Vital Remains

The definition of extreme can be interpreted in many ways,
VITAL REMAINS, however, takes its meaning to a whole new level,
be it through using their instruments as weapons for mass annihilation
or through unrelenting, blasphemous lyrics that display their hatred
of religion and all that it stands for. Add death metal Legend Glen Benton
(DEICIDE) to the mix, and you have all the elements of a Nuclear Warhead
waiting to explode on the unsuspecting masses. Very few extreme metal
bands are able to reinvent their musical styles, yet VITAL REMAINS are one
of the few to stand the test of time.The group formed in 1989 in Providence,
RI, and after recording two demos, they signed to Peaceville's subsidiary
Deaf Records. They soon recorded the legendary cult albums Let Us Pray
and Into Cold Darkness, but due to poor distribution and promotion from
the label, the band asked to be let go from the contract. Two years later
they signed a two album deal with French label Osmose Records and
unleashed Forever Underground and Dawn of The Apocalypse.The dark lords
revamped their line-up in 2001 with original member Tony Lazaro on guitars,
Dave Suzuki on bass, drums and lead guitars and Glen Benton on vocals.
They also signed a new deal with Olympic Recordings to unleash Dechristianize,
an album that all other bands in the genre will soon strive to conquer.
This 9-track epic, recorded at Morrissound Studios (Morbid Angel, Six Feet Under)
combines melody with an evil atmosphere and a traditional metal feel,
with no shortage of satanic verses. Lazaro put it best when he described
the new album: "It's got the brutality, but also it's very dynamic and textured.
" The world of extreme metal will soon be rejuvenated as VITAL REMAINS
return to Dechristianize the weak and lay waste to the non-believer!
