Stockholm, Sweden-based melodic death metallers DEGRADEAD are set to release their third album, A World Destroyer, tomorrow, June 28th in North America via Metalville Records.

The album was recorded at Peter Tägtgren's (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) Abyss Studios in Pärlby, outside Ludvika, Sweden, produced by Degradead and Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY, CENTINEX, WORLD BELOW).

A World Destroyer is currently streaming in it's entirety as part of AOL's Full CD Listening Party. Check it out at this location.

In the beginning of 2005, using the band name SEPTIMA, a demo was recorded, entitled Rest in Pieces, which included the songs 'Day of the Dead', 'Resemblance of The Past', 'The Bloodchain', and 'Burned'. In 2006 Septima recorded their second demo, Death Row, with six tracks including 'Relations to the Humanity' and 'The Fallen'. A selection of songs from both demos were later re-recorded to form the group's debut album, Til Death Do Us Apart.

A strong following in Sweden grew as Degradead consistently amazed their live audience. Jesper Strömblad of IN FLAMES offered to work with the band when he heard the Death Row demo. On Jesper's initiative, Degradead travelled to Gotheburg and recorded Til Death Do Us Apart in the IF studios. The album was produced by the H.O.R.D.E team, mixed and engineered by Björn Gelotte and co-engineered by Jesper Strömblad, Peter Iwers, and Daniel Svensson.

The result of the sessions is the finest of melodic death metal records, which manages to achieve a balance between death metal, thrash and catchy melodies and highlight the bands' signature sound. Mikael Sehlin uses his unique style of screaming through the first ten songs, 'Genetic Waste' to 'Reborn'. Finally, with the title track, ''Til Death Do Us Apart', placed at the end of the album, Degradead prove that they can handle the tranquility of an all-acoustic song.

In November 2008 Degradead headed north of Stockholm to Ludvika to record their second album, Out Of Body Experience, this time working with producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, CARNAL FORGE). The album was mixed, mastered and finalized in December and a few short months later, February 2009, Dockyard1 released the album.

With the release of their new album 2011 is shaping up to be quite the year for Degradead.
