The Italian thrash-death-killing-machine METHEDRAS have signed with storied American label Pavement Music for the November 11 worldwide release of new album System Subversion.
A trailer video featuring songs from the album and performance clips can be viewed here.
METHEDRAS has also reached an agreement with booking agency Truck Me Hard for the promotion of the band in the Italian territory.
Finally, guitarist Eros Mozzi decided to part ways with the band due to other priorities in his personal life. He has been replaced with current live-session guitarist for the past year, Daniele Colombo, who is now an official/permanent member.
Quintessence of the most direct-in-your-face thrash-death style, Methedras sets among the leading underground Italian bands, a real war-machine which has been able to release a demo and three full-length albums during its 18 years of activity, as well as have performed hundreds of concerts throughout Europe, many of them in support of big names of the international metal scene (Testament, Dismember, Destruction, Exodus, Overkill, Sepultura above the others), without ever losing an ounce of anger and energy.
Quartet formed by Andrea (bass), Claudio (vocals), Eros (guitars) and Daniele (drums), originally near Milan in 1996 with a two-guitar line-up, the band has changed over the years various members preferring a solid line-up with only one guitar, arriving to a proper own style with no compromise: a sort of derived thrash metal (Low/The Gathering era Testament) spiced with more typical death metal influences (Death, Entombed) and a groove-hardcore approach concerning the vocals (early Machine Head / Pantera).
Previously under the flag of Punishment 18 Records, with the well-reviewed album Katarsis released worldwide in 2009, the Italian thrashers just finished completing the creation of their last effort, System Subversion, recorded in the beginning of 2014 at the superb Domination Studio, under the guide of the mastermind Simone Mularoni (DGM, Necrodeath, Bulldozer, Vision Divine, The Modern Age Slavery), and to be released on November 11 through Pavement Music.
