Dawn Of Azazel Releasing New Album "The Tides Of Damocles"

Long-running, New Zealand-based progressive death metal band Dawn Of Azazel will release a fourth full-length next month on April 28th. Titled "The Tides Of Damocles," the ten track slab of sonic violence is the trio's first output in six years following 2009's "Relentless" long-player.

"The Tides Of Damocles" was recorded, mixed, and mastered last year at Mana Recording Studios (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Goatwhore, et al) in Tampa, Florida by Brian Elliot and J.J. Hrubovcak. A name referencing the ocean as a metaphor for the forces of life that constantly assail and erode the will of those who seek power, "The Tides Of Damocles" thrusts forth forty-eight minutes of harrowing, surgically precise death metal mastery.

Comments the band of this latest work: "We're excited as fuck to resurface with this record. It has an anger and a dynamism that reflects the reasons we've been silent for a several years, and our aggression moving forward in spite of these obstacles. We couldn't be more proud of this record as our contribution of something ferocious and unique to the death metal genre."
