Desaster announce new album ‘Churches Without Saints’

DESASTER have announced a new album!

Titled Churches Without Saints, the upcoming album from the German blackened thrash metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s The Oath Of An Iron Ritual and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Metal Blade Records.

“It’s a typical DESASTER old school black-death-thrash metal album, with a lot of aggression, but also great atmosphere and epic tunes!” Enthuses guitarist and founding member Infernal about the upcoming new album. The record was tracked in the band’s rehearsal room and was recorded, mixed and mastered by their live mixer Jan ‘Janosch’ Gensheimer. This led to a very relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole process, having rehearsed a lot prior to recording and also doing a full pre-production demo with their own equipment, meaning they could record very fast and without many mistakes. They did however change things up a little, sonically speaking.

“It was a big goal for me to change the sound a bit,” says Infernal. “Whereas the last albums had a very harsh sound, where the mid and high frequencies were dominating, I wanted a warmer and smoother sound this time. I always liked the sound of our Tyrants of the Netherworld album from 2000 very much, and the new album is an effort to develop this sound with more details and different instruments. On Tyrants, we had the rough mud of deepest hellish caves, now we present you the black lava which is flowing around the throne of Satan himself!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Learn To Love The Void.
