Richmond, Virginia-based LEFT CROSS presents âUnbinding The Covenant,â the second single from the bandâs impending second album, Upon Desecrated Altars, nearing release November 10th on Profound Lore Records.
Emerging in 2015 with a uniquely hostile brand of war charged death metal, LEFT CROSS quickly established themselves as a merciless live act seemingly incapable of restraint. Forging and refining their sound over several releases, LEFT CROSS continued their relentless assault while losing none of their murderous intent. Now veterans of countless campaigns, LEFT CROSS returns to unleash their second full-length release, Upon Desecrated Altars.
A cacophonous offering, Upon Desecrated Altars joins grotesque melodies with an inhuman vehemence that forgoes any ambiguity. Little to no respite can be found as each track builds upon the devastation of the last, ultimately rising to a crescendo of conquest. With a salvo of blistering solos, thunderous percussion, and infernal commands, LEFT CROSS declares victory and marches onward.
Upon Desecrated Altars was recorded by Matthew Michel at Viva Studio, mixed by Arthur Rizk, mastered by Dan Lowndes/Resonance Sound, and features art by Duje Aljinovic.

Upon Desecrated Altars will be released on LP, CD, and digital platforms through Profound Lore on November 10th. Find preorders/presaves where âThe Blood Of Marsâ is streaming HERE. A cassette version is being planned by Stygian Black Hand.
