Skeletal Remains
About
Two years and countless gigs and tours later, Californian death metal act SKELETAL REMAINS are proud to present the successor to 2018’s much-lauded “Devouring Mortality”. On September 11th, 2020, the band will release “The Entombment Of Chaos”, their fourth and most accomplished studio album to date, on Century Media Records worldwide.
Once again, the band decided to rely on ‘Dan-power’, a perfect combination established on the previous record: “We chose to work with Dan Seagrave along with Dan Swanö once again for the artwork and mixing/mastering of the album as we were very satisfied with the work they both did on our last record.”
While sticking to their blend of classic death metal from the early 90’s, SKELETAL REMAINS turned influences from Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel etc. into a darker, more consistent opus this time around, paying more intention to the album’s flow
and adding a couple of surprises like the crushingly doomy ‘Eternal Hatred’, the melodic Metallica-esque intro to ‘Unfurling The Casket’ or the instrumental piece ‘Enshrined In Agony’. “This time around there are a few more songs on seven-string guitar than the last album, making it an overall heavier sounding record. We also wanted to incorporate more aggression and brutality to give the album that extreme edge it needed to top our last three releases. In addition to that, we brought in our good friend Charlie Koryn (Funebrarum, Ascended Dead) on drums to add his own pummeling sound into the mix giving us an end result we’re all extremely proud of.”
Being avid fans of legendary guitarist James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Testament, Disincarnate, Cancer etc.), SKELETAL REMAINS not only incorporate comparable, melodic leads in their barrage of riffs, but also teamed up with Simon Duson of Carnation as guest vocalist to craft an excellent cover version of Disincarnate’s “Stench Of Paradise Burning”, which is included as an extra track on the CD coming with the first pressing of the LP and the limited edition digipak.
SKELETAL REMAINS formed as Anthropophagy back in 2011, released two acclaimed albums through German label FDA Rekotz and honed their skills on the road, playing an impressive amount of gigs and tours early on in the band’s career. In 2018, the band took the proverbial next step, releasing their third record, “Devouring Mortality”, on Dark Descent in North America and Century Media internationally. Having toured with the likes of Obituary, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste, Power Trip, The Black Dahlia Murder, and many
more, SKELETAL REMAINS have succeeded in building up a loyal following worldwide and will now excite their supporters once again with a strong sonic statement. “We feel this is a huge step up from our previous releases and cannot wait to share it with all fans of Death Metal! We hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!”
