TRIVIUM's COREY BEAULIEU And MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO To Guest On DIRGE Debut

February 11, 2009

Corey Beaulieu of TRIVUM and Michael Angelo Batio of NITRO fame will make guest appearances on the debut album from DIRGE, the new extreme metal band featuring ex-SOIL guitarist Shaun Glass, THE DOOMSDAY SOCIAL drummer James Knight (ex-THE BLANK THEORY, CHACOPA),former A TEXAS FUNERAL vocalist Jeremy "Jerms" Genske, bassist Brian Paz and guitarist Matt Szlachta. The group recently entered the studio to begin recording 13 songs for a spring 2009 release via an as-yet-undisclosed label. Edsel Dope (DOPE) is producing alongside Chris Djuricic (Studio One).

Commented Shaun: "All the music is 100% done. We're knee-deep in the trenches at the Dope Factory and close to done wrapping up the vocals. Jerms has really shined on this mofo and we can't wait for all the vocal tracking to be done shortly. Some of the new songs that will for sure be on this slab of metal are 'Force Fed Lies', 'Spit', 'As I Walk' and 'New Disease'. One thing I can say... this is one well-rounded album; from shreddin' solos and flying double bass to machine-gun riffage, this album really has it all and is hands down the best album I have ever made; no bullshittin' here, people. We are also taking part with for our bros LAZARUS A.D. CD-release show (Metal Blade) on February 28 in Kenosha, Wisconsin."

New video footage from the recording studio can be viewed below.

DIRGE recently posted a new song entitled "Confession" on the group's MySpace page.

DIRGE has played shows alongside such acts as GOD FORBID, NILE, DEATH ANGEL and PRONG. DIRGE also took part in the June 2008 Jägermeister Music Tour dates with HATEBREED, TYPE O NEGATIVE, and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD as well as the July 2008 Jägermeister Music Tour dates with DOPE and KITTIE.
