MORBID SAINT - Swallowed By Hell LP
It is quite a small sensation that another MORBID SAINT album is being released these days, more than 30 years after their second LP “Destruction System” was recorded, but up to theirs official release had not been completed recently. However, the prospect of writing new music in their unique death/thrash metal style was one of the main reasons the core members reunited in the first place in 2010. During their first active period from 1984 to '94, the band was far from fulfilling their potential, especially with regard to their groundbreaking first record "Spectrum of Death" (1990). The new work was created through creative long-distance exchange, with all members bouncing ideas off each other to fire off a broadside of ten extreme metal tracks the likes of which are rarely heard today - absolutely devastating and yet musically demanding, pushing boundaries but not in the devil's way come out, and rounded off with artwork by the legendary Ed Repka (Death, Megadeth). “Swallowed By Hell” was recorded by Chris Djuricic (Num Skull, Disinter) at The Belle City Sound Company and received final touches by Scott Elliott at Chernobyl Studios. It smells old school, but has both feet firmly planted in the here and now.
