EPISODE 13: New Album Details Revealed

December 22, 2009

EPISODE 13, one of the longest-running and best-known black metal bands in Turkey, has entered Midasin Kulakligi Studios in Ankara to begin recording its third full-length album, "Death Reclaims The Earth", for an early 2010 release. The follow-up to 2009's "Pitch Black" will be mastered at Sweden's Necromorbus Studio, known for its work with bands like WATAIN, ONDSKAPT, FUNERAL MIST, etc.

"Death Reclaims The Earth" track listing:

01. Ars Moriendi
02. Physical Comatose & Mental Overdose
03. Unmensch
04. Ignorance Is Bliss
05. Ultimate Sterilization
06. Worthless
07. Spread His Word

"Death Reclaims The Earth" sees the return of vocalist Ozan Akyol, who, together with guitarist Murat and drummer Nursuz (ZIFIR),founded EPISODE 13 in 2001 (the band's current lineup includes Sermet Durusan on bass and Serkan Zengin on guitar). The frontman took a temporary break from the band to complete his studies during the recording of "Pitch Black", but although absent on vocals, his input on the sophomore album was still considerable.

Three tracks from "Death Reclaims The Earth" were debuted at Norway's Inferno Festival earlier this year, and Akyol, a brooding and compelling live performer, whose vocals add a chillingly sinister touch to the new material, had this to say about the forthcoming album: "We really used 'Pitch Black' to move away from the melodic aspects of our debut, 'Tabula Rasa', because you can't express brutality and contempt with pleasant keyboard interludes, and with 'Death Reclaims The Earth' we can finally say that our sound accurately reflects our view of humanity."
