Comments MONSTROSITY‘s very own Lee Harrison: “We’ve been primarily focused on recording the new studio album. We wanted to take a break and do some live stuff to let everyone know we are still kicking. I’ve been working on the new record with guitarist Matt Barnes. Matt has been with the band since 2010 and he has become an important force in what we are doing now. He has really come into his own on this upcoming album and I think people will be blown away when they hear it. We have guitarist Justin Walker, who did the 2019 Europe tour and has been playing with us off and on since then. He’s young and is a team player, so it’s nice having him on board. Our original bassist, Mark Van Erp is back in the lineup. People will remember Mark from the Imperial Doom album back when George Corpsegrinder was fronting the band. He’s always been a killer bassist and things worked out where it made sense to bring him back in. On vocals, we have been working with Ed Webb, who people may remember from his previous tenure with the band Massacre. Ed has been with us about a year now and it will be good to get out on a full tour and really stretch out with full sets every night. As for the tour, we wanted to give everyone a preview of what we have coming up in the future. The new album is turning out great, but there’s still a lot of work to be done so we didn’t want to wait to get back on tour. It delays the album a little, but it also keeps us in the fan’s minds while they’re waiting instead of being quiet for too long.“

On September 7th, Metal Blade Records will release The Passage Of Existence, the new album by Florida death metal legends MONSTROSITY – the band’s first album in 11 years! For a preview of The Passage Of Existence, stream “Radiated” here:

For another preview of The Passage Of Existence, head over to: metalblade.com/monstrosity

Monstrosity‘s Lee Harrison (drums) comments about the new single: “Unleashing the third single from ‘The Passage of Existence‘, this time it is ‘Radiated’. A unbridled punishing song that is one for the ages. ‘Radiated’ delivers like a dense brick to the face, combining all of the ferociousness that Monstrosity fans have come to expect. We would like to thank the fans for their undying support and we look forward to your comments and reactions to the tune. Crank it up!”

Lee Harrison recorded his drum tracks at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with veteran metal producer Jason Suecof. A week was spent creating rock solid drum tracks. Guitar and bass tracks were handled at Ascension Sound in Tampa with the vocal tracks being recorded at Obituary‘s “Redneck Studios” in Gibsonton, Florida. The mix was handled by producer Mark Lewis (Megadeth, etc), and the resulting 2018 album, The Passage Of Existence, was born. 12 tracks of masterfully crafted death metal for the modern era from the standard bearers of extreme art. Monstrosity still stand taller than ever, still delivering their brand of state of the art sonic devastation!

MONSTROSITY Reveal Details For First Studio Album In 11 Years, Launch New Single “Cosmic Pandemia”

On September 7th, Metal Blade Records will release The Passage Of Existence, the new studio album by Florida death metal legends MONSTROSITY! For a preview of The Passage Of Existence, head over to: metalblade.com/monstrosity, where you can stream the first single “Cosmic Pandemia”, plus pre-order the album.

Monstrosity‘s Lee Harrison (drums) comments: “First off, I present to you the master piece of masterpieces in the Monstrosity universe. This album requires a certain justice though and I ask you, as the listener, to properly step up to the task. Don’t play this recording on a cheap portable radio or your tiny ear buds. This album was built to be played loud on a killer system. Do yourself that favor, at least for the first few times you play it. I know it’s so horribly cliché to say ‘Play it Loud’, but I can honestly say this album is made for that. Listen to it multiple times, too. These songs are going to ‘pop’ live, too. Can’t wait to bring these songs to the stage. I’m curious to see the opinions. The response by the fans to the teaser clip we posted was super positive, so I’ll be so glad when the single is released and the years of hard work finally come to fruition. Hope to see you guys on the road soon and blast it!”
