Percussor Releasing Proclamation of Hate on April 21st


percussor proclamation of hate

Philadelphia old school death metallers Percussor will be releasing Proclamation Of Hate on April 21, 2015 via Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. Stream “Ripped Apart As I See Fit” below.

Formed back in 1996 out of the ashes of the Afterbirth, the band only had a brief two year run before reforming in 2014. This is old school, pure late 80’s / early 90’s Death Metal that deals with anger, death, suicide, misery, pain and torment! Percussor is the Latin word for murderer and perfectly fits the musical and lyrical content on “Proclamation Of Hate”. The current line-up features the power trio of Jack Carmichael (Afterbirth, Lesch-Nyhan) on Guitars/Vocals, Chris Miller (Afterbirth, Crucifier, Lesch-Nyhan) on Bass and Mark Stainthorpe (Shadows In The Crypt, Lesch-Nyhan) on Drums.

TRACK LISTING:
01: Extermination Of The Weak
02: Defiled Reputation
03: Caved In Skull
04: Blood Behind The Eyes
05: Ripped Apart As I See Fit
06: Slashing Through Dry Veins
07: Images Through Forgotten Torture
08: Useless Creation That Stands Before Me
09: Diseased Breeder
10: Outro

Youth League Releasing First On April 21st, Stream “Youth/Old”


youth league

Wilmington, NC post pop trio Youth League has signed with Cardigan Records and will be releasing their debut EP titled First on April 21, 2015. The band was started by brothers Mike and Zach Large on guitar/vocals and drums respectively, from the ashes of math aggressors Virgin Lung. They later recruited bassist Jaffar Omar Obi Castillon-Martinez. Clocking in at just 16 minutes, it’s hard to tell if these six jams are punk ragers with a deceptive technical streak running throughout or thunderous prog/math compositions that never descend into repetitive self-parody.

Stream “Young/Old” below.

Upcoming Tour with Iselia, Bear Girl, and ipretend surprise!
Apr 22: Limelight (Tipsy Teapot) – Greenville, NC
Apr 23: Deep South The Bar – Raleigh, NC
Apr 24: Reggie’s 42nd Street Tavern – Wilmington, NC
Apr 25: Drunk Horse Pub – Fayetteville, NC
Apr 26: Retro Café – Virginia Beach, VA
