Florida-based death metal group Monstrosity issued sixth full-length studio album The Passage Of Existence on September 7th, 2018 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
Drummer Lee Harrison commented: “First off, I present to you the master piece of masterpieces in the Monstrosity universe. This album requires a certain justice though and I ask you, as the listener, to properly step up to the task. Don’t play this recording on a cheap portable radio or your tiny ear buds. This album was built to be played loud on a killer system. Do yourself that favour, at least for the first few times you play it. I know it’s so horribly cliché to say ‘Play it Loud’, but I can honestly say this album is made for that. Listen to it multiple times, too.
“These songs are going to ‘pop’ live, too. Can’t wait to bring these songs to the stage. I’m curious to see the opinions. The response by the fans to the teaser clip we posted was super positive, so I’ll be so glad when the single is released and the years of hard work finally come to fruition. Hope to see you guys on the road soon and blast it!”
Drums were tracked at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with Jason Suecof, over the course of a week. Guitar and bass was tracked at Ascension Sound in Tampa, Florida, while vocals were tracked at Obituary’s ‘Redneck Studios’ in Gibsonton, Florida.
Mixing was handled by Mark Lewis.
