Manchester extreme metallers Ingested will be issuing The Architect of Extinction on January 12, 2015 in Europe and January 27, 2015 in North America (digital only) via Century Media Records. The album was mixed by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) and artwork done by Toshihiro Egawa.
Jason Evans (vocals) comments:
“It’s took us three albums and two EP’s to find our sound, our identity as a band. This album is INGESTED in its purest form; nihilistic, slamming death metal. Every lyric, guitar riff and drum beat on this album is delivered with utter sincerity, we fucking mean it this time. This is the album we have always wanted to create, this is ‘THE ARCHITECT OF EXTINCTION’.
Once again we enlisted the amazing art talents of Toshihiro Egawa, who we worked with on our debut album ‘Surpassing the Boundaries of Human Suffering’ to produce yet another stunning, brutal masterpiece to compliment the audio assault we’ve captured on disc. This album was mixed by Christian Donaldson (BENEATH THE MASSACRE, THE LAST FELONY and CRYPTOPSY) and features guest appearances by Julian Kersey (AEGAEON), Taylor Wientjes (THE KENNEDY VEIL), James Schuster (EIGHTY THOUSAND DEAD / DELUSIONAL PARASITOSIS) and Alex Terible (SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL) who have contributed their very own brand of brutality to this record. This is our most definitive work to date and we can’t wait to unleash it on the world.”
