FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Then We Died Unleashes “Broken Skull Opera” – A Ferocious Throwback to 90s-Era Grindcore, Death, and Black Metal

Coming May 21st via CDN Records

LOUISVILLE, KY — Prepare for a punishing blast of raw aggression and old-school extremity as Then We Died erupts onto the underground metal scene with their savage debut album, Broken Skull Opera, out May 21st through CDN Records.

A guttural scream from the grave of 90s underground metal, Broken Skull Opera channels the spirit and savagery of legends like Repulsion, Asphyx, and Impaled Nazarene. This is no polished, modern metal – this is pure, unfiltered brutality that harks back to the glory days of grind, death, and black metal's most menacing forms.

Then We Died is a Louisville-based supergroup comprised of extreme metal veterans:

Stevo (Impetigo, Surgikill) – vocals

Mike May (Sinistrum, Abominant) – bass

Jim Higgins (Abominant, Assisting Sorrow) – drums

Jerry Barksdale (The Promise Of Plague, Empyrean Asunder) – guitars

Featuring Chris Leffler (Stonecutters, Assisting Sorrow) – guest guitars

From the grind-fueled chaos of “Scenes From A Macabre Landfill” to the eerie, blood-soaked groove of “Face Down in the Mud Covered in Blood,” Broken Skull Opera delivers relentless riffs, pummeling rhythms, and bloodcurdling vocals that bleed authenticity. Each track is a violent homage to a time when metal was dangerous, ugly, and gloriously underground.

Fans of the early extreme metal movement, rejoice. This one’s for you.
