DENIAL FIEND Announces New Members, Begins Work On EP

January 19, 2009

DENIAL FIEND bassist Terry Butler (SIX FEET UNDER, ex-MASSACRE, ex-DEATH) and guitarist Sam Williams (DOWN BY LAW, PSEUDO HEROES) have announced the addition of drummer Rob Rampy (D.R.I.) and vocalist Blaine Cook (THE ACCUSED, TOE TAG) to the group's ranks.

Williams commented: "We're really happy to be working with Rob, as we're huge fans of his work with D.R.I. The guy is old-school, fast and tight. And although Blaine won't be a permanent member of the band, we're extremely pleased to have him with us on [the upcoming DENIAL FIEND] EP. Of course THE ACCUSED has always been a major influence on DENIAL FIEND. Both of these guys fit our current direction perfectly — a little faster, a little more technical, and more thrashy all the way around."

The as-yet-untitled EP will be released later in the year via Ibex Moon Records.

Vocalist Kam Lee (MASSACRE, DEATH, MANTAS) and drummer Curtis Beeson (LOWBROW, FESTER, NASTY SAVAGE) recently left DENIAL FIEND due to "band politics."

DENIAL FIEND released its debut album, "They Rise", in October 2007 via Ibex Moon Records. The CD, which was recorded at GL Studios in Brandon, Florida, retails with a bonus DVD called "Undead Vision", which is a short documentary/interview disc covering the history of the band members and the Tampa death metal scene, as well as offering more information on the origins of DENIAL FIEND.

DENIAL FIEND's "Dead Awakening" 7" EP was released in May 2007 through Ibex Moon Records. The EP consists of two alternate versions of the tracks "They Rise" and "Cover Me in Blood", which appear on the band's full-length. The pressing is limited to a mere 500 copies.
