BAY AREA DEATH METAL ALL-STARS DETH PROVIDER RE-LAUNCH SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM DIGITALLY VIA HECTIC RECORDS / BLEEDING PRIEST RECORDS

For Fans Of: Entombed, Obituary, Old School Death Metal

The Bay Area has long been a breeding ground for some of the most influential and uncompromising metal on the planet. Now, a new death metal force forged from that legendary scene is bringing together a devastating collection of musicians with Deth Provider , the self-titled debut album from a true Bay Area death metal collective.

Originally released on vinyl June 19, 2026 through Hectic Records / Bleeding Priest Records , Deth Provider is now being re-launched digitally, giving metal fans worldwide the chance to experience this crushing collaboration of old school death metal brutality, groove, and atmosphere.

Born from the riffs of rhythm guitarist and songwriter Kenneth Dutton , Deth Provider began in 2024 when a collection of raw, phone-recorded ideas evolved into something much bigger. Dutton recruited Herman Bandala and Chris Corona of Molten to help bring the songs to life, but the search for the right drummer led to a legendary addition: Will Carroll of Death Angel .

What started as three songs quickly expanded into a nine-track death metal assault, with Carroll’s powerful double bass work providing the foundation needed to unleash Dutton’s crushing riffs.

From there, Deth Provider evolved into a Bay Area death metal supergroup featuring an impressive roster of scene veterans and rising forces. The band invited some of the region’s most respected musicians to contribute vocals, guitars, and solos, creating a unique collaboration that celebrates the history and future of Bay Area extreme metal.

The album features contributions from:

Will Carroll (Death Angel) – Drums
Herman Bandala (Molten) – Bass
Chris Corona (Molten) – Guitar Solos, Production, Recording, Cover Art
Kenneth Dutton – Rhythm Guitar, Songwriting
Brandon Bristol (Molten) – Vocals
Dave Gorsuch (Insanity) – Vocals, Guitar Solos
Matt Harvey (Exhumed) – Vocals, Guitar Solos
Andre Cornejo (Deathgrave) – Vocals
Andrew Lee (Ripped to Shreds) – Guitar Solos
Sonny Reinhardt (Necrot) – Guitar Solos

Rather than functioning as a traditional band lineup, Deth Provider embraced the idea of a Bay Area death metal gathering, splitting the album’s nine tracks among the various contributors and allowing each musician to bring their own signature sound to the project.

The result is a filthy, riff-driven death metal record rooted in the traditions of the genre while showcasing the personalities of some of the Bay Area’s most respected extreme metal musicians.

The name Deth Provider itself comes from an unlikely source. During an appearance on Zetro’s Toxic Vault , Forbidden bassist Matt Camacho discussed his former occupation as a caretaker and referred to himself as a “death provider.” Host Steve “Zetro” Sousa suggested it would make a great band name, and Kenneth Dutton knew he had found the perfect title.

Recorded and mixed by Chris Corona at Secret Studios in San Francisco, CA , and mastered by Justin Weis at S.S.F. , the self-titled debut features artwork created by Chris Corona, with insert design by Dave Gorsuch and jacket and label designs by Hectic Records.
