The Pathway To Everlasting Nothingness

Sacramento technical death metal militia, ALTERBEAST, are pleased to unleash their full-length debut via Unique Leader this Spring! Titled Immortal, the eight track monster offering was meticulously assembled in several locals throughout 2013. With guitars and bass recorded at Augmented Audio in Los Angeles with former The Black Dahlia Murder bassist Ryan “Bart” Williams, vocals arranged at Mayhemeness Studios in Sacramento by Bob Swanson (Rings Of Saturn, Plague Window et al) and drums tracked at Castle Ultimate Studios with Zack Ohren (Light This City, All Shall Perish, First Blood, Cattle Decapitation, Warbringer et al), who also mixed and mastered the release, Immortal promises to deliver some of the most dynamic, instrumentally adept and plainly crushing material of the year.

Elaborates vocalist Cam Rogers of the outcome: “Immortal is what was spawned from hard work, dedication, and downright brutal musicianship. It has intricate solos, absolutely crushing interludes and brutal circle-pit anthems. ALTERBEAST sets the scene with grievous piano preceding the onset of ‘Flesh Bound Text’ which comes in with blistering drums and guitars effortlessly making their way around the fret board. Every piece truly has its own personality on this record, whether it’s the apocalyptic soundscapes of ‘Ancient’s Retribution,’ the devastating aggression of ‘Vile Remnants’ or the unmerciful grooves in ‘Throne of Maggots.’ This album has something for every listener and comes together seamlessly to form as a breathtaking whole. Immortal is  exactly what we intended it to be: a gripping and intense death metal album.”

Immortal Track Listing:
1. Flesh Bound Text
2. Of Decimus Divine
3. Vile Remnants
4. Ancient’s Retribution
5. Mutilated Marvel
6. Into Oblivion
7. Serpentspire
8. Throne of Maggots

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 irate expulsion of sonic deviance. After a year of dedicated song-crafting, ALTERBEAST unleashed their first demo in 2012 and officially waged war on the populace with numerous 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.

Immortal will rear its head upon the masses on March 18, 2014 via Unique Leader. Further intel, including preorder links, to be announced in the coming days.

ALTERBEAST Personnel:

Cam Rogers – Vocals
Rusty Cornell – Guitar

Michael Zamora – Bass
Gabe Seeber (The Kennedy Veil, Decrepit Birth, Abysmal Dawn et al) – Drums

ALTERBEAST - "Vile Remnants"

ALTERBEAST - Flesh Bound Text

ALTERBEAST - Ancient's Retribution

Spirit Breaking Free

Swedish death metal inspired by Dismember, Immolation, Blood Red Throne, Bloodbath, Morbid Angel and many more.

Lyrics:
Empires form from sand and gravel
Reaching towering heights
A pyramid scheme of fathomless extent
The weakest call to arms

With ease indoctrinated
Choose your colors and march
Allow the drum to echo
Surrender to its infectious pace

Tyranny, enslavement
The ways of our wretched world
Strive forward with eyes shut
But your word is not your own

We are the suffering, we are the death
The endless waste of flesh and blood
We are disorder, we are the decadence
The endless tragedy, the symptoms of mankind

Multiply the defect, generate and procreate
Populate and organize, degenerate to verminous state

Sectarian breed, this perpetual machinery
Sectarian breed, the ethereal design
We are infected, the earth's brooding cancer
We are but mortal men dwelling in the suffering we create

Sectarian Breed

From the album, KOLOSS. Out March 23rd (Europe) and March 26, 2012 (North America) via Nuclear Blast Records.

Do Not Look Down

MESHUGGAH - Do Not Look Down

Legendary kings of death metal DYING FETUS have reemerged after a nearly three year wait to deliver Reign Supreme, their most crushing and focused album to date. Simultaneously pushing the boundaries of brutality and technicality while returning to their uncompromising roots, Reign Supreme offers nine tracks of face pummeling insanity. Mind bending musicianship coalesces with earth shattering breakdowns, their infamous dual vocal attack and relentless sociopolitical commentary. Reign Supreme accomplishes exactly what the title implies, mounting DYING FETUS atop the death metal throne!

Solitary confinement of their minds 
Infesting urge to kill 
Twisted swarm of savage lust and hate 
Enforcers of capital punishment 

Thrust into a ravenous crowd 
Convicted of crime, last words denied 

Psychological torture, their vengeance incomplete 
Families of murder victims, fiends for a remedy 
Therapeutic slaughter, an example for the weak 
 Justice without a system, Death on your TV screen 

Face the guillotine! 

Cephalectomy! 
Unsatisfied without blood on their hands 
They need to kill again 
Pleading for mercy 
Beg for the end 
Let them feed! 

Solitary confinement of their minds 
Infesting urge to kill 
Twisted swarm of savage lust and hate 
Enforcers of capital punishment 

Feeding frenzy, dismemberment 
Blood for the masses! 

Unrelenting prisoners are running out of time 
Trying to escape their sentence, claims of insanity 
Denied by the judges hammer, detained by demented beasts 
Dragged from the jury’s chambers, into a pit of hell 

Face the guillotine! 

Cephalectomy! 
Unsatisfied without blood on their hands 
They need to kill again 
Pleading for mercy 
Beg for the end 
Let them feed! 

Fountains of blood, cover the crowd! 

Disgrace the corpse, pleasure for gore 
Post-mortal rape, ejaculate 
Scattered remains, among a mass grave 
Slaughtered in public.

Cephalectomy
