Polish death/black metal tyrants AZARATH have unveiled a new song from their forthcoming album 'In Extremis', which is set to be released on April 7th via Agonia Records.
Touted as a "demonic mutation of Krisiun and Behemoth with shades of Immolation", AZARATH stand up to their wicked name. The band's death metal is crisp, black, and while it possesses the charm of their American counterparts, it remains open-minded and organic. This should not come as a surprise, considering the AZARATH's impressive line-up and cemented position as one the the best Polish acts of the genre. The band was formed in 1998 by drummer Inferno (of Behemoth fame). He's accompanied by Bart (Armagedon, Damnation) on guitars, Necrosodom (Anima Damnata, Deus Mortem, ex-Infernal War) on vocals and guitars, as well as Peter (ex-Lost Soul) on bass. Meaning "at the point of death" or "under extreme circumstances" in Latin, 'In Extremis' is yet another apex reached by AZARATH. Offering a vehement ride through the netherworlds, the effort places the band back at the fore of the genre, with strong ties to the group's early cult albums. The eerie painting that adorns the album's cover was made by Marta Promińska (Hypnagogic Painting). Recorded in various locations between March and November 2016, 'In Extremis' was mixed and mastered by Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio. Graphic design and layout were done by Mentalporn (Behemoth, Origin, Decapitated) with calligraphy provided by Ihasan Art and additional work by Holy Poison Design. Tracklisting: 1. The Triumph of Ascending Majesty 2. Let My Blood Become His Flesh 3. Annihilation (Smite All the Illusions) 4. The Slain God 5. At the Gates of Understanding 6. Parasu Blade 7. Sign of Apophis 8. Into the Nameless Night 9. Venomous Tears (Mourn of the Unholy Mother) 10. Death www.facebook.com/AzarathBand agoniarecords.com
