Symphonic death metal unit/recent Unique Leader signees THE CONVALESCENCE will release their This Is Hell full-length via Unique Leader Records on September 1st. The ten-track offering was produced by John Burke (Forever In Terror, Captain Kid, etc.), at Vibe Studios, mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy, Despised Icon, Beyond Creation, etc.) at The Grid and comes wrapped in the macabre cover art of Coki Greenway.
Issues the band of the upcoming release, "We recently signed with Unique Leader Records to help us deliver our heaviest and darkest album yet with This Is Hell. We believe this is by far our best work and the strongest lineup of musicians we have ever had. This album has a lot more of a death metal feel to it than Poison Words and The Process but it's still got THE CONVALESCENCE sound with symphonic melodies from Katie [McCrimmon] on keys and plenty of slamming breakdowns."
This Is Hell Track Listing:
1. Scum
2. No Way Out
3. I Won't Survive
4. Murder Machine
5. Burn
6. There Will Be Blood
7. Alone
8. This Is Hell
9. With No Hope
10. The World Infested
THE CONVALESCENCE has spent much of the year since completing the album road-bound with treks that have included both legs of The Resistance Tour with Otep [which was recently cut short] and The Brotherhood Of The Snake Tour with Testament, Sepultura, and Prong. In conjunction with the release of This Is Hell, the band will join The Blood Stained Earth North American tour featuring UK-based metal icons Venom Inc., New Orleans' blackened death thrash legion Goatwhore, and Portland punk thrashers Toxic Holocaust.
