The Tides Of Damocles was recorded, mixed and mastered last year at Mana Recording Studios (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Goatwhore, et al) in Tampa, Florida by Brian Elliot and J.J. Hrubovcak. A name referencing the ocean as a metaphor for the forces of life that constantly assail and erode the will of those who seek power, The Tides Of Damocles thrusts forth forty-eight minutes of harrowing, surgically precise death metal mastery.

The band have released the first track, ‘Vsassalplasty’ which can be viewed in the link below. The band comment on the new track.

Tides is and can be viewed in  diverse album, and we felt Vassalplasty is the song with the most immediate impact.- heaviness and aggression mixed with a taste of some of the more psychotropic elements to be found on the rest of the album.  The title is a play on the surgical procedure to straighten a fractured and weakened spine, the lyrical theme is retaining a backbone in the face of circumstances that would cause others to conform, submit or crumple.
