DRAWN AND QUARTERED – Seattle death metallers share new track “Age of Ignorance,” LP ‘Congregation Pestilence’ out next week via Krucyator Productions

Death metal masters Drawn and Quartered are gearing themselves up for the 08th album, Congregation Pestilence,due out July 02nd via Krucyator Productions on vinyl, CD, and digital formats. As the final and the third snippet of the record, the Seattle trio share the track “Age of Ignorance,” premiered at CVLT Nation (STREAM + READ full feature AT THIS LOCATION).  

Inform Herb Burke, the band’s vocalist and bassist:
“‘Age of Ignorance’ appeared previously only on the CD edition of ‘Proliferation of Disease.’ Known to occasionally appear in live Drawn And Quartered sets, a spontaneous, driving song sees some added embellishment on ‘Congregation Pestilence.’  A song, alas, that is not germane only to the past. A soundtrack for the funeral that never ends.”

Find vinyl and CD pre-orders HERE (webshop), or visit Bandcamp for both physical and digital pre-orders.

A formidable and influential force in the domain of extreme metal, Drawn and Quartered arrived on the scene nearly three decades ago in 1992 under the name Plague Bearer. A year later, the dark death metal group changed their name to Drawn and Quartered; the guitarist Kelly would later revive Plague Bearer as a separate project in 1999.

Forever underground, Drawn and Quartered perhaps have not achieved the level of recognition that other contemporary death metal legends have in their possession. But is it a touchstone to downplay the Seattle horde’s weight? Well, the awe-inspiring discography of 7 critically acclaimed full-lengths, a sprinkling of mini releases, and decades of mutilated live obliterations should be self-evident to determine their death metal hunger and mastery.  

On the imminent 08th LP, Congregation Pestilence, Drawn and Quartered stick to their guns without de-escalating the branded frenetic motion, interminable aggression, cyclonic complexity, or unfathomable darkness, and legitimately, the death metal veterans consider it as their strongest studio offering to date. Having new songs written for a split that never eventuated and numbers already performed live, this opus oozes a primordial celebration of violence and devilry.
