Swedish Death Metallers ERUPTED will be releasing their debut full-length "In The Grip Of Chaos" via Abyss Records later this year. The track ‘That Which Is Denied Gains Power’ is currently streaming at this location. The band commented: "During the last months of 2011 until April of 2012 we have been doing recordings for our upcoming album. We haven’t had a lot of time to play live, socialize or even drink beer. But now, more than half a year after it was started, our album is on the finishing stretch, and we can proudly present one of the tracks. This album is going to consist of both new and old tracks, some of which our longtime listeners might remember from live shows or earlier recordings.We are currently looking for shows for our summer, and hopefully we will be out showcasing our new material a lot, so keep an eye out for live videos and recordings to get sneak previews of more songs! The whole studio experience has been special because both bass and drums was recorded on an analog tape recorder, which meant a lot of retakes, but we hope that some of the ”live” feeling got recorded on there as well. Besides that the recording experience has been good. All the mixing and mastering was done at Kloster Productions by Robin ”Rojne” Svensson, the same guy that mixed "Faces Of Death.” Here’s the album’s complete tracklist: ‘Salvation From Below’, ‘In The Grip Of Chaos’, ‘Dark Mistress’, ‘Path Of Perdition’, ‘Death Of A Depraved Mind’, ‘Blazing Fall Of Heaven’, ‘That Which Is Denied Gains Power’, ‘Born Of Hate’, ‘Hell Recreated’ and ‘Faces Of Death’ (the latter two have been taken from the "Faces Of Death" demo). The band has posted a teaser video for "In the Grip Of Chaos" at this location. More info at www.facebook.com/eruptedofficial
