AFTER ALL To Release 'This Violent Decline' In July

June 5, 2006

Belgium's AFTER ALL will release their new album, "This Violent Decline", in Europe on July 31 via Dockyard 1. The follow-up to last year's "The Vermin Breed" was recorded by Dee J. at Hype Studio in Mechelen, Belgium and was mixed by Fredrik Nordström (IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY, SOILWORK) at Studio Fredman in Göteborg, Sweden. Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, HATESPHERE) took care of the mastering at Antfarm Studio in Aabyhoj, Denmark.

"With 'This Violent Decline', AFTER ALL continue refining their trademark thrash metal style," reads a press release. "The album is slightly more melodic than 'The Vermin Breed', with more room for melody lines and vocals. At the same time, 'This Violent Decline' displays more speed, power and heaviness than any of the older AFTER ALL albums."

"This Violent Decline" contains 11 tracks, including a re-recorded version of "Blind Euphoria" (from the 1992 EP "Dusk"). As a bonus track, the album features a video clip for the track "Frozen Skin". Samples of the new album are available on AFTER ALL's MySpace page.

In other news, Metal Coven Records have announced a late June release for the long overdue split EP featuring AFTER ALL and Swedish metallers RAM. Originally, the release of this seven-inch vinyl EP was planned for early 2004. The two AFTER ALL tracks on the EP are "In the Grip of Evil" (cover version of the CYCLONE classic) and "The Devil's Pathway". Both tracks were recorded in 2002 — when the band was preparing the "Mercury Rising" album — and have not been available before. The EP comes in seven-inch black vinyl and is strictly limited to 500 numbered copies.
