Transcending Obscurity Records signs THE SLOW DEATH from Australia playing atmospheric death/doom

By Kunal Choksi

Our first signing was of an Australian band, The Dead, and we’re happy to still get good support from that country. Other Australian releases that are scheduled currently for an early/mid 2017 include ones by The Furor (Perth) and Norse (Sydney). While other signings are yet to be revealed, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to put out The Slow Death‘s new album.

Band lineup:
Stuart Prickett (Illimitable Dolor, Horrisonous) – Lead & Rhythm Guitars, keyboards
Brett Campbell (Pallbearer) – Lead Guitar
Mandy Andresen (Murkrat, Crone) – Vocals & Keyboards
Yonn McLaughlin (Nazxul) – Drums
Dan Garcia (Charting The Depths Of Despair) – Bass
Gamaliel (Oracle Of The Void) – Vocals

Kunal Choksi states, “I’ve been a fan of The Slow Death since their self-titled debut. It reminded me of a more morbid version of Mournful Congregation and Mandy’s trademark vocals only added a sickening, gloomy air to the funeral-esque proceedings. The Slow Death have matured terrifically over the years and have become even more emotionally expressive and atmospheric. I’ve been in touch with Stuart since a while now and it’s an honour to work with him for the release of The Slow Death‘s upcoming full length.”

Stuart Prickett adds, “I am happy that we will be releasing our next album through Transcending Obscurity Records. I have been in contact with Kunal for while now and have been impressed by his drive and dedication to the label and by the impressive acts he has been signing and it is an honour to become part of that. Our fourth full length is nearing completion for an early 2017 release and is another concept album of epic, heav, atmospheric doom. It shall be the first album to feature our new vocalist Gamaliel, who joins Mandy, Yonn, Dan, Brett and myself after the tragic passing of our previous vocalist and good friend Gregg Williamson. It has elements of all our previous releases and i’m sure fans of The Slow Death will also love this new material! I am very proud of what we have accomplished.”
