ANGER AS ART Joined By Yet Another Member Of ABATTOIR

June 10, 2009

Los Angeles thrashers ANGER AS ART have been joined by guitarist/vocalist Daniel Oliverio (ABATTOIR).

"With all due respect to [former guitarist] William [Rustrum], it was clear that musically he was moving in a different direction… a lot more progressive, and perhaps fusion than the formula that ANGER AS ART consists of," says guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines. "With Dan, there are no surprises. We have known each other for nearly 30 years. His rhythm style is so similar to mine — heavy palm mute, vibrato, and use of harmonics — that it is uncanny. Not to mention that he has a great voice, so the lead vocal trade off we have done since the beginning of ANGER AS ART will continue."

On the subject of ANGER AS ART's forthcoming CD, Gaines states, "Remember, this album was written before the last tour was done. So it is definitely an ANGER AS ART record. I want to say that no one should think that the line between ABATTOIR and ANGER AS ART will ever be blurred. They are separate entities — no one ever confused either band thus far in our history. Even with these guys involved, it sounds like ANGER as opposed to ABATTOIR."

ANGER AS ART's current lineup:

Steve Gaines - vocals, guitar
Angelo Espino - bass guitar
Rob Alaniz - drums
Daniel Oliverio - guitar, vocals

ANGER AS ART will enter the studio soon to begin recording its new album, "Disfigure", tentatively due this fall via Old School Metal Records. The CD will once again be produced and mixed by Chris Trent.

Songtitles set to appear on the album include:

* Crush
* Appease an Angry God
* It Feels Like Blood
* Master Becomes Slave
* Dissention
* I Am Your Enemy
* Anger Is A Gift
* Seed of Hate
* Disfigure
* They All Fall Down

ANGER AS ART's last album, "Callous and Furor", was released on October 31, 2006 via Old School Metal Records.
