Dutch death metallers ASPHYX will release their new studio album, Death... The Brutal Way, on June 22nd in Europe. The artwork, done by Mick Koopman (HAIL OF BULLETS, DEAD HEAD, etc.), has been revealed (click image on the left to enlarge).
Also available is the album’s opening track ‘Scorbutics’. Check it out on the band’s MySpace page.
Vocalist Martin van Drunen checks in and comments:
"Right, you ultra-mean deathsters! We're proud to present the skullcrushing opening track ‘Scorbutics’ from our new album Death... The Brutal Way. I guess there's nothing to be said. This is Asphyx in its purest form. Our long-time fans know what to expect and we're damn sure we didn't disappoint them. Check it out and bang your head to this one. Be sure to have some cold beers in the fridge for the thirst that comes up afterwards! You can now also check the cover artwork from Death... The Brutal Way and again, what's there more to be said?! Death and Asphyx...That's what it is! A barren wasteland (of terror, haha)! A true dark masterpiece that fits in an excellent way to the most brutal piece of pure death/doom we ever made!Enjoy it and watch out for the album on June 22nd!"
