“Devouring Mortality”

Special Edition CD digipak with bonus track + sticker set, LP+CD & artwork poster
Jewelcase CD • Digital Album

Release Date: April 13th, 2018

Picking their name from a line in Demolition
Hammer’s ‘Human Dissection’, California’s
SKELETAL REMAINS not only have proven their
exquisite taste in terms of finding the right
moniker, but also musically by combining
influences from Death to Pestilence, from early
Gorguts to Morbid Angel as well as the
aforementioned New York thrash commando.

SKELETAL REMAINS formed as Anthropophagy

back in 2011, and released the two much lauded
studio albums “Beyond The Flesh” (2012) and
“Condemned To Misery” (2015) via German label
FDA Rekotz, constantly toured Europe, the US or
also Japan, performed at such renowned festivals as Maryland Death Fest, Party.San, Brutal
Assault, Obscene Extreme or also Hellfest, and now seek to expand upon that with
“Devouring Mortality”, the first album they will do as a co-release via Century Media Records
and Dark Descent.

Mixed & mastered by Dan Swanö (Opeth, Bloodbath) and featuring impressive art by Dan
Seagrave (Entombed, Suffocation, Dismember), vocalist/guitarist Chris Monroy is extremely
proud of this new opus: “It is a true honor for us to have worked with these two legends, and
we can't wait to share it with all the fans of death metal!”
And there are plenty reasons to be excited about “Devouring Mortality” as the new record
proves to be the band’s most diverse and crushing opus to date and contains a whole lot of
outstanding tracks! No matter if it is the scorching first single ‘Seismic Abyss’, the dynamic
‘Catastrophic Retribution’, ‘Parasitic Horrors’ or ‘Torture Labyrinth’, SKELETAL REMAINS
perfectly blend elements of death and thrash metal with Schuldiner/van Drunen like vocals,
blazing solos uniting influences from such a melodic master like James Murphy (Death,
Cancer, Obituary, Testament) or the dive-bombing assault of Rick Rozz (Death, Massacre),
excellent riffs and more rhythmical variety than most newer “old school” death metal
releases. “The album is basically the next step up for us!”, says Monroy. “It’s a bit more
technical compared to our first two albums and we have also used seven string guitars for
some songs to add a heavier edge at times, but overall it has the same sound and feeling of
our previous releases: Old school death metal from the late 80s and early 90s with a little bit
of our own taste added to it!”
“Devouring Mortality” shows how well SKELETAL REMAINS master the art of not sounding
dated while being old schoolers at heart and is highly recommended to all fans of top notch
death metal!

The album is available as 180 gram vinyl plus CD & poster, Special Edition CD digipak including
a bonus track (a cover of Cancer’s ‘Hung, Drawn And Quartered’) & sticker set, Jewelcase CD,
and on all digital platforms.
