New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Relapse Records) Canada's black/death destroyers WEAPON have made a name for themselves as one of the most crushing new bands to come along in the extreme metal underground over the past few years. After two successful underground LPs, the band announced earlier this year that they had joined forces with Relapse Records and would be recording their third full length offering. Soon after, the band embarked on one of the most evil tours of the year, joining forces with Marduk and 1349.
Now, WEAPON has completed work on their most blasphemous work yet and will release 'Embers and Revelations' on October 9th. The new effort is certainly the band's finest work to date and will find an instant connection to fans of Behemoth, Deicide, Morbid Angel and Septicflesh. You can now witness the band's studio processes through a series of webisodes. To check out episode one, featuring the drum tracking, visit the following link:
WEAPON has already unveiled the album's title track via Pitchfork (https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/14057-embers-and-revelations/) and Relapse has officially launched their pre-orders for the album, which is available in both LP and CD.
WEAPON looks to be on the road for the majority of the coming year so stay tuned for tour dates and more information.
