Purtenance

Purtenance: sophomore album 'Awaken from Slumber' out in October

The long awaited 2nd album of Finnish death metal legends Purtenance is finished and soon to be released through Xtreem Music. After 2012's comeback EP 'Sacrifice the King', which got mixed feelings amongst fans, the band not only continued working on new songs, but also added a second guitarist named Ville Nokelainen and entered studios in spring 2013 to record this new album entitled 'Awaken from Slumber' at the same time they offered their first shows in 20 years.

For those who expect a "Member of Immortal Damnation II", they won't find it here. That album was done over 20 years ago with a different line up. 'Awaken from Slumber' shows the heaviest and darkest side of the band. This is how Purtenance sounds in2013: A fucking crushing, heavy and gloomy death metal with inhuman brutal vocals. Those who weren't satisfied with their previous EP should give it a listen to this new album bacause they'll be gladly surprised.

Track listing:
01. Intro
02. Hatred
03. What Was Hidden
04. Toxic Death

07. End for the Parasites (Called Humankind)
08. Hour of the Cannibal
