France uncompromising Death Metal vets are releasing a brand new single ‘Born of the Storm’ on all platforms on July 10th, it is also available as a limited edition 7 inch ep of 500 copies worldwide in transparent red vinyl with a scorching rendition of Slayer’s ‘Evil has no boundaries’ on side B.
By all accounts, a 40 year career for a music artist is quite of an achievement, notably for an extreme metal band travelling through all the evolutions as regards to music consumption and business in general, and who still sound undeniably as fierce, powerful and more ferocious than ever !.
LOUDBLAST recently celebrated such 40th anniversary by playing 4 legendary sold out shows in their native town Lille, in the north of France .
How many bands out there had been playing death metal for that long ? How many have helped kick-start a whole movement and are still around to tell the tale? How many have put out such universally-praised albums in the 90s like ‘Disincarnate’ or ‘Sublime Dementia’ and are still active these days? You do the math. But while you’re at it, LOUDBLAST and their undisputable leader Stéphane Buriez are keeping themselves busy moving forward, as ever. And their ninth full-length ‘Altering Fates And Destinies’ issued in November 2024 saw them reaching another level of sophistication while, at the same time, returning more than ever at the very roots of their craft.
The limited edition ‘Born of the Storm’ 7inch in transparent red vinyl is available HERE (comes with a free patch)
