Dropping August 30, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">By now, DECEASED\u00a0need no introduction. One of the longest-running American death metal bands, since 1985,\u00a0DECEASED\u00a0have been there for it all: death metal&#8217;s genesis, its creative peak, its commercial peak and subsequent sink into trendiness, the eventual fallout and &#8220;un-trendiness,&#8221; its rebirth at the hands of a new generation, and on and on. There they have stood, simply and 100% always\u00a0DECEASED, not caring what year it is or what is hip &#8211; simply, always, DEATH METAL FROM THE GRAVE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113142\" style=\"width:611px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773.jpg 800w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773-600x323.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/unnamed-2024-06-28T121429.773-768x414.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And across their sizable-yet-succinct discography, at their heart, DECEASED have always been a great HEAVY METAL band. They proved it with 1997&#8217;s landmark&nbsp;<em>Fearless Undead Machines&nbsp;<\/em>and continued to prove it with every album thereafter, with 2018&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>Ghostly White<\/em>&nbsp;showing that even this MANY years on, their pistons are pumping harder and more creatively than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">During those past three decades, DECEASED have not been without ambition. Even when stretching the limits of complexity like on 1995&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>The Blueprints for Madness<\/em>, true-to-death&nbsp;<em>storytelling&nbsp;<\/em>has always been at the fore of their work, vividly illustrated by the characteristic throat of founder \/ former drummer King Fowley. And although&nbsp;<em>Fearless Undead Machines<\/em>&nbsp;was perhaps the apex of that storytelling, never before have DECEASED attempted such an emotional, topically rooted-in-death album&#8230;until now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Enter&nbsp;<em>Children of the Morgue<\/em>, DECEASED&#8217;s darkest record to date. The album&#8217;s concept is on dying and all that it entails, and suitably do the band integrate nearly every element of their past and present arsenal into its 55-minute runtime. &#8220;There will be fast parts, slow parts, melodic parts, noisy parts, and everything in between,&#8221; Fowley claimed pre-release, and he&#8217;s not wrong! But how DECEASED manage to thread everything together so seamlessly speaks to the strength of their songwriting &#8211; always recognizable, but never resting on past laurels. Here on&nbsp;<em>Children of the Morgue<\/em>, moody-yet-melodic riffing and lead-work take center stage as Fowley narrates this epic-length tale of life and death. The album&#8217;s exceptional pacing and engaging, always-going-forward song constructions heighten the sensation that the record is a lot shorter than it actually is; however, if one was to do some quick math, he&#8217;d surmise at least half these tracks are indeed EPIC &#8211; at or above the eight-minute mark. Nevertheless, the sum effect is mesmerizing and even majestic, unremittingly DARK as the subject matter may be. The final icing on the cake (or slamming of the morgue&#8217;s doors?) is the warm &amp; rustic recording courtesy of Oblivion Studios, where the aforementioned&nbsp;<em>Fearless Undead Machines<\/em>&nbsp;and co-classic&nbsp;<em>Supernatural Addiction<\/em>&nbsp;were rendered onto tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Nearly 40 years since their formation, DECEASED show no signs of stopping &#8211; and, in fact, are arguably more potent than ever. You can now add&nbsp;<em>Children of the Morgue<\/em>&nbsp;to their list of undeniable classics&#8230;but this is not the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Preorder info can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shop-hellsheadbangers.com\/item.asp?PID=122661\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/><strong><br \/><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>MORE INFO:<\/strong><strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellsheadbangers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hellsheadbangers.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hellsheadbangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.facebook.com\/hellsheadbangers<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hellsheadbangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.instagram.com\/hellsheadbangers<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/hellshead666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.twitter.com\/hellshead666<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/hellsheadbangers666%C2%A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.youtube.com\/user\/hellsheadbangers666<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present DECEASED&#8217;s highly anticipated eighth album,\u00a0Children of the Morgue, on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":113141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113139"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113144,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113139\/revisions\/113144"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/113141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
