NEOANDERTALS To Release Debut Album In April

February 22, 2007

Estonian ultra-brutal death metallers NEOANDERTALS will release their debut album, "Neanderthals Were Master Butchers", in April via Forensick Music.

According to a press release "Neanderthals Were Master Butchers" is "a concept album concentrating on the darker side of the longdead Neanderthals. Real facts mixed with bizarre fiction create stories about Neanderthal defleshing burial rites, their butchering habits, decapitation of the last Neanderthals in Neander Valley and about the return of that ancient menace in the form of neo-Neanderthal zombies. NEOANDERTALS use no guitars, instead 'utilising dual bass guitars with moist, borborygmic gutturals, appropriately barbaric riffs and tendon tearing blastbeats,' to quote Baz from Diabolical Conquest 'zine."

"Neanderthals Were Master Butchers" was recorded on July 3, 2006 at Matrix Studios in Tallinn, Estonia. The band put the finishing touches on the CD in August 2006, 150 years after the first Neanderthal fossil finds in Neander Valley in August 1856. Mixing and mastering was handled by NEOANDERTALS mainman Rain Pohlak. It was the first and last NEOANDERTALS album for drummer Roland Seer, who has now been replaced by female drummer Sandra Vungi.

"Neanderthals Were Master Butchers" track listing:

01. Neanderthals Were Master Butchers
02. Defleshing the Cadaver Before Burial
03. Sliced By Man
04. The Mysterious Demise
