Napalm Christ Sign to A389 Recordings
Their debut demo in the works since 2011, Little Rock, Arkansas, four-piece Napalm Christ released 2012 Demo just last month on tape through the UK’s Goatprayer Records (info here). Well, I guess the world was just waiting for it, since in addition to getting picked up by that label for release, the band has also signed to A389 Recordings to issue the demo — which presumably will get a retitling of some sort, or, you know, not — and their full-length debut, both of which can be expected in 2014.
More to come, but for now, here’s the PR wire with the latest:
NAPALM CHRIST: Little Rock Underlords Sign With A389 Recordings
Vinyl Issue Of Malicious 2013 Demo & Debut LP Slated
A389 Recordings proclaims their new liaison with Arkansas-based underlords, NAPALM CHRIST.
Formed in late 2010, NAPALM CHRIST unites a crew of longtime henchmen who have helped shape the Little Rock area extreme music scene over the past two or more decades. Since the early 1990s, the four horsemen who form NAPALM CHRIST have collectively spent time at war with the mainstream in Rwake, Shredding Corpse, Pale Unearthed, Shitfire, Witch’s Tit and others. In this cult they unify their hateful ways and debauchery-ridden tactics into a volatile brew of charged-up, doom/grind-influenced death metal, reeking of days past, yet with enough potency to give fair warning of much darker days to come.
Initiated as a side-project, things got out of control, and NAPALM CHRIST began infecting the planet with recorded material, thus far accumulated in a series of random online demos, singles and comp inclusions. The latter of said demos was released via Bandcamp in June 2013, and that’s when A389 caught a whiff of the band’s trail. Recorded by Alan Wells with assistance from Keith Bracy in Little Rock, and mastered by Collin Jordan at Boiler Room Mastering in Chicago, and masked with illustrations by Dennis Lee Hughes, A389 will manifest this half-hour of disturbing anthems into an official 12″ vinyl release, followed by their debut LP later in the year. Exact street dates on both pending releases will be announced in the coming weeks. For now stream the entire 2013 Demo HERE.
