San Francisco's malevolent death metal overlords ACEPHALIX are
preparing to set their second official full-length loose via Southern Lord this
April, delivering with it some of the most uncompromised, old-school death
metal brutality of the year.
While their first few releases bore a more metal-edged
crustpunk sound, the ACEPHALIX attack has undeniably shown
more death metal influence with each passing release. After the cult
crust/metal scene success of their Aporia LP, released via
Prank Records in 2010, the band dropped two brutal demos -- 2010's Interminable
Night and 2011's Flesh Torn In Twilight, Southern Lord
brought the two demos together and released a one-time CD pressing of 2000
copies which sold out rapidly. Over the past two years ACEPHALIX have
toured relentlessly, doing the Western US with Danish death metal horde
Undergang and also taking part in the Power of the Riff 2011 Summer tour
alongside Black Breath, Winter, Noothgrush, Eyehategod, Pentagram and more.
Now officially a part of the Southern Lord roster and a
major priority for the label, ACEPHALIX are preparing to
assault the planet with their second official full-length, bringing out their
most pulverizing, low-end deathcrushing riffage and cavernous vocal malevolence
yet with Deathless Master. With an incredibly evil, thundering
delivery, the eight hymns harnessed on Deathless Masterwere
recorded with Vöetsek's Jef Leppard, who also recorded Interminable
Night. While their punk/crust heritage is still detectable in their
songwriting, but the primal delivery of the riffs and guttural, horrifying
tone of the vocals on Deathless Master sees the band make the
final transition from into a full-fledged, disgustingly behemoth death metal
unit. ACEPHALIX.
The fiends at Cvlt Nation have once again proven their
loyalty to ACEPHALIX brutal tones by hosting one of the most
rapture-ready tracks from Deathless Master. Behold your face, after
you pick it up, once "On Wings..." rips it off for you RIGHT HERE.
Deathless Master will hit North America April
24th on CD and sometime in June on vinyl. Expect massive touring from ACEPHALIX beginning
in the months just ahead and all through the year.
