Reformed ROTTREVORE Signs With XTREEM MUSIC

March 10, 2011

Xtreem Music has announced the signing of recently reformed U.S. death metal masters ROTTREVORE.

Over the past 16 years, a lot has happened with Chris Weber (vocals, guitar),Chris Free (bass) and Christian Easley (drums).

ROTTREVORE was on a hiatus for almost 15 years (December 1995 - December 2010). The band's unreleased tracks, of which there are 10, were preserved by Weber and four of them will now be re-recorded. According to a press release, "They have the old-school chainsaw guitar rhythms, which they are known for, but also a more technical and of course heavy approach to ensure that they keep the heart of ROTTREVORE alive."

Over the years Chris Weber had pursued instrumental solo projects, Chris Free had played bass for a few bands (very technical ones, to say the least),and Christian Easley had started his own band in 1999, PULSEPHERION, which lasted until 2005.

ROTTREVORE has now reformed and has been pushing itself to the limit to still bring you the some of the heaviest music ever made. Through musical progression and the likeness to chainsaw guitars, distorted bass, guttural vocals and thunderous drums, they are now working on releasing their first four-song mini-CD since 1993, entitled "Blind Sided Attack". The recording — featuring the songs "Hung by the Eye Sockets", "Defy Majority", "Overcome With Hate" and the title track "Blind Sided Attack" — will be handled later this month by Erik Rutan at his Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. A late summer/early fall release is expected.

The reunited ROTTREVORE will make its live debut on July 16 at the "A Day Of Death" festival on Saturday, July 16 at Club Infinity in Williamsville, New York.
