DARK DESCENT RECORDS issues limited edition cassettes

Quickly establishing itself as a first rate deliverer of quality death metal, Colorado Springs' Dark Descent Records is pleased to announce three new limited-run cassettes from HORRENDOUS, THE WAKEDEAD GATHERING, and DECAPITATION for release on June 22nd. Speaking as devout fans of true death, all three releases are – in varying forms – outstanding examples of crunchy, murky, morbid, and goddamn memorable death metal. All three are expected to quickly sell out. Information on each release follows.

HORRENDOUS – Sweet Blasphemies demo tape. Five songs of old school Swedish-influenced death metal from these American up-and-comers. Horrendous pulls no punches here and delivers one hell of a debut! www.myspace.com/horrendousdeathmetal (Limited to 200 copies).

THE WAKEDEAD GATHERING – Tenements of Ephemera cassette. Well received full-length released on CD by the band in limited numbers. This cassette demands your full attention. Dark and twisted death metal with nods to early INCANTATION and IMMOLATION, Tenements of Ephemera will be a co-release between Dark Descent Records and Skeleton Plague Records (Limited to 200 copies). www.myspace.com/thewakedeadgathering

DECAPITATION (Swe) – Undead Carnage demo tape. Decapitation is ready to unveil its gore-soaked, smoke billowing brand of death metal upon the world. Doom-peppered, grooving, and with a sound recalling the best of the early Swedish masters, as well as acts like Autopsy, you'll be shocked to learn that the band is a relative newcomer to the scene. Perhaps most importantly, this one's got personality! Co-release with Skeleton Plague Records (limited to 200 copies). www.myspace.com/decapitationswe
