Emerging from the shadowy depths of the extreme metal underground, MONSTROSITY reasserts their unrelenting dominance with their latest opus, Screams From Beneath The Surface, set to drop on March 13th on Metal Blade Records.
This ferocious release -their first in seven years – showcases the band’s signature blend of aggression, technical precision, and intensity. Led by drummer, founder, and primary songwriter Lee Harrison, MONSTROSITY is reinvigorated with a formidable lineup: long-tenured guitarist Matt Barnes, the triumphant return of original bassist Mark Van Erp, and vocalist Ed Webb (ex-Massacre), whose guttural, visceral delivery injects electrifying new energy into the band’s sound. Screams From Beneath The Surface not only solidifies MONSTROSITY‘s hallmark death metal ferocity but also pushes the genre’s boundaries, forging a path that is both innovative and true to their roots.
The album, containing ten tracks of uncompromising death metal, exemplifies the insurgent spirit MONSTROSITY has long been celebrated for. Standout songs like “Banished To The Skies” and “The Atrophied” deliver a masterclass in blending bone-crushing riffs, intricate drumming, and vivid, visceral lyrical imagery that sears into the listener’s psyche. Meanwhile, tracks such as “The Dark Aura” and “Fortunes Engraved In Blood” showcase the band’s ability to evolve, introducing fresh sonic dimensions while maintaining the savage intensity that defines their legacy. Each composition is evidence of MONSTROSITY‘s technical prowess and their refusal to compromise, cementing their status as pioneers of the genre.
Screams From Beneath The Surface was crafted with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Harrison’s monstrous vision and the band’s seamless chemistry. The recording process spanned multiple studios to achieve sonic perfection. Drums, bass, and mixing were handled at Audiohammer Studios under the expert guidance of producer Jason Suecof (The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide, Job For A Cowboy), while vocals, guitars, and mastering took place at the legendary Morrisound Studios, where MONSTROSITY reunited with revered producer Jim Morris (Iced Earth, Warrant, Savatage), alongside Mark Prator and BJ Ramone. This combination of cutting-edge and classic production techniques ensure a punishing sound that is honoring the band’s storied history while embracing modern death metal’s evolution. The album’s striking cover art, created by artist Timbul Cahyono, is a wholly organic creation, free from AI or computer-generated renderings, embodying the raw, authentic spirit of MONSTROSITY‘s music.
In advance of the record’s release, today the band unleashes first single, “The Colossal Rage.” The track hits hard and gets right to the point. This straightforward song delivers a barrage of riffs with a monstrous attitude. New MONSTROSITY vocalist, Ed Webb, unleashes a punishing performance including some monumental screams. ‘A pedestal for a king to rise‘ indeed. Van Erp’s bass relentlessly pummels throughout, complemented by Barnes’ impressive lead guitar work. Harrison wrote the original themes for the song and collaborated with Barnes to elevate it to the next level. The lyrics are unforgiving and dominating, sparing no living creature. Fully intended to roll over the listener like a bulldozer.
