Gruesome recently talked about releasing a new album called Twisted Prayers, and now we've got everything you need to know! The album was recorded at New Constellation Studios in Orlando, Florida with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Exhumed, 1349, Goatwhore, Wolvhammer), was given killer artwork from Ed Repka (Death, Atheist, Massacre, etc.), and features two guitar solos from James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Testament).
You can check out the band's new song "A Waste Of Life" below, which vocalist and guitarist Matt Harvey says is a great way to channel pissed-off emotions and Death's Chuck Schuldiner (as always).
"'A Waste Of Life' was a great opportunity to channel [Death's] Chuck [Schuldiner] and vent some frustration in a constructive way – through making some good ol' fashioned death metal. It's great to move forward in the Death catalog and get some new ground to cover. As much fun as we had working with the raw and nasty stuff on Savage Land and Dimensions Of Horror, it's great to challenge ourselves musically and thematically just like Chuck, James, Terry [Butler], and Bill [Andrews] did on Spiritual Healing. Hopefully we do those guys justice and everyone has as much fun listening to the track as we did creating it"
Gruesome remains guitarist and vocalist Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Expulsion), guitarist Daniel Gonzalez (Possessed), bassist Robin Marzen (Castrator, Derkéta), and drummer Gus Rios (Evil Amidst, Upon Infliction). Twisted Prayers is out June 1.
