August 4, 2009, 15 years ago
Maple Metal Records - the Toronto-based label founded by producer John Belrose (EXCITER's Heavy Metal Maniac) - has issued the following press release:
"SUBHUMAN is considered to be 'one of the best bands' to rise up from Italy’s flourishing Thrash Metal underground movement. Formed in 2001, this 5-member band was inspired by early Bay Area legends, but has consistently aimed to stand out above their peers, embodying influences from the savagery of Death Metal and modern technical elements, much in the same vein as MESHUGGAHand NEVERMORE. In finalizing their compositions, everything is enriched with Italian lyrics, which contribute to distinguish Subhuman from the multitude of other bands that play a similar style of music.Their debut Delirio n° 1, was one of the highest rated EPs in 2005, and has been a real earthquake for the underground Metal scene. Italian and international reviews have been totally enthusiastic and Delirio n° 1 has garnered a huge series of "top demo" titles, permitting Subhuman to acquire an uncommonly strong impact for a debuting band. The success of the EP allowed the band to have many opportunities for intense live activity, with non-stop touring and acquiring a huge fan following. Subhuman stunned the crowd with their killer live performance at the Evolution Festival ’08, playing on the same roster as IN FLAMES, OPETH, GAMMA RAY, DEATH ANGEL and many more.
In November 2008, after the line-up was renewed, Subhuman entered Studio73 (EPHEL DUATH, EXTREMA, SLOWMOTION APOCALYPSE, etc.) to record their first full-length album, Profondo Rozzo. A few months later the band inked a deal with Canadian upstart label Maple Metal Records that released the album on August 21st, 2009.
Profondo Rozzo is pure dynamite Thrash-Death Metal: killer riffs, powerful voice, stunning guitar solos and earthshaking drumming for 9 songs of intense moshing power!
Subhuman's reign in the Heavy Metal spotlight has now arrived!"
