Updates galore
May 7th, 2008
Firstly, Dan Lerner has created the new logo for Chrome Leaf (see below). It’s been a while in the works but was more than worth the wait. Shirts are in the works so if you are interested in ordering one, get in touch with me here. He has a new production company that is just beginning to take off called Black Moon. Expect more output from him via Chrome Leaf in the near future.

On to band news. The May ‘08 issue of Metal Maniacs features a Deadsea cd contest in which 5 winners will receive a free copy of the new opus. Deadsea are also featured in the new June ‘08 progressive issue of Metal Edge. There is a full page feature of the band as well as a review of the self-titled cd. This is a great issue with Opeth, Boris and a host of other great bands out today. Stay tuned for a print review in the June issue of Metal Maniacs as well. They will be playing all over the east coast and midwest this summer so keep coming back to check for tour dates. Plans are being worked out for a west coast venture at some point this year as well. This will be the first time deadsea have made it west of the ole’ Mississipp.

Prosantus Inferi have a review of the one-sided lp that is currently sold out (actually there are about 8 or so copies left. Email me if interested in getting one) in the May issue of Metal Maniacs. Plans are in the works to repress the mini-lp in time for the SACRIFICE OF THE NAZARENE CHILD FESTIVAL June 21 (Summer Solstice). The band will have copies of the lp for sale at the show, as well as t-shirts. Please, if you are at the show, buy one of each to help the band cover expenses incurred getting down there for this monster of a show.
Here is a review that Aquarius records gave the Prosanctus Inferi mLP:
When we first put this on, the aQ death metal experts were convinced this was some old DM classic reissued. We were hearing Deicide, Slayer, Darkthrone, but a bit more on the grind side, hints of Circle Of Dead Children and Phobia, but the more we listened, the more it sounded too dense and heavy, too furious and frantic, and even though it definitely borrowed from the classics BIG TIME, it sounded too modern. This is in fact the latest record from a band called Prosanctus Inferi who hail from Columbus, Ohio, and who recorded this festering chunk of buzzing black sickness just last year!
These guys definitely know their shit. Spewing a relentless stream of furious snarling blackened buzz, relentless and filthy, the production incredibly dense and suffocating, the guitars massive, no tinny insect like buzzing, the riffs here ROAR, the drums blast and pound, the sound is definitely rooted in black metal, but is definitely on the blackened side, and most of the songs veer into short stretches of tangled grind, shades of early Carcass, but whoever they’re borrowing from, PI whip their various influences into a total head spinning black death workout, shifting gears every few seconds, riffs splintering apart, brutal blasts slowing down into doomy grooves, then exploding back into some static death metal pound. Another online review described this record as “virgin hammering goat blasting black death metal” and who are we to argue?
LIMITED TO 100 COPIES, already nearly sold out at the label. Swank two sided silkscreened sleeves, the back side just a half sleeve revealing the lp inside.

PORTAL (Brisbane, Australia) have sent over the artwork for the Lurker at the Threshold EP to be released this summer. It will be a full colour picture disc featuring two of the three tracks on the original cassette version. With mastering handled by the band, we are more than stoked to get this one on a turntable near you. All copies will be hand-numbered and limited to 1000 copies.
