Tampa's RESURRECTION Reform, Begin Work On New Material

May 9, 2006

Tampa-based "classic" death metal act RESURRECTION, who were previously signed to Nuclear Blast Records, have reformed and are currently working on new material. Founding members John Astl (guitar) and Paul DeGolyer (vocals) return to their respective roles, joined by former EPITAPH and current ADRIFT drummer Kevin Astl, who had also spent time with RESURRECTION after the release of the band's 1993 debut record, "Embalmed Existence".

Comments John Astl: "The focus right now is on writing a new album's worth of material, and then playing some festivals. We are thinking about remixing and re-mastering the 'Embalmed' record with some unreleased stuff and live tracks as well, since I keep getting bombarded with emails about re-releasing that record."

RESURRECTION, who are currently unsigned, plan on recording new demo to shop to various labels. Drummer Kevin Astl says, "We currently have five songs written and pretty damn tight. The songwriting for us is key. In the past, RESURRECTION never had the stability in drummers in order to really commit to a certain sound or vibe. Now we are spending time creating the best songs we can. There is a real technical aspect to these songs, but also a very progressive structure that is going to surprise some people, but overall the material is heavy as hell, groovy, and very cutting edge." Adds John Astl: "The lyrical topics this time around are much more mature, and tell a lot of situational stories that listeners will be able to draw their own conclusions from."

RESURRECTION are actively looking for bass players in the Tampa area. Please email either [email protected] or [email protected] for more details.
