Old-school death metal band\u00a0THE LURKING FEAR<\/strong>, featuring members of\u00a0At The Gates, Disfear, God Macabre, Skitsystem, Tormented<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0The Haunted<\/strong>, return\u00a0with their anxiously awaited sophomore album,\u00a0Death, Madness, Horror, Decay<\/em><\/strong>. The album is set for release worldwide on\u00a0November 19<\/strong>th<\/sup>\u00a0via Century Media Records and\u00a0is available for pre-order starting today,\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE LURKING FEAR vocalist\u00a0<\/a>Tomas Lindberg Redant<\/strong>\u00a0states,\u00a0\u201cWith our second album we really wanted to produce a more coherent listening experience. The first one was a blast to put together, and I do love that it is dynamic, but we talked a lot about it and this time around we wanted the record to have more of a unified sound, so to say\u2026We wanted it to sound like a band with their own identity. Therefor the writing sessions were more of a unified effort this time around, and all the writers in the band are part of more songs. The album is still dynamic, as it has both intense, faster \u201crippers\u201d and a few more heavy moments, but the overall sound is more convincing, to my ears.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wanted to evolve the lyrical concept further. Of course, there is still tons of Lovecraft influence throughout the album, but I also tampered with some more current horror writers and philosophers. I guess it is not a coincidence, but this album feels like the ugly stepchild of the new At The Gates album, lyrically. I delved into the ideas conveyed by thinkers like Ligotti and Thacker and added an extra layer of cosmic horror to the already Lovecraftian universe of THE LURKING FEAR. Still the same basic ideas, but just more developed, and philosophical, I guess you could say.\u00a0<\/em>
Also, this time around, we talked more with our producer, Per St\u00e5lberg, before, so he and us were on the same page about which kind of album we wanted to make. The new album is more of everything, and we feel that the band finally is reaching its full potential. Enjoy!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE LURKING FEAR have also just dropped the first single, \u201cCosmic Macabre<\/strong>\u201d, off forthcoming album today. Check out the music video for \u201cCosmic Macabre\u201d, which was produced by\u00a0Max Ljungber,\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomas Lindberg Redant adds about the track,\u00a0\u201c\u2019Cosmic Macabre\u2019 was one of the first tracks to be finalized for the new album. It is an old school Swedish death metal scorcher, but has some more quirky stuff thrown in for good measure. The lyrics deal with what lurks beyond the limits of the human comprehension. We felt it was a good first representation of the album as it contains a lot of the different elements of the record in one song. Let the primal darkness tear you apart!”Death, Madness, Horror, Decay<\/em>\u00a0is the follow up to THE LURKING FEAR\u2019s acclaimed debut album\u00a0Out Of The Voiceless Grave<\/em>\u00a0(2017) and was recorded at Welfare Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden with Per St\u00e5lberg and Kalle Lilja. The album features epic\u00a0artwork (To be seen above!) once again conceived by\u00a0Stefan Thanneur, who worked on THE LURKING FEAR\u2019s debut album, and also includes a special guest appearance by\u00a0Chris Reifert<\/strong>\u00a0(Autopsy, ex Death<\/strong>) on vocals for the track \u201cKaleidoscopic Mutations<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
