After the scorching Demise LP in 2021, LACERATIONâs I Erode showcases years of work and subtle refinement manifested in the bandâs most assured and vicious material to date. Absolutely loaded with hallmarks of US death metalâs peak era, I Erode vehemently explodes out of the gate with merciless riffs, savage tempos, tastefully fleshripping solos, and the malevolent undercurrents of aggressive death thrash perfection. Striking an ideal balance of technical and straightforward, high-speed and mid-paced breaks, and a concise, to the point attack packed with variety, I Erode offers a purely addictive shot of real death metal adrenaline in a lineage that includes Demolition Hammer to Morgoth to Suffocation.
While perhaps invoking a sense of nostalgia, the fact is, LACERATIONâs evolved confidence and commitment to a songâs unsparing execution erases any focus on era on I Erode. The dedication to death metalâs timelessness and high standards for true acknowledgment marks LACERATIONâs output now more than ever.
Recorded at Dark Corners Studios by Matt Harvey of Exhumed and Gruesome, mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios (Undergang, Vastum, Ulthar, High On Fire), and completed with artwork by James Bousema (Frozen Soul, Kerry King, Celestial Sanctuary, Morgul Blade), photography by Bill Batchalor, and layout by Dan Fried, LACERATIONâs I Erode is a crucial listen for fans of Malevolent Creation, Dawn Of Possession-era Immolation, Devastation, Monstrosity, Morbid Angel, Asphyx, Pestilence, Demolition Hammer, Skeletal Remains, Morgoth, and Master.
I Erode will be released July 26th on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats. Preorders can be placed at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE, and watch the âStrangled By Hatredâ video HERE.
