ALL SHALL PERISH: New Album Update

January 26, 2011

Oakland, California extreme metal band ALL SHALL PERISH is putting the finishing touches on its fourth album for a late spring release via Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented guitarist Ben Orum: "Guitars, bass and drums are complete for the new ALL SHALL PERISH record. This week we wrap up vocals and then mixing begins with Zach Ohren!

"I have never been this excited about a release. This is going to be ALL SHALL PERISH's finest hour."

Video footage of Ben Orum playing his eight-string Ibanez guitar along to some pre-production recordings of the new material can be viewed below.

Orum recently stated about ALL SHALL PERISH's upcoming CD, "It is safe to say this will be one of the most aggressive, epic, groovy records we have ever written."

ALL SHALL PERISH last year parted ways with original drummer Matt Kuykendall and replaced him with Adam Pierce. The group stated at the time, "It's always tough to part ways with a longtime member and friend, but it was absolutely necessary in order to maintain forward progress."

ALL SHALL PERISH's most recent lead guitarist, Jason Richardson, left the band and joined BORN OF OSIRIS. He has since been replaced by Francesco Artusato from Treviso, Italy.

"Awaken The Dreamers", the latest CD from ALL SHALL PERISH, was released on vinyl for the first time in March 2010 via Pure Noise. An extremely limited pressing, it is available in two eye-striking patterns; 300 copies are clear with red splatter and 600 are half black/half red, literally split in half between the two colors.

METALLICA's Kirk Hammett named "Awaken The Dreamers" as one of his 25 favorite albums of the past decade in an issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

"Awaken The Dreamers" sold around 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 126. The follow-up to "The Price of Existence" was recorded once again at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland with producer Zack Ohren.
