Los Angeles, CA…On May 7, Deadline
Music (a subsidiary of Cleopatra Records) will release CRUCIFIED by M:Pire of
Evil, the thrash metal project by former Venom members Mantas (guitar), Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan
(vocals, bass), and ex-Throwdown drummer JXN.
CRUCIFIED bulldozes
through eleven tracks (including nine Venom favorites from the PRIME EVIL era),
opening with the driving “Temples of Ice”
and not taking its foot off the gas through the closing beast, “Taking It
All” (which includes the perfect anti- chant).
The riffs are dense and mighty, rhythms propulsive, and the vocals
relentlessly intense. The record takes
on dystopian themes of destruction, evil, and corruption and in the case of
pointed tracks like “Blackened Are The Priests,” all
three.
In 1979, guitarist Jeff
Dunn took on the name Mantas and created a musical entity that would inspire an
entire subgenre of metal. Venom combined
dark, heavy and loud with a proficiency that created history with two records,
WELCOME TO HELL and BLACK METAL, that are considered the gold standard of
thrash. Built on this foundation, M:Pire
of Evil formed in the U.K. in 2010.
Their debut record displayed musical integrity and prowess befitting of
the legacy. CRUCIFIED, MoE’s second
full-length record, continues that legacy.
