California’s extreme death metal outfit, Abscess, has unleashed its latest spawn of punk infused metal, 'Dawn of Inhumanity,' in the US today, courtesy of Peaceville Records. 'Dawn of Inhumanity' is the band’s sixth full-length studio album, since recording their first demos in 1994. “Bursting through the boundaries of brutality, Abscess surpasses all previous efforts and presents a death metal masterpiece filled with insanity, violence, and mind blowing savagery,” states Abscess drummer/vocalist, Chris Reifert.

The track list for 'Dawn of Inhumanity' is:

01. Goddess of Filth and Plague
02. Torn from Tomorrow
03. Never Sane Again
04. Dawn of Inhumanity
05. The Rotting Land
06. Dead Haze
07. What Have We Done to Ourselves?
08. Dark Side of a Broken Knife
09. Divine Architect of Disaster
10. Black Winds of Oblivion

Featuring former members of legendary bands Autopsy and Death, Abscess hails from Oakland California, joining together in 1994 to start their very own brand of “sickodelia”. They released their first studio album, 'Seminal Vampires and Maggot Men,' in 1996.

'Dawn of Inhumanity' was recorded at the famous Fantasy Studios, CA in October 2009, with experienced engineer Adam Munoz helping to produce this latest effort. The result is an unrivaled nightmare of raw experimental extremity. Including special guest vocal appearances by the Darkthrone duo, Nocturne Culto & Fenriz, this is twisted, dirty punk death without limits.

The cover art for 'Dawn of Inhumanity' was produced by top artist, Dennis Dread (Darkthrone, Autopsy), with booklet art courtesy of Abscess’s own Chris Reifert (drums, vocals).

'Dawn of Inhumanity' also marks the final release of Darkthrone’s Tyrant Syndicate Productions, sub-label of Peaceville Records. A mini-site featuring audio samples, album info, plus an exclusive interview with the band concerning all things dark and metal can be accessed at THIS LINK.
