CREST OF DARKNESS moved the barriers again with "Welcome The Dead" and present the heaviest, darkest and most introspective album of their twenty years career with a band at its 110%. Their personal mix of Black, Thrash and Heavy Metal promises to make this the best album the band has ever released showing ferocious passages, a massive wall of guitars, chainsaw bass, demonic vocals and fast drums, all interspersed with clever breaks and 70s keys sounds in a complex and technically demanding arrangement that creates a musical vortex from which there is no escape. The album recorded and mixed at MLP Studio by Nils H. Maehlum and mastered at Kvalsonic Lab by Tom Kvalsvoll is a new classic of a band marked by an integrity and a personality that is hard to come by on the Metal scene. Now they have reached the point: this is the evil, this is the beast, this is the dead.
