NUNSLAUGHTER Set Release Date For First Album In Seven Years; To Tour Europe This Summer
April 17, 2014, 10 years ago
Hells Headbangers has announced June 24th as the international release date for NUNSLAUGHTER's Angelic Dread. Set to be released on double CD and double vinyl LP formats, Angelic Dread is the American band's first studio full-length in seven years, since 2007's Hex, also released by Hells Headbangers.
With a massive discography bested in size only by Japan's SABBAT, Nunslaughter are one of the longest-running active death metal bands around, nearing their 30th anniversary in 2017 - and, of course, they are the originators of "devil metal". With a rabid cult following worldwide, Nunslaughter will deliver their defining statement with Angelic Dread.
Says founding vocalist Don of the Dead, "The Nunslaughter maniacs have demanded it, and we are prepared to deliver - our first full-length studio album in nearly seven years. We have bided our time, and now we are ready to fill the skies with Angelic Dread."
