I just discovered them thanks to this episode of Rob Flynn's podcast where he talks to Andy Sneap, who I didn't realize was the guitarist in Sabbat (UK):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XgINy39gMU

He also has some stories about getting coked out of his mind with Eric Peterson from Testament and Nick Barker from everything.

Yeah, having a bad reputation as a producer is how I knew Andy Sneap before this.

That's exactly what I thought, and Andy/Robb event comment that their demo cassettes were printed in full color which no other band was doing at the time. And then I went to their Metal Archives page and saw Highland Park and thought that makes sense.

Speaking of other rich kid metal, it was weird finding out Judas Iscariot is from Northbrook.

A lot of bands from [insert city] are really from [insert rich suburb] because wealthy white kids are the ones who have the most time and money to get proficient at an instrument, have a reliable practice space, etc.

I don’t hold it against the rich kids making cool music but it’s interesting to know about. Also when bands are poor as poo poo, I’m happy to hear about that rather than just be like it’s all about the music, maaan

Andy is a one of a kind guitarist. ATG had him play the solo on Cold off SOTS and the story goes he showed up, heard what they had so far and improv'd a solo. They thought it was amazing, then he turned around and harmonized it in one take, heard the finished product, shook their hands and left.

Asphyx announce new studio album “Necroceros”!

The legendary Dutch Death Doom Elite ASPHYX finally return with their new, 10th full studio album release. Entitled “Necroceros”, the new longplayer was recorded at Tom Meier’s Tom Meier Studio and at Paul Baayens’ The Mörserstudio and then finally mixed and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann at Greenman Studios. “Necroceros”, which once again features front cover artwork by Axel Hermann (to be seen above!), will be available worldwide on January 22nd, 2021 via Century Media Records.

ASPHYX frontman Martin van Drunen comments about “Necroceros” as follows:

“The first recordings for “Necroceros” started somewhere in November 2019. Mainly just rough ideas. We hired Tom’s studio for a couple of jam-sessions so we could record as soon as we thought something had potential. We finished about 6/7 songs, but after a few listenings we decided there had still quite some work to be done.

After the 3 previous albums and this one being ASPHYX’s 10th official full studio record we were very well aware that the standard had to be incredibly high. Our advantage was that for the first time we had a steady line-up. Since “Incoming Death” we were damned good “worked in” together, one “felt” what the other wanted or where he was music-wise going. With Paul having tons of riffs on the shelves, the earlier takes and the unexpected rapidly spreading Covid-19 outbreak and thus all our gigs being canceled one after the other, we booked Tom once more for a bunch of jam-recordings. Which turned out marvelously...

It took 2 weekends to finally arrange all songs and tape the drum-tracks. Going completely berserk while playing and being totally satisfied with the variety, rawness, brutality and dynamics of each particular track, we were 100% certain that we were heading in the right direction.
Long before all the above was happening, I already had introduced “Necroceros” as a working title. It came out spontaneously, sounded powerful and since we used the word “Death” in every release-title, so did “Necro”. The idea was a sci-fi fantasy entity on an eternal course, existing only to devour planets, turning universes into meaningless voids. And while the boys were laying guitars and bass over the drums I searched and wrote the themes and lyrics for every single track. And there we were…

To mix with Seeb was a shot in the dark, but he had told me one of his wishes was to ever be able to mix a Death Metal album for a band like ASPHYX. And since we wanted a fresh input, we gave him a chance by letting Seeb do a test and it fused simply excellent.
As always, we passed the working title on to Axel Hermann to skizz about and let him throw his morbid imagination over it with detailed bits and pieces. And once more he didn’t let us down with another brilliant masterpiece.
And here we are. Something old, something new, something krushing, something sparkling, something alcoholic, something genius, but all very, very ASPHYX!”

A first single and video clip for the upcoming album will be launched together with more details about “Necroceros” at the start of the album’s pre-order campaign on November 6th. 2020. Look out…

I'd never heard of Dirk Verbeuren up until recently but he's put out a bunch of stuff recently between this, Bent Sea, & Brave The Cold. It's making me tepidly excited for the new Megadeth album.

I know, I also thought the same thing when the Drovers joined Megadeth and then they put out United Abominations. Megadeth is the Sonic cycle of metal bands.
