American death metal cult EMBALMER returns with second album, “Emanations From the Crypt,” set for international release on April 1st via Hells Headbangers.
The long-running band’s first album for Hells Headbangers, “Emanations From the Crypt” is both a new start for Embalmer and a return to its classic, core values. In 1995, the band released an EP titled “There Was Blood Everywhere” (of which Hells Headbangers reissued in 2014) on then-death metal powerhouse Relapse Records, forever etching Embalmer’s name into the death metal scene.
Lineup shuffles ensued in the following years, culminating in the band’s debut album, 2006’s “13 Faces of Death,” which is widely regarded (even by the band) as a misstep. Now armed with a vital ‘n’ vile lineup, Embalmer returns to the dark ‘n’ disgusting roots of the past with “Emanations From the Crypt.” Across a dozen quick-hitting yet complete tracks, you will find all the trademark Embalmer elemen
Says vocalist Paul Gorefiend, “This record is long-overdue, and we acknowledge that. The band never was truly happy with the ’13 Faces of Death’ album, so we worked hard to really make sure this release was a return-to-form of sorts, and true representation of what we feel Embalmer is, and always has been. We went back to the basics and drew influence from the original ‘Into the Oven’ and ‘There was Blood Everywhere’ eras musically, peppered in some extra Terrorizer/Autopsy influences, added some crazed Deranged Rated-X-style riffing over the top, and backed it all against the blasting, non-triggered drum assault Roy has become known for.
“Matter of fact, Roy still plays the same drum-set he bought in 1988, and used for all previous recordings. Vocally, all the elements older fans expect from an Embalmer release are present, from forceful lows, the trademark eeeeeees, and tortured shrieks and highs. I am speaking as a 20-plus-year fan myself, and not a member when I tell you this is the most aggressive, blistering and punishing Embalmer release to date. Yes, the wait was long but definitely worth it, and we honestly can’t wait to get this music out to the fans and hear their feedback!”
