Antropomorfia

Antropomorphia sign with Metal Blade Records; sophomore album 'Evangelivm Nekromantia' coming

Metal Blade is proud to announce the signing of Holland's best kept secret over the past 24 years! AntropomorphiA is legion to death metal lunatics of the underground and will infect soon enough all worshipers of classical death metal and bands such as Bolt Thrower, Grave and Autopsy as well as newer high class acts as Bloodbath or Hail Of Bullets.

AntropomorphiA was created under the influence from bands such as Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Infernäl Mäjesty and Bathory in a tiny town in Holland in 1989.

Over the years they got more and more brutal, released several demos and the 'Necromantic Love Songs' MCD in 1993, but went on a hiatus in the late 90s since other bands became more important.

Fast forward 2009 when other projects moved into the background, AntropomorphiA got re-activated. The line-up is still the same, original members, F (vox/guitar), M (drums), S (bass) form the trinity that is AntropomorphiA till this day.

At the end of 2011 most of the new record was recorded and the band is taking their time to make sure this album is something more, something huge, resulting in 'Evangelivm Nekromantia' - an album consisting of nine tracks, divided into three chapters of each three songs. Lyrically driven by nekrophilae, murder, necromancy and necrolesbian lust. Mastered at Necromorbus Studios by Tore Stjerna.

Comments AntropomorphiA on the deal with Metal Blade and what to expect from 'Evangelivm Nekromantia': "We are very proud to have our album coming out through such a renowned metal label as Metal Blade. Metal Blade has a rich history and houses some amazing bands so to become a part of that family feels great. We've been working on this conception for almost a year. Dedicated to composing a new sort of disturbing death metal darkness exceeding most of the one-dimensional releases you got to hear most of these days!"

'Evangelivm Nekromantia' will be released October, 19th/22nd via Metal Blade Records in Europe on CD and LP.

AntropomorphiA is:
Ferry Damen (vocals, guitar)
Marc van Stiphout (bass)
Marco Stubbe (drums)
