ALTER BEAST ANNOUNCES NORTHAMERICAN TOUR

Here is the press statement:

"Sacramento progressive death metal unit, ALTERBEAST, will ravage North America this Spring on a near month-long bout of live incursions supporting Boris The Blade and Abiotic. The takeover will commence on April 12th in Shreveport, Louisiana and squash twenty-two cities, with the final performance to take place on May 7th in Camarillo, California. Comments the band, “Coming this April, you can catch us on tour with the mighty Abiotic co-headlining with Boris The Blade! Along with these amazing dudes, we’ll be tearing it up with Reaping Asmodeia and our labelmates, Lord Of War! Do not miss this tour because we do not want to miss you!”"

"In celebration of the tour, today Gear Gods is hosting a special “Flesh Bound Text” guitar play-through video, noting, “There’s enough shredding to decimate at least 10-20 heads of lettuce (and we’re talking romaine here, not that iceberg bullshit), so you may want to keep your hands at a safe distance unless you can move them as fast as these blazing gents.”"

ALTERBEAST will be touring in support of their brutalizing Immortal full-length, released last year via Unique Leader Records, the dynamic, meticulously executed and unapologetically scathing creation of auditory savagery that continues to earn the approval from fans and media globally. Decibel calls the record, “…sicker-than-a-resurrected-centurion-werewolf…” HeavyBlogIsHeavy notes, “ALTERBEAST have stirred the pot, plunged a claw in and come out with one of the most exciting death metal debuts in recent history… their skills and creativity have crafted an unholy ‘beast’ of a record which plays like a long forgotten demon wreaking havoc on us mere mortals,” This Is Not A Scene said simply, in a 9/10 score, “ALTERBEAST have nailed it on their debut release,” while TechnicalDeathmetal.com gushes in a perfect 10/10 review, “ALTERBEAST’s first full-length combines bludgeoning yet dynamic technicality with neo-classicism Christian Muenzner would envy. The final product gives competition to genre heavyweights like Origin and Archspire for best record of 2014.” Adds Target Audience, “The album is tight, fast and overwhelming… the metal equivalent to climbing into the ring with Mike Tyson… Given the album’s heroically ambitious scope and the confoundingly complicated compositions, this debut has every right to be a mess. But with the production aid of former Black Dahlia Murder bassist Ryan Williams, Rings Of Saturn’s Bob Swanson and Cattle Decapitation drummer Zack Ohren the final product is a seamless piece of intense and relentlessly heavy death metal.”

Formed in 2011 under the working title Gary Busey Amber Alert (GBAA), ALTERBEAST combines the teachings of The Black Dahlia Murder, Necrophagist and Spawn of Possession with the classic death metal mastery of band’s like Dissection and Morbid Angel into an irately cathartic sound expulsion.

CONTINUUM RELEASES "A SURREAL DESCENT" LYRIC VIDEO

Technical death metal band Continuum has just released a lyric video for the track "A Surreal Descent" (check it below). Here is the press statement: 

""The Hypothesis" is the forthcoming new long player from Bay Area technical death metal architects CONTINUUM. Recorded predominantly by lead guitarist/composer Chase Fraser (Decrepit Birth, Animosity), with additional tracking and mixing by Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Fallujah, All Shall Perish et al.) at Castle Ultimate Studios, the ten-track The Hypothesis spews forth a scathing assemblage of engaging, abrasive, surgically precise and unrepentantly violent compositions based conceptually on the mysteries of the infinite and the unsolved theories of the "continuum hypothesis." This hypothesis was studied by a number of mathematicians, many of whom committed suicide before reaching a conclusion to the unfathomable question of infinity.  "

"A true monolith of progressive technical death metal, The Hypothesis will drop next month via Unique Leader Records. In celebration of its release today the death-bringers at the Deciblog offer up the official new lyric video for ninth cut, "A Surreal Descent.""

"Forged in 2009, CONTINUUM features the current working lineup of Fraser alongside guitarist Ivan Munguia (Arkaik, Deeds Of Flesh), vocalist Riley McShane (Son Of Aurelius), bassist Nick Willbrand (Flesh Consumed) and drummer Spencer Edwards (Son Of Aurelius). Together the CONTINUUM collective provides a sound that rocks the very foundation of modern death metal."  

"The Hypothesis" will be released via Unique Leader Records on April 21st, 2015.

GREY SKIES FALLEN RELEASES "INTROSPECTIVE/ ALONG CAME LIFE"

Blackened death doom metal band Grey Skies Fallen will release the "Introspective/Along Came Life" album. The album is a compilation of two previously released EP. Here is the press statement:

"GREY SKIES FALLEN's new "Introspective/Along Came Life" CD, manifesting two prior digital EPs from the New York City-area blackened death/doom metal outfit in a digipak physical form for the first time, is out now directly through the band."

"The fourth release from GREY SKIES FALLEN, the four-song "Along Came Life" EP, was released in 2010, recorded during tumultuous times for the band. This is the last recording with original member Joe D'Angelo on guitar, and sitting in on bass was Paul LaPlaca (October Thorns, Zandelle). Two years later, they released the three-song "Introspective" EP, the 2012 recording captured at a point when the band was technically a three-piece, with Dave Case (Helmet, Afterbirth) providing bass tracks. This EP features the twenty-one minute title track, perhaps the most ambitious recording from the band to date. Both recorded at Keith Moore at his Audio Playground in Patchogue, New York, together, these "lost EPs" fill the void between GSF LPs, bridging 2006's Two Way Mirror, and 2014's The Many Sides of Truth, and now see rebirth in one deluxe digipak CD, displaying the artwork by Travis Smith in a physical delivery for the first time."

"GREY SKIES FALLEN continues to write new material for their follow-up LP to "The Many Sides Of Truth" and other possible prior mini-releases in 2015. Additional news on their upcoming actions for the rest of the year will be announced shortly, including new regional tour dates from the band."

British gothic death metal masters Paradise Lost have issued the following statement: "Our new album ‘The Plague Within’ will be released via Century Media on June 1st, 2015 in Europe and June 2nd, 2015 in North America!"

"We have written a very dark, yet melodic album, but this time many songs definitely have a death metal edge, which is something we haven’t done for a long long time in Paradise Lost…"

‘The Plague Within’ is produced and mixed by Jaime Gomez Arellano from Orgone Studios in London (Ghost BC, Ulver, Cathedral, Angel Witch).

More details will be revealed soon".
