Phoenix, Arizona’s LANDMINE MARATHON’s new album, “Sovereign Descent ,” is a sonic representation of their world: scorched, desolate and angry as hell.
“Sovereign Descent” is the third full length and first proper new release on Prosthetic, who re-released “Rusted Eyes Awake” last year. (“Rusted Eyes Awake,” and their first release, “Wounded,” were released by Level Plane.) The album was recorded at guitarist Ryan Butler’s Arcane Digital Recording Studios, where he’s recorded past efforts from the band, as well as Misery Index, Phobia, The Funeral Pyre and many more. The album was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Converge, Hatebreed, Dillinger Escape Plan) and features cover art by acclaimed artist Dan Seagrave ( Entombed, Dismember, Morbid Angel, Suffocation).
The band commented, “We have put a lot of hard work into writing and recording this album. We all agree that it is some of Landmine's strongest material so far, both musically and lyrically. Ryan really went above and beyond with the recording and mixing process. Having the opportunity to work with two people who we feel are legends; Dan Seagrave and Alan Douches is a huge honor. We look forward to sharing some of the final results soon and even more so playing these songs live on the road! “
Their sound has been described as a death metal/grindcore hybrid, similar to early Earache acts such as Bolt Thrower, Carcass and Napalm Death. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Tragedy, Kylesa, Saviours, Book of Black Earth, Doomrider, Coliseum and many more.
2010 will see the band playing the second annual Scion Rock Fest, Los Angeles Murder Fest and the Prosthetic/Action PR Showcase and the Brooklyn Vegan Day Party at South By Southwest and see them hitting the road with The Funeral Pyre, EyeHateGod and more. The band will be venturing to the UK and Europe for their first full tour in the Summer of 2010!
