TORCHBEARER

the Swedish death/thrash metal band featuring members of UNMOORED, INCAPACITY, SOLAR DAWN, SETHERIAL and SATARIEL, have completed work on their debut album, “Yersinia Pestis”, due on March 22.

The first album to be released under the recently announced partnership between Cold Records from Sweden and Metal Blade Records, “Yersinia Pestis” is being described in an official press release as “the mean bastard son of DARK FUNERAL, DEICIDE and HYPOCRISY, the perfect link between death and black metal with hints of thrash every now and then.”

The CD was recorded at Black Lounge Studios in Sweden with producer Jonas Kjellgren (CARNAL FORGE, CENTINEX). The artwork was handled by Pär Johansson.
