On September 7th, Metal Blade Records will release The Passage Of Existence, the new album by Florida death metal legends Monstrosity – the band’s first album in 11 years!
For a preview of The Passage Of Existence, click here
Monstrosity’s Lee Harrison (drums) comments about the new single: “Unleashing the third single from ‘The Passage of Existence’, this time it is ‘Radiated’. A unbridled punishing song that is one for the ages. ‘Radiated’ delivers like a dense brick to the face, combining all of the ferociousness that Monstrosity fans have come to expect. We would like to thank the fans for their undying support and we look forward to your comments and reactions to the tune. Crank it up!”
Lee Harrison recorded his drum tracks at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with veteran metal producer Jason Suecof. A week was spent creating rock solid drum tracks. Guitar and bass tracks were handled at Ascension Sound in Tampa with the vocal tracks being recorded at Obituary’s “Redneck Studios” in Gibsonton, Florida. The mix was handled by producer Mark Lewis (Megadeth, etc), and the resulting 2018 album, The Passage Of Existence, was born. 12 tracks of masterfully crafted death metal for the modern era from the standard bearers of extreme art. Monstrosity still stand taller than ever, still delivering their brand of state of the art sonic devastation!

On September 7th, Metal Blade Records will release Warning Blast, the debut album by multinational allstar death metallers Siege Of Power!
For a preview of Warning Blast, the third single, “Violence In The Air”, can be heard here
The band comments: “‘Violence in the Air’ is the 3rd single of our album ‘Warning Blast’. A short midtempo track, which is a bit more beatdown crossover – which displays a good view on what Siege Of Power is all about.”
Siege Of Power is:
Chris Reifert – Vocals (Autopsy, Violation Wound, Abscess, Painted Doll)
Paul Baayens – Guitars (Asphyx, ex-Hail of Bullets, Thanatos)
Theo van Eekelen – Bass (ex-Hail of Bullets, ex-Houwitser, ex-Grand Supreme Blood Court)
Bob Bagchus – Drums (ex-Asphyx, Soulburn, ex-Grand Supreme Blood Court)
No bullshit compromises of any kind whatsoever. That’s what Siege Of Power is all about! Siege Of Power started in 2013 as a project without any expectations. Shortly after releasing a split album it was left for dead, buried and almost forgotten until the rotten corpse was exhumed in 2017. This resulted in a no-nonsense extreme metal album mixed with several doomdozers. Influences vary from Carnivore and SOD to Discharge and Amebix, done in their own style.
