Keeper Releasing Split With Sea Bastard

Starting the year with a bang, Keeper and Sea Bastard will soon be releasing a split album. The following press release was issued about the bands:

"From the state of California, Keeper has erupted this year with their debut release ‘MMXIV’, and mowed over all who have listened with the heaviest of agonizing crawls, and a maturity in performance that belies the band’s period of existence. Drawing comparisons to Grief, Cough, and Noothgrush just scratches the surface of their pummelling craft. The track they present in ’777’ is 14 minutes of total despair and anguish; it's a sign that this band have much more in store to deliver to their growing rabid fan-base. This track is already proving itself a milestone for them, and this band is definitely one to watch for the future.

"The flip side to this massive split is balanced out by an equally devastating track from rising crust/doom darlings of the U.K. quartet Sea Bastard. Since their inception in 2011, they have been building a solid name and reputation for themselves with each release they put out. Last year’s album ‘Scabrous’ found itself being put out this year in vinyl form by Dry Cough Records, and saw them rise in leaps of popularity. Not to rest on their haunches, the band continues their mountainous glacier crawl, and gives up the 20+ minute opus ‘Astral Rebirth’, showcasing their ongoing quality of crushing excellence."

1. Keeper - 777
2. Sea Bastard - Astral Rebirth More...

Sunday Old School: Therion

The band began life as Blitzkrieg (not to be confused with the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band of the same name) in Upplands Väsby, located in the Stockholm county, a brainchild of bass player Christofer Johnsson, guitarist Peter Hansson and drummer Oskar Forss and played a style of music similar in sound to Venom. The band lasted only two shows before a falling out with Forss forced the group to fold. The group did reform a few months later however, under the new moniker, Megatherion, taking its name from the classic Celtic Frost album. Johnsson put down the bass in favour of guitar and brought in Johan Hansson as the new bassist, along with drummer, Mika Tovalainenm though shortly after the band shortened their name to Therion, both new members took their leave, with original drummer Forss returning to the fold and Erik Gustafsson, best known as a member of Dismember coming in on bass.

With a name finally decided on and a lineup in place, Therion got to work on their first demo, "Paroxysmal Holocaust," which was released in 1989 and followed the same year by a second demo, "Beyond the Darkest Veils on Inner Wickedness." After a third demo, "Time Shall Tell," recorded the next year, they signed a deal with Deaf Records, through which they released their first full length album, "Of Darkness…" in 1991. It was hailed as one of the first progressive death metal albums, though it received mixed reviews upon release and the band saw it as the shedding of their early death metal skin. More...
