USURPER is back! From forming in 1985 to disbanding in 1990 the band released a couple of demo’s that became legendary in the underground and one album: “Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development”.
This album became a collectors item in the underground and last year Marquee records Brazil re-released this album after 25 years on their Metal Classics label. In August the Crypt records u.s.a will release a vinyl version, a double album in coloured vinyl with the album and all the demo’s, 2 un-released re-recordings and one brand new song.
For the re-recording USURPER frontman Patrick Harreman teamed up with Martijn Horsten on guitar, Larry Kranenburg on drums and René Simons on guitar. The re-recording sounded so good that the guys decided to write a new track. This spiraled into madness and to cut a long story short……………..the band is recording a new album as we speak.
Patrick Harreman: Lemmy said it before: “you always go back to the first love in music”. To me that was extreme thrash metal. But it is a suprise, even to me hahahaha the re-recodings went so well and was so much fun that we decided to continue. I cant wait to play the old stuff the way we do now
The band is playing some try out gigs in their hometown Vlaadingen / Rotterdam in the first week of September. after that the band will headline DOCFEST in the Netherlands and more shows will be announced.
