Death Metal Vocalist MATTI WAY Returns With New Project

July 17, 2007

After a lengthy hiatus, vocalist Matti Way (DISGORGE, LITURGY, CINERARY) has returned with a new project named BELOW THE ROOT. The new group will feature Wayne Knupp (DEVOURMENT, RUTHLESS BEATINGS) on dual vocals, Russ Crossman (MUTILATED, GUTROT) on guitar, Josh Staples (SEXCREMENT) on bass, and Jon Engman (BRODEQUIN, FOETOPSY, MINCE MEAT) on drums.

Matti Way has described the project's musical style as "in-your-face, straight-forward, extreme brutal death metal. Every member in this band is dedicated to take this sound to the extreme boundaries of brutal death metal. This is tentatively a CD project, but talks of a few live live shows [have already taken place]."

BELOW THE ROOT's CD will be released on the DeathMetal.us label.
