme Metal force that cannot be restrained nor denied of its existence. With crunchy riffage, hellish vocals, insane drumming and eye-popping grooves, GOREGAST still manages to make both songs melodic. Death Metal nectar from the dark side is this EP.

This is a band and EP ALL Death Metal fans worldwide and in other unknown spatial dimensions MUST know about and buy into. For those already loyal to GOREGAST, there really is no need for my bloody persuasion. Metal be thy name.

ALTERBEAST – Joins Unique Leader Records

Alterbeast - promo band pic - #1 - 2013

ALTERBEAST – Sacramento Technical Death Metal legion ALTERBEAST is pleased to announce their union with Unique Leader Records.

Formed in 2011 under the working title Gary Busey Amber Alert (GBAA), ALTERBEAST combines influences from the likes of The Black Dahlia Murder, Necrophagist and Spawn of Possession with numerous classic Death Metal acts like Dissection and Morbid Angel, into an infuriated expulsion of animosity. After a year of dedicated song-crafting, ALTERBEAST unleashed their first demo in 2012 and played countless shows opening for Deicide, Dying Fetus, Testament, Revocation, Exhumed, Severed Savior and many others. Their crushing live assaults combined with a DIY ethos quickly earned them a revered place within the local Death Metal community.

Earlier this year, ALTERBEAST entered Augmented Audio at Sound Temple Studios to record their debut. Titled Immortal, the record was engineered by former The Black Dahlia Murder bassist Ryan “Bart” Williams. The band later enlisted Gabe Seeber (The Kennedy Veil) to the drum stool, returned to the studio – this time at Oakland’s Castle Ultimate with engineer Zack Ohren (Light This City, All Shall Perish, First Blood, Cattle Decapitation, Warbringer et al) – to record drums, mix and master the album.

Slated for release in early 2014 via Unique Leader, Immortal will feature eight tracks of brutal, uncompromising death metal mastery. Check out the band’s personal signing announcement HERE.

Further ALTERBEAST developments to be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Italian grind masters EXHUMER and Comatose Music have joined forces with Apoch’s Metal Review for the premier of a brand new track off the band’s forthcoming album, Degraded by Sepsis.

The track, entitled Vapours of Cadaveric Mucilage, has been posted for your neck-snapping enjoyment at this location.

Ruthless and calculating, Degraded by Sepsis marks the first recorded output from one of Italy’s sickest Death Metal exports since their 2008 full-length debut, Bloodcurdling Tool of Digestion. This new release displays rabid skills of technical brutality, inhuman speed and supreme aggression while leaving a trail of blood-soaked anguish in the unavoidable aftermath. Album artwork for Degraded by Sepsis by the renowned Jon Zig.

Degraded by Sepsis is set for an October 15th release on Comatose Music.  Pre-orders are now available at www.comatosemusic.com.

Amon Amarth - North American Tour - 2014 - promo flyer

 New Track From Serpents Unleashed To Premiere Today Via SiriusXM

SKELETONWITCH – Although their busy Fall itinerary (which includes tours alongside Ghost B.C. and The Black Dahlia Murder) is their immediate focus, Blackened Metal heathens SKELETONWITCH are already looking ahead to 2014 with a massive month-long trek alongside Amon Amarth and Enslaved that will take the Ohio quintet to many markets they will not hit during their Autumn takeover. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Find a complete list of the group’s upcoming concerts below.

Comments guitarist Scott Hedrick of the New Year run, “We forged a friendship with Amon Amarth about five years ago when we first toured together and have had the chance to hang with Enslaved at European festivals. We’re fans of both bands, and all those guys rule. It takes a tour to another level when there’s that much camaraderie, and we can’t think of a better way to tour Serpents Unleashed this Winter. Good bands, good beards, and (hopefully) good beers. See you guys soon!”

PESTILENCE – “Obsideo” Album Confirmed For November Release

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on September 12, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Pestilence - Obsideo - promo cover pic

Candlelight Records today confirms November 11th as the North American release date for Obsideo, the new album from Dutch metal extremists PESTILENCE. Produced by vocalist/guitarist Patrick Mameli, the album is the band’s inaugural recording for the label and first new material from the four-piece since 2011.

“We have gone beyond our human limits to achieve the highest form of brutal music,” reveals Mameli when discussing the album’s creation. “The musicianship is such high quality; it is really ten of the most demanding songs written in death metal.”

Together with long-time guitarist Patrick Uterwijk, Mameli, bassist George Maier and drummer Dave Haley deliver a blistering and genre-lifting effort. “I am chuffed to have Dave in the lineup,” confirmed Mameli earlier this year while discussing the band’s updated cast. “He is one of the best extreme drummers in the world and his talent bring PESTILENCE to new levels. George is a young and talented bass player that will turn some heads. Both are really down to earth and real easy-going guys. Patrick, of course, is my most respected and long-going friend and musician.”

Pestilence - Band Promo Pic - 2013 - #6

Obsideo boasts Mameli and his innovative guitar work. Utilizing eight-string guitars for the album’s recording, the celebrated musician expands his already massive arsenal of riffs. “The eight string guitar opens a lot of doors,” notes Mameli. “It gives lots of new musical options and allows us to make the music sound more brutal than before.  It also forces me to sing in a higher pitch because I don’t want my vocals in the way of the low-tuned guitar parts.  My vocals sound more intense and manic than before.”

Formed in 1986, PESTILENCE took influence from early American and German thrash metal to cultivate its now signature death metal sound. Recording four albums before disbanding in 1994, the band helped to usher the rise in popularity for the genre. Fourteen years later the band reformed; releasing two albums and exciting fans with live performances around the globe. “Mameli and company chose to steer efforts down paths previously unexplored whilst maintaining their vintage essence,” noted Chronicles of Chaos on the band’s 2009 album, Resurrection Macabre (Mascot).

PESTILENCE plans to begin touring in support of Obsideo in the early months of 2014; North America to be included in their worldwide takeover. The band’s last stateside performance was as a featured artist on the second annual 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise that left Miami shores on January 23, 2012.

1. Obsideo

2. Displaced

3. Aura Negative

4. NecroMorph

5. Laniatus

6. Distress

7. Soulrot

8. Saturation

9. Transition
