Metal Blade Records freut sich, das Signing der experimentierfreudigen Progressive-Death-Metal-Band DÅÅTH aus Atlanta, Georgia, bekannt zu geben. Die Band veröffentlicht in diesem Zuge die erste neue Musik seit über 12 Jahren!
DÅÅTH erzählen:
„After 12 years on hiatus, we agreed that if we’re bringing DÅÅTH back, we’re doing it right. That’s why we’re so excited to announce that we’ve signed to our dream label, Metal Blade! From day one, they understood and backed our vision for the future, have an inextinguishable passion for the genre, an incredible staff, and are one of the reasons Metal is on the map and thriving. We’re excited to add to the growing metal history Slagel & Co have forged with unstoppable determination. DÅÅTH signing to Metal Blade couldn’t be a better pairing – we’re taking this to its full potential, letting nothing and nobody stand in our way. If you’re not going all out, what’s the point?“
Die Band begann ihre Reise im Jahr 1999 und war etwas mehr als ein Jahrzehnt lang aktiv, bevor sie 2011 eine Pause einlegte. In dieser Zeit veröffentlichten Dååth vier Studioalben (Futility – self-released 2004, The Hinderers – Roadrunner Records 2007, The Concealers – Century Media 2009, Dååth – Century Media 2010) und tourten weltweit mit Bands wie Dark Funeral, Naglfar, Zyklon, Dragonforce, Goatwhore, Chimaira, Throwdown, Dying Fetus und Devildriver und hinterließen einen bleibenden Eindruck in der Metal-Gemeinde und ihren vielen Subgenres. Dååth erhielten auch einen begehrten Platz auf dem Ozzfest, wo sie vor Zehntausenden von Fans in Freiluft-Amphitheatern in den USA spielten, zusätzlich zu der berüchtigten und lang andauernden Metal-Tour Summer Slaughter.
In ihrer Zeit haben es Dååth geschafft, sich mit ihrer einzigartigen Art von experimentellem Death Metal weltweit eine große Fangemeinde zu erspielen, so dass es nicht verwunderlich ist, dass die Metal-Gemeinde Feuer und Flamme war, als Gerüchte über die Rückkehr der Band im Internet auftauchten. Die Metal-Gemeinde fieberte weiter mit, als die Mitglieder anfingen, neues Material anzukündigen. Die Metalwelt machte deutlich, dass sie bereit für die Rückkehr einer der stärksten Progressive Death Metal-Bands der ersten Hälfte der 00er Jahre war.
„‚No Rest No End‘ is the reason DÅÅTH is back.“ comments guitarist „When the writing began, I was looking for proof that we still had it. The last thing I want to do is put out music that sounds like a bad cover of our back catalog. When this song came together, it was clear that we needed to see this through. ‚No Rest No End‘ is the pinnacle of everything I’ve wanted to do with this band and features our full lineup firing on all cylinders: crushing riffs, orchestrated to the max, an infectious chorus, insane solos, my favorite metal drummer, baroque insanity, signature clean guitars, and an incredible mix. It’s the most ambitious song we’ve ever written or recorded and we’re just getting started. Enjoy!“
Vocalist Sean Z adds, „The first time I heard ‚No Rest No End‘ in demo form, I was blown away! I immediately knew exactly what I wanted to do vocally. The words practically flew off the page. During every step of the creation process, the song was an obvious masterpiece. It’s meant to be heard, and it’s meant to be played loud!“
Jesse Zuretti who handles orchestration, synth, and guitar says that „‚No Rest No End‘ is what happens when everyone involved pushes themselves to their extremes. In metal, we often pride ourselves on how difficult something is to master – and this song is the pinnacle to that thought. We all showed up at our very best to make ‚No Rest No End‘ our masterpiece. From the orchestration standpoint, we took this to cinematic & baroque levels in one song. The guitars were also deeply challenging and equally fulfilling to track. Not to mention the Michelin rated guest solos.“ While the band’s new drummer Krimh calls it „a furious ride with the perfect title, ‚No Rest No End.‘ At least that’s how I feel while playing this song. From a drumming perspective – you better get your running shoes on because this track makes you work hard! It has fast double bass, blast beats and a ton of groovy parts. It is definitely one of our strongest songs and with its many layers you will find new things each time you listen to it.“
