The Obscene

THE OBSCENE once again entered White Wolf Studios to complete work on THE TORMENT OF SINERS E.P. Having recruited Tom (Puked Obesceneties) it was decided he should lay vocals over what Garry had already done. Needless to say, this as awn excellent decision. THE OBSCENE spent one day laying down vocals for all six tracks as well as making minor adjustements to the drum sound. The E.P. has turned out better than expected and THE OBSCENE are looking forward to unleashing the obscenity to extreme metallers everywhere!

Pest Records is proud to announce that UK Old-School Death Metallers THE OBSCENE is now on our roster!
Formed from the ashes of Salute To The Sun and Nebula Rising, The Obscene is ready to storm the Death Metal scene with their debut EP called "The Torment of Sinners” scheduled to be out in February – March 2010! Beware, 6 tormenting tracks to obliterate the weak!
To spice this even more, Pest Records will release "The Torment of Sinners” with a special bonus for all sickos out there, Salute To The Sun’s 2008 EP "Destroying the Heavens”, very well received by the underground press at that time! Definitely one of the most sinister releases to start the year with!

Tracklist:
1. The Storm to Come (intro)
2. Embrace Oblivion
3. Grim Discovery
4. Beyond the Hold of God
5. Skiprat Jane
6. The Final Silence

THE OBSCENE are making preparations to release a new video to coincide with the release of the e.p. THE TORMENT OF SINNERS. The video will be for the track THE FINAL SILENCE, an all out brutal affair with the video set to feature some truly obscene imagery - BE PREPARED!!!!

Master CD for THE TORMENT OF SINNERS e.p. finally arrived today. Sounds absolutley crushing, new vocals and the slight changes we made have made all the difference - brutal stuff!! PEST RECORDS will be releasing this early 2011 - HORNS HIGH to Ian (the dots!!) @ White Wolf Recording for his efforts, and for putting up with us (changing things, then chnging them back, then adding something...you know what its like!!!)

Early 2011 should be a busy time for us. THE TORMENT OF SINNERS e.p. will finally be released, shirts will be available and we will finally put plans into place to start gigging. We are going to resume rehersals in early Jaunary, get a set list sorted, rehearse it to death, then let people see / hear what we can do. Hopefully one of our firsts gigs will be at the TERRORIZER MAGAZINE sponsered 'GRINDHOUSE' night at Durham City, our home town!!!

We have posted an updated version of the video for EMBRACE OBLIVION. It features new vocals by tom (puked obsceneties) and updated production and imagery. The new audio track is the finished version which will be featured on THE TORMENT OF SINNERS e.p so the video also acts as a 'teaser' for the release of the e.p. We have kept the old version up merely as a comparison, as we believe the new version is a big improvement all round. Go check it out and let us know what you think!!

Master cd's have finally arrived at PEST RECORDS. Artwork is currently being sortd out, as well as a cool layout for the cd. As soon as a design and artwork have been finalised, we will let everyone see what we have chosen - will be good, we can promise that!!!!
