Maple Metal Records has signed Quebec death metallers MASSIVE SLAVERY and will release their first album, Global Enslavement, in early August.

According to a press release, Massive Slavery hails from the gold-mining region of Northern Quebec, Val d'Or. The province of Quebec, Canada has traditionally been a hot bed for great metal talent and now Massive Slavery can be added to that illustrious list.

Born from a concept conceived by bassist Marc-André Barrette (ex-PAROXYSM) and guitarist Joël St-Amant (DESCEND INTO NOTHINGNESS), Massive Slavery was officially created in the winter of 2009.

Having previously worked with Joel in Descend Into Nothingness, drummer Pierre-Alexandre Mercier (Decrepity) did not hesitate to join the crew. Even if the band were still looking for a frontman, they began to write and work on fresh material.

After a couple of months of hunting around, their search was finally over when vocalist Jonathan St-Pierre landed the role, to round out this new quartet. His addition to the band gave new dynamics, and a boost of energy to push the band into finalizing the writing of their first album.

The collaboration of this musical assault Global Enslavement, combines a mix of melodic, brutal and technical death metal.

The album was produced, realized and recorded by Yannick St-Amand (DESPISED ICON, NEURAXIS, BENEATH THE MASSACRE, MARTYR), and mixed and mastered by Pierre Remillard (CRYPTOPSY, OBLIVEON, KRISIUN).

Massive Slavery is:

Jonathan St-Pierre - vocals

Joel St-Amant - guitar

Marc-André Barrette - bass

Pierre-Alexandre Mercier - drums
