CRIMINAL Post Another Demo Track Online
December 16, 2008, 15 years ago
Anglo-Chilean thrash masters CRIMINAL have posted another new track in demo version, titled 'Eyes Of Temptation', at their MySpace page.
The band is currently in the final stages of production of their new album, White Hell, which will be released by Massacre Records on February 27th, 2009. White Hell will be released in a limited edition including a bonus DVD, the contents of which will be announced shortly.
Formed in the early 90s in Santiago de Chile by ex-PENTAGRAM mastermind Anton Reisenegger and guitar virtuoso Rodrigo Contreras, Criminal were combining elements of thrash, hardcore and death metal long before the
term "metalcore" was even thought of. The band enjoyed a meteoric rise to the forefront of the South American metal scene, including five-digit album sales, shows with the likes of KREATOR, SEPULTURA and SLAYER and a nomination for Best Rock Video at the MTV Latino Video Music Awards, but was faced with severe personal and business problems around the turn of the decade. Reisenegger and Contreras then decided to relocate to the UK, regrouping in a half-Chilean, half-British line-up. Since then, the band has played on major European festivals such as Wacken and Summer Breeze, as well as support shows with bands such as CHIMAIRA, SIX FEET UNDER, BURJERIA and LAMB OF GOD.
Criminal is: Anton Reisenegger - vocals, guitar, Rodrigo Contreras - lead guitar, Zac O'Neil - drums, Dan Biggin - bass.
