THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD will quickly remind listeners what it was like to live through the golden days of death metal, when American metal titans Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse roamed the land and At The Gates’ Slaughter of The Soul was still newly-minted territory. Fast forward to 2005, and the band has created a fresh sound a decade later, although the band still utilizes the fundamentals that made new death metal records an exciting experience in the early 90s.
After releasing an EP in 2004 and a split CD with The Knife Trade in July of 2005, the band has new blood, including bassist Jake Ososkie of Arsis fame and Josh Kulick on drums. The two join guitarists Longshore and Chris Anderson, and vocalist Anthony Gunnels, who helps give TTEOTD its terrifying sound. With new members and a determination to bring their live show to countless cities across the country, BLOODLUST is an apt title for a young band on a quest to build a following one venue at a time.
Working alongside producer Jamie King (Between The Buried and Me, Glass Casket) for the recording of BLOODLUST, the band is ready to usher in a new chapter of death metal that is crisp but heavy, technical yet cohesive, and melodic but brutal, all at the same time. Most importantly, though, the band is ready to resuscitate the metal scene with BLOODLUST, a record that will undoubtedly make THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD an undead force to be reckoned with.
