One of the best bands at the moment truly representing all that is British and Metal is due to be release their debut album with Transcend Music, on November 28th 2011.
After the success of their 3-track EP released earlier this year, ELIMINATION took to the road supporting Evile on their UK Tour and have since been committed to writing and recording and the result is one giant ball of British Steel forged in Middle Earth:
“THE BLOOD OF TITANS demonstrates a definite progression in terms of both our songwriting and musicianship from our last record. This has been helped to no end by the amount of shows we’ve played together, and the intense rehearsing, and writing schedule we’ve had over the past year” says guitarist Dave Spicer, “The sound on this record is much more refined, and totally representative of where Elimination are right now.”
THE BLOOD OF TITANS has progressed beyond the confinements of their previous ‘Thrash‘ tag; embracing melodic interventions and a heightened dynamism, they have now outgrown the predictable content of Thrash.
Normally, in avoiding their fate, most bands fall into the path of a hyper-clinical ‘modern’ sound, but Elimination have remained true to their musicianship and songwriting skills and turned their attention instead to the production:
“The production on this album is more akin to records like ‘Clayman’ and ‘Slaughter of the Soul’. We spent a lot more time in the studio with this record, and we think that it really shows. There has been a lot more care put into the making of this record, both by the band and James Dunkley, who engineered, mixed and produced this album.”
THE BLOOD OF TITANS is mature in every sense of the word; The messages are consistent and the delivery is confident.
It knows what it wants to do, it know what it wants to say and it knows exactly how to achieve both.
Fact.
“This album is an absolute belter… guitars thrash and pound and the rhythm section bangs away like a Red-neck gun nut who has a new assault rifle for Christmas… a superb build up that wouldn’t be out of place on an Iron Maiden album and album closer Claustrophobia, comes over like Painkiller-era Judas Priest on a Slayer trip.
“Elimination have in essence taken all the very best bits of Heavy Metal I have grown to love over the past 30 years and blended it into one glorious sound that manages to be both timeless and bang up-to-date at the same time… this album represents all that is good about the UK metal scene of the past 30 years or so and not only will it satisfy Metalheads of past generations, it will enlighten the young of today into all that the UK Metal scene has to offer. Buy Or Die!!”[Jonathan Wiseby, Sunday Rock Show]
“Proper Metal with some proper old school headbanging riffs. If you like proper Heavy Metal in with your Thrash then Elimination are well worth checking out.”
