Brutal/Slam Death Metal

PATHOLOGY Completes Recording of New Album, Reveals Cover Art, and Confirms Tour with Nile

American brutal death metal masters, PATHOLOGY, make their return from the studio with a perfected encompassment of musical extremities entitled, Legacy of the Ancients. The upcoming Victory Records debut, slated for release on July 6th, was engineered by Jeff Forest (As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through) at Doubletime Studios in the band’s home base of San Diego, CA and was mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan (Cannibal Corpse, Malevolent Creation) at Mana Studios in Tampa, FL. “We feel the recording came out extremely heavy and exactly how we wanted,” expresses drummer Dave Astor. “The drums are explosive, the guitars are thick and very tight, and the vocals are brutally crushing.” The album cover displays an artistic zombie-theme, designed by Par Olofsson (Winds of Plague, Annotations Of An Autopsy, Immortal). “The cover shows a doctor injecting people with a virus that is turning them into zombies,” states Astor. “It is a metaphor for the government control over our people." Fans can pre-order the new album, Legacy of the Ancients, at the following link:

PATHOLOGY is currently preparing to support their upcoming release live and in the faces of their most meaningful supporters; the fans. With the addition of second guitarist Diego Sanchez (ex-Disgorge) and bass player Oscar Ramirez (To Violently Vomit) accompanying core members, vocalist Matti Way, guitarist Tim Tiszczenko and drummer Dave Astor, Pathology has solidified their line-up. Fans will get their first taste of the new album with regional dates leading up to the release, and soon to be announced National tours to follow. The first of these tours will be when they join Nile on the “Those Whom The Gods Detest Tour II” alongside Ex Deo, Psycroptic, and Keep of Kalessin. A full list of dates can be seen below. “We are excited to be touring with a legendary band like Nile. We’re huge fans and it will be killer to share the stage with them,” says Astor.

New Godless Truth promo is out. I donnou how to explain it. Sounds like they went tech death a la Anata or Augury. It's interesting and well done though.
 
I also like that Matti is back.. and the fact that they have a 2nd guitarist now is also going to add a whole new dimension to their sound. And its a Disgorge guitarist at that!
 
I know I'm a little late on this but I'd like to weigh in on whether technical death should be considered a separate sub-genre. It seems to me that things like technical, brutal, old school and slam are musical descriptors that modify the overarching genre of death metal and therefore shouldn't really be considered separate, especially considering how commonly they overlap. However, because there are fan base/scene difference between all of these (especially between brutal and old school fans) it makes more sense to see thing like tech death and brutal death as sub-genres rather than merely musical descriptors.
 
I agree that how genres fall are too over-analyzed...but there is something about technical death metal that really seems to divide people on whether it is a genre, or death metal that just so happens to be technical. Not sure why it matters though.

What is LHP?

This is relevant to my interests. Permeated don't want them anymore? Unique Leader should release it.

This should be relevant to pretty much everyone's interests, and I disagree with Unique Leader doing it; it should be Lacerated Enemy or Sevared.
