January 14, 2012, 12 years ago
UK-based deathcrust metallers WINDS OF GENOCIDE has announced the upcoming full-length album as Usurping The Throne Of Disease. The band has tapped world-renowned gruesome graphic illustrator Mark Riddick (SLAYER, MORBID ANGEL, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, SUFFOCATION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE) to oversee the entire artwork and layout duties. The initial rough sketch for Usurping The Throne Of Disease can be found below:
In other news, Winds Of Genocide recently underwent a line-up adjustment enlisting new drummer Matthew Henderson and guitarist Linus Girdland Flink.
In an official statement released by the band: "This is the new line-up that will be writing material for and recording the debut full-length album Usurping The Throne Of Disease. Matthew is a great young versatile drummer (still only in his teens, he is currently 17 years old, nearly 18) and he also drums in a local death metal band called Plague Rider. He can switch from D-Beats, Swebeats and blast beats, which is all we need in a drummer! He has picked up most of the songs we have written so far VERY quickly and learnt the current setlist with impressive ease. We are very happy to have him in the band and onboard for the full-length album. Linus, who played drums on our first two recordings and tracks for the upcoming split with Abigail (Japan), has now moved on to second guitar dues to him moving to London so we needed to find a drummer who could rehearse and work on new material regularly."
