INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEATHWARDS striking debut demo, Towards Death, to be released on cassette 8/6/18.
DEATHWARDS formed in 2017, comprising veterans of the metal underground, and within five months had recorded their very first demo. As aptly titled as their moniker, DEATHWARDS 'Towards Death' is a timeless, trend-bucking slab of thrashing Metal of Death. Across the five furious-yet-finessed songs here, the band conjoin the primal essence of '80s Slayer, Slaughter Lord, Van Drunen-era Pestilence, and Voivod's early work, but tweak it with a more technical aspect ala Sindrome, Sadus, and Obliveon. It's a classic-yet-fresh blend between influences and authentic ideas, instead of mere copycat-ism or rote rehashing of older, better ideas. Altogether, including a reverential cover of Infernal Majesty's "Overlord", DEATHWARDS opening salvo is as furious as it is catchy, iron-clad in its approach yet bespeaking more development to come.
