XERATH: New Song Posted Online
March 6, 2009U.K.-based experimental/progressive extreme metallers XERATH have posted a new song, "Reform Pt. 1", on their MySpace page. The track comes off the band's debut album, "Xerath I", which is scheduled for release this spring via Candlelight Records. The CD was mixed in France by Brett Caldas-Lima (CYNIC).
According to a press release, XERATH is "a new, cutting-edge band combining crushing MESHUGGAH-style riffs with epic orchestral composition. Their sound can be described as taking influence from STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, MESHUGGAH and DIMMU BORGIR to create a distinctive sound they call 'orchestral groove metal' (or chug-score!)."
The band was formed in 2007 by guitarist Andy Phillips, drummer Michael Pitman and bassist Owain Williams, and was later joined by Richard Thomson on vocals.
Originally started as an experiment to combine film-score scounds with syncopated guitar rhythms, XERATH evolved into a full-fledged gigging band with a clear direction.
