Stream KOMMAND’s “Global Death” HERE.
Los Angeles, California savage death metal quintet KOMMAND today issues “Global Death,” the second single preceding their dehumanizing second album, Death Age. The album is approaching its global release late this month on 20 Buck Spin.
The follow-up to their debut LP Terrorscape, released in 2020 via Maggot Stomp, Death Age maintains the armed to the teeth savage militancy of earlier material from KOMMAND,
now taken even further into enemy territory with more grisly wartorn
brutality than ever. Like the coordinated bombardment of an entire
continent, Death Age is an air raid siren for imminent cataclysm.
The ominous atmosphere on Death Age
heralds the single-minded concentrated objective; to batter, demolish,
and destroy with no quarter given. Death metal of this kind taps into
the most primitive, untamed instincts, advancing like a convoy of tanks
through occupied territory, heedless of whatever or whoever stands in
its path. From opener “Final Virus” to closer “Collapse Metropolis,” KOMMAND’s
vision of a dystopian hellscape, cities permanently scarred by heavy
weaponry, and those unfortunates who survived the onslaught never
relents or offers respite. Death Age thus renders a terminal epitaph on the bloody trash heap of near-future history.
Death Age was
recorded by Mike Kriebel with additional recording by Andrew Oswald at
Paradise Records, mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Dream Unending,
Gravesend, Daeva), and completed with photography by Kris Kirk and
artwork by Bharatadanu. Guaranteed to be one of the year’s most
decimating releases, Death Age is
detrimental listening for followers of Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Acephalix,
Vastum, Hail Of Bullets, Stormcrow, Hellshock, and Sanctum.
With
the release of the album’s title track, vocalist Jesse Sanes offers,
“We chose this song because it’s slightly different than what we
normally do. It’s about a parasitic elite gutting an entire planet.”
