War Master Premiere's "Penetrating The Uknown" on Metalunderground.com
Metalunderground.com (https://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=124620) has premiered War Master’s new song “Penetrating The Unknown.” The song is the demo version taken from their “MMXVI” demo. Craig Douglas recorded the album at Origin Sound Studios. Guitars were tracked at the home studio of War Master guitarist, Neal Dossey.
“Penetrating The Unknown” is a churning, mid-paced number reminiscent early Death and Obituary. Some of the guitar harmonies recall the Bolt Thrower-style direction, which past material often found comparison. The vocals are deep and frightening, yet easy to understand.
“To Live Suffices To Conquer” shows the band bring in new members. Neal Dossey (guitar) and R.G. War Minister (vocals) return to the fold. Anthony Contreras (guitars) and Dobber Beverly (drums) are part of the new lineup. Both musicians are known from their bands Demonical Genuflection and Oceans of Slumber. Mat Aleman will play bass on the band’s upcoming European tour.
In the Spring, War Master released “All Light Devoured” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuDJPA_A78I) on their “MMXVI Japan Tour” CD. The track will also appear on their forthcoming LP “To Live Suffices To Conquer.”
Neal Dossey comments on their new material:
“We chose this song because I think it’s more of what people are used to. A lot of the new material is pretty different from what people are used to hearing from us. It’s with a different lineup and We haven’t put anything out in a while. “Penetrating The Unknown” is more of that mid-paced sound that the older material sounds like. Dobber brings drums to a whole new level. We've picked up pace to some pretty intense speeds at times as well as slowing down to very sludge heavy grooves. Overall, the album is a lot more dynamic. Anthony is a brilliant guitar player. He really had some cool ideas for some atmospheric stuff with his leads and everything he did with his guitar. It’s definitely new and different.”
War Master is gearing up for a European tour with Japanese grinders, Palm. War Master and Insect Warfare are scheduled to play Obscene Extreme Festival in the Czech Republic. War Master members Rahi “R.G. Warminister” Geramifer and Dobber Beverly, will be playing with Insect Warfare on Friday July 15th and War Master plays the 16th.
