Monstrosity

Monstrosity unleash 'Banished to the Skies' music video

Emerging from the shadowy depths of the extreme metal underground, US death metal band Monstrosity reasserts their unrelenting dominance with their latest opus, 'Screams from beneath the Surface'. This ferocious release showcases the band's signature blend of aggression, technical precision, and intensity. Led by drummer, founder, and primary songwriter Lee Harrison, Monstrosity is reinvigorated with a formidable lineup: long-tenured guitarist Matt Barnes, the triumphant return of original bassist Mark Van Erp, and vocalist Ed Webb, whose guttural, visceral delivery injects electrifying new energy into the band's sound. 'Screams from beneath the Surface' not only solidifies Monstrosity's hallmark death metal ferocity but also pushes the genre's boundaries, forging a path that is both innovative and true to their roots.

1. Banished to the Skies (06:40)

Now the band present new music video for 'Banished to the Skies'. Drummer Lee Harrison wrote the song during the mixing sessions for Monstrosity's previous album, 'The Passage of Existence'. It features dark, melodic sections with Mark Van Erp's basslines standing out distinctly. Intricate hi-hat and ride cymbal patterns blend with Harrison's signature double bass drumming. Matt Barnes' iconic solo kicks off the track, delivering a powerful, crushing dynamic to the song. A killer performance from new vocalist Ed Webb tops off the track. The video for the song was captured in Nashville, Tennessee, by Inferi guitarist Malcolm Pugh.

The album was released last Friday via Metal Blade Records.
