American blackened Death Metallers PESSIMIST have just entered the Black Attack Studios in Los Angeles, California to start recording their fourth full-length “Keys To The Underworld” with engineer Ira Black. In addition, the band has welcomed drummer Tim Yeung (I AM MORBID, DIVINE HERESY, HATE ETERNAL) to the recording line-up. “Keys To The Underworld” will be released via Season Of Mist at a later date. Founding member / guitarist Kelly McLauchlin comments: “We are extremely excited to be working with a top-notch drummer as Tim Yeung – you will know him from bands such as MORBID ANGEL and HATE ETERNAL, and we also play together in I AM MORBID. We are confident Tim will bring his superior drumming skills to the new PESSIMIST record, and we are taking our songs to the next level. This album will be worth waiting for!” The first three PESSIMIST albums, “Cult Of The Initiated” (1997), “Blood For The Gods” (1999) and “Slaughtering The Faithful” (2002), will be re-released on vinyl for the first time ever from May to July via Season Of Mist as well. All will contain bonus tracks and other extras, such as new layouts and rare, archival band photos. For regular updates follow PESSIMIST at www.facebook.com/pessimist.deathmetal
