New York slam pioneers INTERNAL BLEEDING have premiered a hyper-violent new single, ‘Overthrow Creation’, available now via Unique Leader Records.
On the single, guitarist and founding member Chris Pervelis states: “For close to 30 years, we’ve tried to expand our sound without losing the core of who we are, and with ‘Overthrow Creation,’ I think we’ve achieved the ideal balance we’ve been striving towards. The song hits you hard as hell, but there are also moments of nuance and melody that keep things interesting.”
The new track comes as the first to feature new vocalist Steve Worley, whose ferocious vocal performance combines both an old-school Internal Bleeding feel and his aggressive style. He comments: “I pushed in a few different directions with this one, and I hope it does justice to both the song and our fans. I can’t wait to lay down tracks for the next album.”
Formed in 1991, Internal Bleeding spearheaded the formation of the slam genre, and ‘Overthrow Creation’ is a testament to that claim. It’s not just a non-stop assault of Internal Bleeding‘s often imitated hyper-violent slam groove. Instead, it’s much more than what fans come to expect from the band.
Riffs are forever, violence is forever, and Internal Bleeding reigns eternally. The band can’t wait to break necks every night on their US tour with Deicide, Kataklysm, and Begat the Nephilim.
Pioneering New York death metal legends INTERNAL BLEEDING have announced a livestream in conjunction with Dark Forces Live, showing on 2nd Jan at 5pm EST/ 10PM GMT / 11PM CET.
Guitarist Chris Pervelis commented “Welp, 2020 certainly sucked — so let’s bring in a new, better year on January 2! Join IB and thousands of fans worldwide and SLAM your way into 2021 with a killer livestream concert.”
The band will perform as set featuring material spanning their career as well as their devastatingly heavy sixth full length album, Corrupting Influence, out now via Unique Leader Records.
Obituary’s Trevor Peres, Joe Cincotta from Full Force Studio, and Sean Bell from Forever Dark have joined together creating Dark Forces Live, a new live streaming platform. To celebrate, Dark Forces Live has invited INTERNAL BLEEDING to perform at their inaugural livestream event. The performance will broadcast from Designatronix industries in Ronkonkoma, NY.
Trevor Peres comments: “After doing the livestreams with Obituary, Joe Cincotta, who was doing the sound for the first two streams, asked me if I would want to start up a production/promotion company to produce livestreams up in New York. I, immediately, loved the idea and figured we could help out metal bands that don’t know where to start to produce a livestream concert. We put a ton of hours researching and figuring out how this shit works, so we are taking that new found knowledge and experience to other bands and starting Dark Forces Live.”

VADER, released their crushing new album “The Empire” on November 4th via Nuclear Blast, and once again proved that their merciless riffs are made to unleash hell. Without doubt, “The Empire” falls under the category of VADER’s classic albums. The impressive monument that they have built with their 13th studio album immediately found its place in metal history and proves that VADER don’t need to make their peace with the world; they never did, and they certainly don’t now with “The Empire” – especially after writing more than 30 years’ worth of Death Metal history.
“The Empire” was recorded at Hertz Studios in Bialystok, Poland and produced by Wojtek and Slawek Wiesawski. The stunning cover artwork was created by Joe Petagno (Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Sodom).
“The Empire” tracklisting:
“Angels Of Steel”
“Tempest”
“Prayer To The God Of War” (album version)
“Iron Reign”
“No Gravity”
“Genocidius”
“The Army-Geddon”
“Feel My Pain”
“Parabellum” (album version)
“Send Me Back To Hell”
