Master are one of the earliest proponents of Death Metal and are veritable legends in the line, having been around for over three decades and releasing over a dozen records. It’s phenomenal to get a chance to work with a band of their repute and we can only be grateful to be given a chance to work with them for a brand new full length this year if not more. Master’s latest album ‘Vindictive Miscreant’ will not only please their old fans but will also turn many new listeners into one. It’s their best album in years.

Transcending Obscurity Records label owner Kunal Choksi says, “It’s truly a dream come true to work with a legendary band in Master. Paul Speckmann proved to be a man of rare integrity and signed the contract within two hours of bringing up the topic. Needless to say, I will be doing my utmost best not to let him down and do greater things for his band, now and in the future. This is a very fortuitous signing for the label and I couldn’t be happier. Hard work does pay off, it seems, when there was little respite. Thanks to Rogga Johansson of Paganizer for highly recommending my label to the band. Here’s hoping for a strong partnership with the legends Master.”

Master’s founder Paul Speckmann comments: “Of course it’s an honor and a privilege in these days to sign to a reputable label which comes highly recommended by many excellent musicians! The future of Master carries on and we will fight until the end!”

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. Croatian death hoard HANGED will provide support for select dates.

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). Kaotoxin Records is tentatively planning an early 2014 release.

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.

MASTER – Czech Death Metal Band: New Album Info & Track Unveiled!

Posted in Death Metal, death metal albums, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on February 4, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Legendary Czech Death Metal legion MASTER have completed work on their eleventh studio offering. Entitled The New Elite, the 11-track work of deviance was again recorded at Shaark Studios and features cover art by German graphic designer Mark Bridgeman, viewable at THIS LOCATION.

Commented MASTER founding bassist/vocalist Paul Speckmann: “The New Elite deals with the problems we face in society at this current time. The rich are getting richer and the poor are starving on the streets all around the world while men battle each other for world dominance! Governments are grabbing the world by the balls and dictating the new rules of the soon-to-be New Elite, while the youth of today just sit down and take it. I really wonder if and when the youth of today will take a stand against these crazy fucked-up, ruthless world leaders. The time has come to stand up and be counted!”

To check out “Smile As You’re Told,” the fourth track off the new offering, click here: Pulverised Records SoundCloud Page.

THE NEW ELITE – Track Listing:

01) The New Elite
