“A Bloody Oath”, a brand new song from French death metal veterans LOUDBLAST, can be streamed below. The track is taken from the band’s new album, Burial Ground, which will be released in Europe on April 28 and the U.S. on June 10 via Listenable.
Three years ago, the Frozen Moments Between Life And Death CD proved to be LOUDBLAST’s boldest move, recharged by the arrival of youngsters Alex Lenormand (bass, ex-LOCUS, CODE, SIC) and Drakhian (lead guitar, GRIFFAR, ex-TAAKE, BLACK DEMENTIA), guitaarits/vocalist Stéphane Buriez and his longtime drummer Hervé Coquerel threw all the rules out of the window without turning their backs on their roots.
The result of eighteen months of hard work, “Burial Ground” goes even further. A solid mix of classic old school reminiscent of early DEATH and CELTIC FROST and modern influences with a massive production and dark feel, it also dares transgressing their traditional thrash/death style of yore to achieve a much more malign yet as catchy sound.
The Burial Ground cover art was created by Will Kuberski of Worthless Endeavors, who also painted the INCANTATION Vanquish In Vengeance cover.
