Ichor’s ‘Depths’ out now + complete album stream

ICHOR‘s Depths is out now on Bastardized Recordings and streaming in its entirety at this location. After slaying European fans with their vicious brand of modern Death Metal, the German quintet is now offering aural decimation to North and South American fans.

The earth is destroyed and mankind escapes into the sea. But the struggle for survival continues as a new society struggles to combat authoritarian reign with furious passion. This plunge into the deep, dark sea is the central theme of Depths, a story that ICHOR delivers with a soundtrack that both mesmerizes and assaults the listener. Depths was recorded at Hertz Studios in Białystok, Poland (Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader, etc). Stylistically, Depths is most similar to American Death Metal with crushing riffs and a pummeling drum attack, complete with black metal flourishes and an overall approach that offers listeners a varied and memorable experience.

ICHOR \ˈī-ˌkȯr, -kər\ Definition:
1: an ethereal fluid taking the place of blood in the veins of the ancient Greek gods

ICHOR started their crusade in 2008. After they have released a demotape on their own the band released their first full-length album The Siege in 2009. This album was recorded and mixed by Phil Hillen from the SU2-Studio, and mastered by Simon of War From A Harlots Mouth. After this release the band went on the road and toured with bands like Aborted, Benighted, and The Black Dahlia Murder. In 2010, ICHOR released their second album, Benthic Horizon, which was recorded in the mighty Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader, Hate) in Białystok/Poland. Benthic Horizon appeared in Europe via Bastardized Recordings and was re-released in the UK by Siege of Amida in 2011. After another year of tireless touring through Europe ICHOR went to the Hertz studio again to record their third full-length album, Depths, that will now appear on Bastardized Recordings. Depths is a journey into the deep sea, an escape into destruction and the downfall of mankind, which has to re-create and to struggle with obsession, with power, war, suffering and the passion for survival.
