With the release of Imperium, the first new album in over a decade from New York City-based death metal institution, INTERNAL BLEEDING, now less than one week away, the gate keepers at Cvlt Nation are pleased to spew forth the debilitating rumble of the eighth cut, "Placate The Ancients."
Comments bassist Jay Liff of the tune, "'Placate The Ancients' has kind of an old-school INTERNAL BLEEDING vibe to it -- I think that's because of how the song flows from one riff to the next. It always reminds me of some of the band's demos from the 1990s. The riff and tempo changes are pretty dramatic in parts, yet they still have that patented IB groove that flows through it all. I think that's the key to this song; the flow."
Get brutal with "Placate The Ancients" at THIS LOCATION.
Produced by the band and Joe Cincotta at Full Force Studio (Suffocation, Dehumanized, Mortal Decay) in Ronkonkoma, New York and engineered by Cincotta and Derek Boyer, Imperium serves as the band's most inexorable and enraged output to date delivering ten sonically pulverizing tracks including a trilogy featuring guest appearances by Suffocation's Terrance Hobbs and Frank Mullen as well as former INTERNAL BLEEDING throat Frank Rini. The Sludgelord hails, "There's a charisma and personality in an album like Imperium and in a band like INTERNAL BLEEDING that is simply absent in so much of the brutal, technical or slamming death metal that's put out there these days...This is an album worth going out of your way to hear," Dead Rhetoric dubs the record, "a massive slab of slamming death metal, but done with some actual intellect," furthering, "time changes, solos? Who knew these could all be accomplished within the slam playbook? Ahh, that's right, these guys are the ones who originally wrote that book," while Angry Metal Guy adds, "It's inspiring to hear one of the bands that pioneered a genre almost a quarter of a century ago stretch it into new and refreshing territories."
In conjunction with the official descent of Imperium, INTERNAL BLEEDING will crumble stages across North America as part of this year's Carnival Of Death gala. Slated to embark on October 3rd, 2014 in New York City, the tour will leave nearly two-dozen cities in ruin, coming to a close on November 3rd, 2014, in Montreal. The band will be joined by with Suffocation, Kataklysm, Jungle Rot and Pyrexia.
