London-based Death Metal merchants DECREPID have inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of their sophomore album sometime in 2014. The band has been getting a strong reputation within the british scene since the release of their debut album "Devoted to Death" in 2011 which was oriinally self-released on 12" vinyl and later on released on CD by Heretic Death Call Prod. in 2012.
This is what guitarist Danny Price had to say about their new deal: "We are very proud to be signing to a label with such great bands, the likes of Rottrevore, Hallows Eve and Avulsed have been a staple sound track to many nights and most definitely have had an impact on my compositions and guitar playing in one way or another and the chance to work with someone like Dave Rotten could not be ignored. I think this is the best way forward for DECREPID and I look forward to the release of our next full length album. Until then drink up, be merry and raise hell fuckers! - Danny".
The band replaced their originaly drummer by Donna Grimshaw in 2012 and have recently recorded a 4-song demo still unreleased, but can be heard on their own Youtube channel as well as some of the album tunes and live clips here: www.youtube.com/Decrepiddeath Any lover of real Death Metal with a classic approach, heavy sound and powerful riffing, should defintely give a good listening to DECREPID!!

BENEFACTOR DECEASE
10.5.2013
A new band has joined the Thrash legions of Xtreem Music and they're none than one of the leading acts of the 2nd generation of greek Thrash Metal called BENEFACTOR DECEASE. This Athenian combo was formed back in 2007 releasing a demo and a 12" mini LP in '08 followed by a split CD with NADIMAC the year after. Then the band entered on hiatus between 2010-2012 after which they returned with full force with enough songs for their debut album.
In spring 2013 the band got in touch with Xtreem Music with whom they have just signed a deal for the release of "Anatomy of an Angel", the band's first full length album which is currently being recorded at their own Parafiliak Studios for a tentative release after summer of the same year. The style of BENEFACTOR DECEASE is a raw, fast and violent yet technical Thrash Metal grabbing influences from bands like CORONER, RIGOR MORTIS, DARK ANGEL, SLAYER, SADUS…
Cover artwork for "Anatomy of an Angel" was done by great artist Andrei Bouzikov who created such an awesome painting for what will be a great album that will for sure take the European Thrash Metal scene by surprise!!

TRALLERY
3.5.2013
Spanish Thrash Metal newcomers TRALLERY have reached an agreement with Xtreem Music for the exclusive worldwide distribution and promotion of their debut album "Catalepsy". Coming out from various local acts and previously playing as a METALLICA cover band, TRALLERY finally decided to start the recordings of their album in summer 2012 finishing in December of the same year that's when they got in contact with Xtreem Music who immediately shown interest in the band. After some months where the band had to deal with various matters, specially the making of the cover art by renowned artist Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Cannabis Corpse, Skeleton Witch, Deathraiser…) and their participation on the Wacken battle of bands of which they were winners of the whole Spanish territory, resulting on the band's inclusion on Wacken 2013, TRALLERY is ready to release this album and June 1st is the chosen date for its release date.
TRALLERY plays and stunning brand of classic Thrash Metal with a fresh sound and varied dynamics resulting on extremely catchy yet both melodic and aggressive tunes with an outstanding instrumental and vocal performances that makes of this band one of the most hopeful formations on the healthy Spanish Thrash Metal scene.
SORCERY has come to an agreement with Xtreem Music for the re-issue on CD of their legendary debut album from 1991 "Bloodchilling Tales" together with their previous 7"EP from 1990 "Rivers of the Dead", both with remastered sound for the first time and a totally revamped artwork and layout. This new re-issue comes under the title of "Legacy of Blood" and has been released last month by swedish labels To The Death & Blood Harvest on 12"LP vinyl format.
This album was out of print on its original CD version for a few years already and since the layout, sound and original cover were of poor quality, the band decided to give it a completely new look. However, original cover art both from the album, EP, photos and lyrices are being included on the new design for everyone's enjoyment.
SORCERY's debut 7"EP caused quite an impact in the swedish scene back in 1990 as well as their debut album a year later, being considered one of the leading Death Metal bands in their country together with acts like ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, CARNAGE, GROTESQUE... creating their own sounding DM style with a devilish feel resulting on a cult album for any lover of swedish Death Metal.
Release date for CD version of "Legacy of Blood" will be May 10th. You can actually see the album cover on big size and listen to an album track on the following link:

CHRIST DENIED
24.4.2013
Legendary spanish Brutal Christophobic Death Metallers CHRIST DENIED, who got reactivated in late 2011, have been hard working on their long awaited sophomore album after their acclaimed debut in 1996 "...Got What He Deserved" and various split CD's and their collection CD "Drink... Drink the Blood!" from 2004. This work has resulted in 8 new songs plus a cover song of IMPRECATION which will be featured on the new album that will be entitled "Cancer Eradication", that continues where the band left, combining all elements of their different recordings and for sure will not dissapoint any of their fans.
Recordings are almost finished and the album is expected to be released during the first days of June, right before the very first shows of the band in its history. Yes, CHRIST DENIED will perform live, something unthinkable until Roger Infected joined the band replacing David Nigger. So far, the band has already been confirmed for three festivals for this year:
At the moment there's no more shows expected and the band wants to keep it this way, just offering very few and selected live appearances, So don't miss your chance to experience the relentless blasting & guttural performance of CHRIST DENIED on stage while you can!!
Hereby we can reveal the artistically blasphemous cover artwork for "Cancer Eradication", a magistral piece of ART made by greek artist Gerasimos Kolokas, an artist rarely (if ever) used on extreme Metal, but which perfectly captured the essence of the ancient paintings, giving it a totally gloomy and macabre atmosphere. If you want to check the cover art on bigger size with more detail, vist the band's official Facebook at:
www.facebook.com/ChristDeniedOfficial
As soon as the recording, mixing & mastering process of the new album are finished, the band will post one advance song on their official Facebook as well, so keep an aye open for it!! The war against christian hypocrisy is fiercer than ever and CHRIST DENIED are already embarked on their second crusade to eradicate the worst cancer of humanity!!

Later on, bass player Tom "evil" Hill, who already played on the demo, joined the band as permanent member, followed by Sebastián Salce (guitar) as well, completing the line up and starting to create new tunes of the most violent and perverse Death/ Thrash for their debut album.

DISSECT
7.1.2013
The wait is over... and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of one Holland's most brutal releases in the Death Metal camp of early 90's, XTREEM MUSIC is tremendously proud to announce the re-issue of DISSECT's only album "Swallow Swouming Mass" together with the band's 4 demos in a killer double CD set, followed by two separate vinyl releases later on, including the album in one and demos in another.
Emerged in 1990, DISSECT recorded three demos in '91 & '92 before recording their classic "Swallow Swouming Mass" album for Cyber Music and years later, in '97, the band recorded a 4th demo in a totally different style, more into Technical Death/Thrash after which, they disbanded.
With a fucking heavy, crushing and pounding Death Metal style blending influences from some very early and heavier version of GOREFEST, GRAVE, FUNEBRE and even ROTTREVORE, dutch DISSECT managed to create hell of a killer album that gets a new chance in 2013, just when the band decided to reform with all its original members to offer new shows and who knows what else.
The re-issue of "Swallow Swouming Mass" is expected to come out in February 1st, and as said, will come out on a complete double CD set containing an extensive 16-pages booklet full of band pictures, liner notes, lyrics, demo covers, flyers… and remastered sound for all recordings. You can already listen to a newly remastered song here:
