Italian Progressive Death Metal band SADIST, has released its new single “Accabadora”, alongside an official music video, filmed by Grupa 13 (BEHEMOTH, HUNTER, DECAPITATED). The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album “Firescorched’, out on May 20th through Agonia Records.
The band’s personnel includes – besides constant member, co-founder, guitarist and keyboardist Tommy Talamanca – long-running vocalist Trevor Sadist (with the band since 1996), new virtuoso drummer Romain Goulon (ex-NECROPHAGIST, ex-BENIGHTED) and fretless bass master Jeroen Paul Thesseling (OBSCURA, ex-PESTILENCE).
“Firescorched” is the fastest, highly experimental and most extreme album of SADIST‘s career. The songs are fresh, embrace blast beats and give away a horror vibe, in combination with gloomy and anguished lyrics. The band’s adventurous style, featuring jazz and Middle-Eastern influences, pierces through a veil of Progressive Death Metal that cloaks nine new compositions (eleven, if counting two bonus songs).
“Firescorched can be described as SADIST 2.0”, comments Talamanca. “It’s not a real concept album in the classical meaning of the word, despite the fact that most of the lyrics are somehow connected. Some of them are real horror stories, and the whole album sounds really creepy. We all love the cover artwork, which adds to that feeling.”
