With one foot ingrained in old school death-metal and the other one firmly placed in the more extreme and darker side of the genre, Visceral is a new death-metal project from Portugal created by Bruno K. from In Tha Umbra and featuring current and former members of Gaerea, Enthroned, Lucifyre, Nightbringer and Grog among others. The band’s debut album “The Tree of Venomous Fruit” is set for release on November 18th via Raging Planet Records and sees Visceral unleashing a unrelentingly heavy and ferocious death-metal that recaptures the raw and menacing aura of the early 90’s, while maintaining the brute violence and aggression of today’s death-metal. “Upborne with Indefatigable Wings” is another taster of what’s to come and is now playing at this location. “Talking about Visceral, I have to talk about myself really, because this is, to some extent, a very personal project.” Says Bruno K. “These last twelve months have been like a rebirth for me and I had the opportunity to rediscover myself, not only mentally and physically but also as an artist. I naturally found the right persons to accompany me on this journey, and there was no great need to do much explaining or provide guidelines, because I know them well, and when I invited them to take part in Visceral, I didn’t want to cripple their artistic creativity in any way. I even altered some things influenced by their input, because we are not only friends – the respect and admiration for one another goes across their professionalism as musicians, because all of them and their skills are at the top of the game of extreme music.” |
