Los Angeles thrashers ANGER AS ART have released the second lyric video from upcoming Old School Metal Records album Ad Mortem Festinamus. Thrash ’em all with “Praise of the Firehead” at this location!
A lyric video for the song “Aim for the Heart” was released last month and is available for anger management here. Decibel also got in on the action with the exclusive premiere of “Tombward,” which can be utilized for neighborhood destabilization at this location. Bassist/vocalist Eric Bryan (ex-Necroscope), who appeared in critically acclaimed film Metal: A Headbangers Journey, wrote (and sings on) “Tombward.”
ANGER AS ART will release Ad Mortem Festinamus March 11 on Old School Metal Records. On the highly anticipated follow-up to 2013 barnstormer Hubris, Inc. the quartet has done the improbable by creating a roaring thrash metal beast that doesn’t just raise the bar; it crushes it into dust. Pre-order Ad Mortem Festinamus here.
Recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Ronald Sandoval at Rev Studios, Chino CA, Ad Mortem Festinamus (Latin translation: We Hurry into Death) is everything you’ve come to expect from ANGER AS ART…and more! Speeding recklessness, lacerating solos, and a shrapnel storm of riffs combine to make what will undoubtedly be considered one of 2016’s fiercest forays into Thrash Metal Armageddon. Ad Mortem Festinamus is venomous, angry thrash/speed/death metal. If you feel that no one hears your voice and you’re pissed about it, then this is the album for you…because everyone is angry, and ANGER is beautiful!
ANGER AS ART will play a CD Release show April 2nd at Malone’s in Santa Ana, CA. Confirmed support acts so far include RESISTANCE and ANCIENT SPELL, with more to be announced soon.
