Monstrosity's Brutal Death Metal Return

0:00On March 31st, monstrosity just dropped their first new studio album in eight years, called Screams from Beneath the Surface. Founding drummer and songwriter, Lee Harrison, leads the charge with new singer Ed Wedd for Massacre, returning original bassist, Mark Bann Airp, and guitarist Matt Barnes. It's a brutal, technical death metal returns a form, echoing their peak like the 1996 classic Millennium, kicking off with the epic. Opener banished to the skies. Harrison's been grinding for 36 years without the big breakthroughs of Florida Peers, like Cannibal Corpse or Diazide. Mark Bann Airp jumped back in after filling in for shows from Mexico City to California Death Fest, especially when their previous bassist moved to Ukraine. They've tore together, kept the old school brotherhood tight, and fans love the reunion vibe. Ed Wedd was a light bulb moment suggested by bassist Terry Butler during a tour. Local in Tampa, he knows the scene inside out from Stinson Diabolic and Massacre, nailing the high screens without growing pains.

1:04Some fans split on the melodic twists and tracks like banished to the skies, calling it epic or confusing, but Harrison sees it as true to their sound. With plenty of brutalizers mixed in, Harrison hung a more sound recording for legendary sessions with obituary, suffocation, atheist, and pestilence, even helping pin lyrics for, suffocations pierced from within. He powered through the mid-90s death metal slump by starting his own label, Conquest Music when deals dried up and black metal took over. Monstrosity stands tall as second wave floored at death metal survivors, outlasting many contemporaries while Harrison keeps pushing that technical fury. Forward, this album proves they're still killers in the game. Music news, powered by AI. This is Music News Today.
