Much like the emergence of death metal in the 80's - combining the best elements of thrash, hardcore, black metal, and punk - this crushing split release brings together four of the brightest players of extreme metal in one setting. Gatecreeper (Relapse Records), Homewrecker (Good Fight Music), Outer Heaven, and Scorched (Unspeakable Axe Records) each take their own approach to death metal with varying influences from outside the genre. The four-way split 12" LP prominently displays iconic art of Stephen Bower that harkens back to classic thrash and death metal artwork of the 80's and 90's (Suffocation, Death, Megadeath) and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audio Siege (Integrity, Sleep, Iron Reagan). The 12" LP (originally released on Melotov Records, who are no longer functioning) will now be available on three color-way variants: Cyan Blue Marble (150), Opaque Violet (150), Black (200) and is set for a worldwide 12" LP / digital release.
