"Saying this album has long been waited for would not be enough. Saying this album has come up expectations would not be enough all the more. Anima Damnata delivers the most evil and furious blackened death metal... Totally killing blast beats, schizophrenic guitar, crushing bass guitar parts and sepulchral vocals make you think of the greatest of the genre!" More...

Complete Failure Streaming New Song

Pittsburgh's Complete Failure is now streaming the second new track off forthcoming album, "Crossburner." The track, another aggressive slab of grind and hardcore titled "Fist First, Second to None" is streaming below.

"Crossburner" will be released worldwide by Season of Mist on October 27th. Regarding the new track, vocalist Joe Mack comments: "'Fist First, Second to None' is the most important track on the album. Its a track about being rendered defenseless in society. Backed into a corner. I don't speak for any definitive groups of people or small circles or communities or even anyone else in this band for that matter, but in my life I've found that there are very very few things to be considered 100% truth.

"One of those truths is that we as a people individually are not in any way shape or form 'created equal' and to attempt to live as such would be purely ignorant and morally wrong on all imaginable levels. What one single decision that's right for some could be the complete opposite for others. Whats right for tomorrow might not be whats right for today."

New album "Crossburner" was recorded by the band, and features album art and design by Joe Mack. The track listing is available below. More...

Suicide Silence Announces "The Cleansing" Tour

One of the most prolific albums in the history of the deathcore genre is easily Suicide Silence's debut offering, "The Cleansing," originally released on September 18th, 2007 and debuting at #94 on the Billboard Top 200 charts.

Suicide Silence will officially commemorate the album's special 10 year anniversary release by embarking on a lengthy North America tour performing the album is its entirety every night. This touring package will feature Upon A Burning Body, Winds of Plague (on select dates), Slaughter To Prevail, and Prison. It kicks off November 7th in Oakland and wraps up December 17th in Hollywood, CA.

Mark Heylmun (guitars) states: "10 fucking years!! 'The Cleansing' was a record we wrote when most of us were in our early 20’s. I was in my teens still! My has the time flown by. All we knew back then was we wanted to offend ppl and piss in the face of the mainstream (Dying Fetus pun intended). We've wanted to do a commemorative tour for this record for years now and the time has come. 'The Cleansing' broke us into the metal world and the record came from a very special place, a fresh place, a place that words fail when I try to describe it, and without it...well we wouldn't be here attempting to describe it.

"Mitch had a vision for this record, he wanted to set a standard for our scene and in my eyes he created much much more. Since his passing, Eddie has payed homage to Mitch's vox on this record every night. It’s something very close to our hearts to have Eddie singing these songs with us. Mitch and Eddie inspired each other, exchanged vocal tips, and both have the passion for the most brutal sounds you can humanly make and it's going to be an amazing show for us and for you. Emotions will be high, maybe we will be high too, you don't want to miss this. Let's fucking party! Come celebrate with us cuz this will only happen once!" More...

Exhumed Posts "Lifeless" Video

Gore metal maniacs Exhumed just shared an official music video for "Lifeless," taken off impending new full-length album "Death Revenge." Issues frontman Matt Harvey:

"Following sequentially through the album's track list, we are stoked to lay 'Lifeless' on you. 'Defenders Of The Grave' is the introduction for the tale of Death Revenge and 'Lifeless' sets the actual plot that continues for the rest of the record in motion. Fitting with the vibe of the storyline as a whole, the clip focuses more on story elements and vibe rather than close up shots of guitar-noodling. I think it sets the tone nicely. Cheers!"

New album "Death Revenge" is set for release this coming October 13th on CD, LP, deluxe LP with cassette, and digital formats via Relapse Records. The band also recently announced a short run of live dates in November with The Black Dahlia Murder, Suffocation, Decrepit Birth and more as well as a performance at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest on November 5th in San Bernardino, California.
