THE WRETCHED END Continuing Work On Debut Album
February 5, 2010THE WRETCHED END, the new Norway-based band featuring guitarist Samoth (EMPEROR, ZYKLON) and bassist Cosmo (MINDGRINDER) alongside Swedish drummer Nils Fjellström (DARK FUNERAL, IN BATTLE, AEON),recently entered the studio to begin recording its as-yet-untitled debut album for a 2010 release. The group states, "Cosmo finished the bass tracks last week. Now we're finishing up lyrics and working on vocal arrangements. Cosmo will be handling the vocals.
"The pre-production arrangements sounds very good.
"We'll be back at Stand Studio [in Oslo, Norway] soon to finalize the recordings."
Songtitles set to appear on the THE WRETCHED END CD include:
* Zoo Human Syndrome
* Red Forest Alienation
* Residing in Limbo
* The Human Corporation
* Numbered Days
* Of Men and Wolves
* The Juggernaut Theory
* Last Judgement
According to a press release, THE WRETCHED END's music "can best be described as 'deathrash,' taking elements from both death metal and thrash metal. Many of the songs are quite groove-orientated, and also offer a melodic side. Influences range from the flavors of old-school as well as a more modern death/thrash metal sound."
THE WRETCHED END was formed in 2008 as creative collaboration between Samoth and Cosmo, who previously worked together on the infamous death-punk project SCUM. Cosmo also played with ZYKLON as a bass player when ZYKLON toured Europe as special guest for MORBID ANGEL in 2001. The two have long spoken about collaborating on an extreme metal project. Throughout 2008 most of the material for the debut album was composed and by spring 2009 a full pre-production demo consisting of 11 tracks was recorded.
The drums for THE WRETCHED END album were recorded this past September at the Strand Studio in Oslo, Norway.
