Gorgoroth

"Under the Sign Of Hell 2011"
Re-recordings are hardly a new phenomenom in the metal world. Arch Enemy, Destruction, Dimmu Borgir, Exodus, Satan’s Host and Vader among many other have seen it a viable business practice to re-record older, harder to find and sometimes forgotten song material within their current line-up and production facilities. While a small percentage of these re-recordings are actually warranted (Destruct...

Abhordium

"When Depravity Incarnates"
In a world that is flooded with amateurish to mediocre releases from both labels and independent outfits, a world where every underground band sounds like hundreds of others and copying one successful unit into oblivion is the modus operandi, it is a breath of fresh air to hear an act as convincing as Abhordium.

  • Grave Desecrator sign to Pulverised

    2011-10-06

    Brazilian death metallers GRAVE DESECRATOR have officially joined the Pulverised Records extreme metal family.

    Formed in 1998 and backed by two full-length albums and a string of EPs, GRAVE DESECRATOR remains one of the few remaining Brazilian acts true to its untamed and barbaric form of death metal darkness.

    Commented bassist Necrogoat on the union: "We're really ravished to be signed with Pulverised Records, a label that really fits to our music in terms of ideological aspects and works professionally. We are sure this partnership will result in a tormenting sonic deliverance that will lead you all to a thunderous and malignant holocaust! The new album shall come in 2012, and we promise it will not disappoint! It will contain lots of good surprises on it, but with the same infamous essence we have become known for! We are really eager for this release! We are the BRAZILIAN BLACKEST METAL MASSACRE!"

    Added Pulverised Records' A&R Manager Calvin Chiang also added: "Anyone with a knowledge of traditional Brazilian death metal will know most distinguishing quality: its rabid, unstoppable force of christ-bashing sonic blasphemy. GRAVE DESECRATOR is of course no exception and we believe the follow-up to (2012) Insult will definitely exceed our expectations. GRAVE DESECRATOR shall carry the burning flag of old school Brazilian death metal up high and be prepared for one of the most lethal death metal albums in 2012!"

    The band is currently readying for a wide scale massacre of Europe in the Spring of 2012. Check out the video clip for the "Desecrating Europe Tour 2012" here: www

    GRAVE DESECRATOR is:
    Butcherazor - Vocals / Guitars
    Black Sin And Damnation - Guitars
    Necrogoat - Bass
    Slaughterer - Drums
