Beneath a skull-faced moon on a night when old and young alike shake and sweat beneath their sheets as the reaper travels through their dreams, when the mausoleum gates fall broken to the ground and the ways to Tartarus stand open…then the dead arise to hunt.
From beneath the flames and through the graveyard dirt their mouldering corpses rise, tattered sinew and fragmenting bones infused with strength and spirit for one night of vengeful freedom. One night of spite and violence, one night of lust and hunger; one night to tear down the living and drag them into realms below!
Four years on from their Regurgitated Into Existence debut, Finnish death metal fiends Deathgoat have returned for your bodies and your souls! Dragged Into Realms Below is their new nine track album of funeral rites and undead rebirth, absolute death metal in every twitching limb and empty eye socket. Beginning with the haunting notes of intro ‘Alkulima’, part lament, part invocation and all evil, Dragged Into Realms Below is a rampaging beast spawned from the rotten womb of early Scandinavian death. Savage tracks like ‘Congregation Of Disease’ are rife with riffs infused with horror and arcane ritual, devilish and dark. From the absolute inferno of ‘Dying To Be Dead’ to the malignant majesty of the album’s concluding, title track, via the glorious atmospheric lead work of ‘Compulsive Cannibalism’, Dragged Into Realms Below is everything a death metal album should be. Complete with a feral, snarling guitar tone, drums like hammers on coffin lids and a voice that speaks from the abyssal pits of the underworld, no death metal addict will be able to resist the lure of this gut wrenching poison.
Adorned in the masterful artwork of Bram Bruyneel (Officium Triste, Hideous Divinity etc) Dragged Into Realms Below will be unleashed upon the world on June 10th by Xtreem Music, who are fast becoming a byword for brilliance when it comes to supreme old school death metal! When this out of control hearse comes careering out of the night this summer, be prepared for total annihilation!
