GRUESOME: No Clean Singing Debuts Opening Track From Impending Relapse-Bound Album By Death Metal Division
Members Of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation And Derketa Unite
While Relapse Records puts the final grisly details in place for the release of Savage Land, the debut album from Death-inspired metal collective, GRUESOME
-- uniting members of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation, Derketa
and more -- No Clean Singing has unleashed the opening title track to
the disc.
Channeling inspiration from one of death metal's iconic, founding American acts, Death, into their own mangled interpretation, GRUESOME's Savage Land,
a truly horrid slab of late-'80s/early-'90s Florida-styled death metal
created in homage to the late Chuck Schuldiner's early masterworks, is
humbly determined to keep the band's sound alive as authentically as
possible. Opening the floodgates to the punishing first release from the
outfit is the album's title track, which now sees early release via No
Clean Singing, who issues of the repulsive reverence,"GRUESOME's talents
are so impressive that they have pulled off a feat that would be beyond
the capabilities of most musicians: They've written new songs that
really do faithfully invoke the sound and spirit of Death's early albums - and they're so damned good that you'd fall for them even if you didn't know Death had
ever existed. 'Savage Land' sounds like it crawled from the grave, a
resurrected zombie of late '80s/early '90s Floridian death metal. It
romps, it lurches, it crawls. The riffs slash and burn, they thrash and
hammer, they slither and writhe, they generate an authentic stench of
morbid atmosphere. The savagery of the vocals matches the intensity of
the music, and the song includes guitar soloing that's to die for."
Notesdrummer
Gus Rios, "What was to become 'Savage Land' started out as a kind of
funny sounding guitar pro demo, complete with midi drums.
[guitarist/vocalist] Matt [Harvey] had already sent me his first demo
song, but this was the track that sent me into a renewed sense of
excitement for playing metal! It sounded like a lost Death demo from
'88-'89! I knew right then and there that I would see this project
through to completion. Most people have already heard the demo version,
so this album track will really showcase the upgraded production value
of the full length."

The GRUESOME
collective was borne out of guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey (Exhumed)
and drummer Gus Rios' (Malevolent Creation) mutual involvement with the
Death To All tours, as Harvey handled frontman duties for the original
nine-member mini-tour, and Rios executed "Baptized In Blood" and worked
with DTA drummer Sean Reinert on the following US tour where Exhumed
filled in as direct support. The pair stayed in touch and discussed
their mutual obsession for the early half of Death's catalog. After
deliberating and ultimately discarding the idea of putting together
another incarnation of DTA to focus exclusively on the first two albums,
Harvey half-jokingly suggested writing their own songs in that vein. It
wasn't long before the idea gained traction, and the "band" had five
songs written. Rios recruited Possessed guitarist Daniel Gonzalez and
Derketa bassist Robin Mazen and the lineup was complete. Savage Land
was recorded by Rios and Gonzalez at Riversound Studios in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida -- except Harvey's vocals, which were recorded in
California -- mixed by Jarrett Pritchard at Mana Studios in St.
Petersburg, Florida, and features a guest guitar solo on "Closed Casket"
by James Murphy as well as cover art by legendary illustrator Ed Repka
(Death, Megadeth, Massacre, Atheist etc.l).
