In January 2018, a trio was formed in Bremen, which from the first note on has dedicated itself to fast, uncompromising death metal with a feeling for the sound of the old school. We're talking about Soul Grinder, who made a scene wide name for themselves with their "Sadistic Parasite" titled EP in the same year. Now with "Chronicles Of Decay" the debut longplayer of the germans is available to prove that they can keep up with the expectations which was stoked with the EP. "Chronicles of Decay" contains 11 tracks of finest Death Metal on 45 minutes, from Blast Speed Attacks to groovy steamrollers and mystical hymns. Without straying too far from the core of brutal death metal, the band offers an enormous range on their debut, and thus a varied and stirring first album. The self recorded and produced album features several guest appearances by musicians from the bands circle of friends, so on "Chronicles of Decay" you listen also to members of Negator, Endseeker and Fear Connection. The style-defining cover artwork is by the American artist Riddick Art, who has been known throughout the scene since 1991 with several logo and cover designs.
