Peaceville, Black vinyl edition with poster and special gold foil finish on the front cover.
The second studio album and Peaceville label debut for US Death Rock masters, New Skeletal Faces.
It’s been 7 years since US Death Rock’s new rising sensation New Skeletal Faces arrived on our planet and embedded themselves in the seedy outlying corners of the Southern Californian music scene. Formed in 2017, the trio of Errol Fritz, KRO, & Don Void present themselves as a cosmic abomination that tote the genre lines between all manners of darkness in music. NSF cast their own black light onto the long dormant corpse of Death Rock, shattering the mirror of modern Heavy Metal into fragments that reflect back a fresh new take on this form of music with an energised & outlandish conviction.
The band’s Peaceville debut, ‘Until The Night’ (which follows in the path of 2019‘s ‘Celestial Disease’ full-length release) further enriches New Skeletal Faces’ effortless blending of the spirits of old; with the seductive & spellbinding gothic prowess of bands such as Christian Death fused with the raw unbridled energy of early Swedish black metal legend, Bathory to create a bold new statement of intent, in stark contrast to the often overly-refined polish of contemporary metal. ‘Until the Night’ is, as a result, something more akin to listening to the 1980’s Sunset Strip in an alternate universe from hell.
Recorded in the shadowy recesses of Hollywood, California, the opus was tracked, mixed and mastered by producer/engineer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, Wasp, DRI), capturing a richly-crafted, organic sound authentic to the legends of the past, presenting all-new haunted tracks alongside a reimagined take on Bathory’s own ‘Raise The Dead’. Of the recording Bill Metoyer said “It was a pleasure working with New Skeletal Faces. A band who not only chose to NOT follow recent songwriting trends of so many other newer metal bands seem to do nowadays, but also the trends in the SOUND of their record.”
