DECREPIT BIRTH Begins Recording New Album

January 8, 2010

California tech-death masters DECREPIT BIRTH have entered Sharkbite Studios (MACHINE HEAD, EXODUS) in Oakland with producer Zack Ohren (ALL SHALL PERISH, SUFFOCATION, IMMOLATION) to begin recording their third album, "Polarity".

Commented guitarist Matt Sotelo: "We began recording the new album on Thursday.

"We are happy to say that everything is going very smoothly!

"This is an awesome recording facility and by far the best place we have worked in yet.

"We started by setting up and tracking KC's [Howard] drums.

"With the help of engineer Zack Ohren, we are confident that this album will have our best production to date!"

"Concepts for new material are very special to us on a personal level. The lyrics reflect on the world around us, visions of the future, the coming together of energy, and the balance of life both positive and negative. We also feel that the music and concepts are very tied together, so that the music actually embodies the emotions of the lyrical concepts. It's something we've always tried to do but this time it really feels right. We describe it as 'death metal from the soul.'"

According to a press release, "Polarity" will contain "nine songs of epic death metal," including "Life Cycles", "Sea of Memories", "Symbiosis", "Beyond Eternity" and "Mirroring Dimensions".

DECREPIT BIRTH, founded in 2001, has so far released two highly acclaimed albums, "…And Time Begins" (2003) and "Diminishing Between Worlds" (2008).

"Diminishing Between Worlds" was released in January 2008 via Unique Leader Records. The CD was recorded at Castle Ultimate studios with engineer/producer Zack Ohren.
