Century Media Records reports:

Premier Dutch old school death metal act ASPHYX is back and soon to release their new studio album, Death... The Brutal Way, on June 22nd in Europe.

The limited edition of the release will also contain additional slipcase packaging as well as a bonus DVD featuring the band’s entire, unforgettable reunion show from Party.San festival 2007.

Here is the exact tracklist for the bonus DVD: 'Vermin', 'M.S. Bismarck', 'Serenade In Lead', 'The Sickening Dwell', 'Food For The Ignorant', 'The Krusher', 'Wasteland Of Terror', 'Asphyx (Forgotten War)', 'Pages In Blood', 'The Rack', 'Last One On Earth'.

Starting now, you can check out the live-clip of the classic ASPHYX tune 'M.S. Bismarck' (Live @ Party.San 2007) exclusively at this location.

Furthermore, the album’s vicious opening track 'Scorbutics' can be heard at Asphyx's newly designed MySpace page.

The band checks in as follows: “We just got back from a fantastic show in Athens/Greece... and the release date of our new album Death... The Brutal Way is coming nearer! So far we got great media response on our album and it's even been voted “album of the month” in some magazines as well, so that makes us really proud! Watch out for the limited edition version of the release which includes a bonus DVD from the reunion show at the Party.San festival in 2007. Why add a bonus DVD? Well, that was simply a brilliant show and that's actually where it all started again for Asphyx! Our album release show on the 4th of July at Turock in Essen / Germany will be filmed, so if you are a true old school Death Metal fan in the area, make sure to be present! Asphyx greets you all!”

In the line-up consisting of Martin van Drunen (Vocals), Wannes Gubbels (Bass/Vocals), Paul Baayens (Guitar) and Bob Bagchus (Drums), these old school metal icons recorded Death... The Brutal Way at Sonic Assault Studio with Frank Klein Douwel. Afterwards, the album was mixed and mastered by the none less legendary Dan Swanö (BLOODBATH, EDGE OF SANITY, HAIL OF BULLETS, etc.). Transferring the band’s classic trademarks of doomy, macabre death metal into the year 2009, Death... The Brutal Way is easily the heaviest Asphyx album to date and the first to feature the titanic roar of Martin van Drunen since 1992’s classic Last One On Earth.

Next to upcoming appearances at high-profile festivals like Deathfeast and With Full Force, Asphyx have lined-up an exclusive album release club-show for Death…The Brutal Way, on Saturday, July 4th at Turock in Essen, Germany. Support for this special event will come from fellow metallers DESASTER and NECROS CHRISTOS.

The show will be filmed with multiple cameras, so make sure not to miss this special show! More details at turock.de.
