Decrepitaph Prepares To Record New Album

Texas death metallers Decrepitaph have issued the following update about preparing to record a new album:

"We've been getting some e-mails lately asking about the next album. I guess most people don't realize 'Condemned Cathedral' has only been out for 9 months! But, here is the scoop on the next one...

"We will be recording the next album in the middle/end of September 2009. This album will contain 9 songs and run around 45 minutes in length. You can expect much of the same style that appeared on the debut album, with a few minor twists and turns here and there. There are a few more doomy parts, a few more blasting parts, a couple thrashy parts, and a HEAVIER sound. We are recording the album the same DIY way as before and once again, Patrick Bruss of Crypticus will be doing the mixing/mastering for us.

"We honestly believe the second album will be far superior to the debut. I know every band says that, but we basically took every song we had (and a couple old ones) and recorded them all for 'Condemned Cathedral'.. With this next album, we wrote 18 songs over the past year and are picking the best 9 to be recorded. Also, we have a couple other songs written for some upcoming releases next year as well and hopefully we can get those recorded in the late fall/early winter of 2009.

"The album title and tracklisting will be unveiled at a later date. The cover art will once again be done by Metal Mark who did 'Condemned Cathedral' as well as our 'Summoned For Sacrifice' split EP and the inside art on the 'Resurrected and Rotting' EP.

"The best news we have to report is this follow up album will also be coming out on Razorback Records! We have turned down a couple other offers from interested labels and have chosen to stick with Razorback as there is simply no other label out there that captures what we are about better than them. The release date is planned for January of 2010 and it should come out on schedule since we are recording 4 months in advance and getting the art/layout ready ahead of time as well.

"In the meantime, everyone head over to this location to hear a sample from the FESTERED album that will be coming in the fall of 2009 on Razorback Records! This band features Elektrokutioner of Decrepitaph and Ghoat of Father Befouled! It is total ripping 80's style Death/Thrash from Hell!

"Thanks to everyone for the support!"
