New Skeletal Faces "Until The Night" LP - Official New Skeletal Faces release - Limited edition "Starlight" vinyl variant (only 500 made) - Dust jacket features gold foil lettering, includes 12" x 24" folded poster, and a printed inner sleeve with lyrics It’s been 7 years since New Skeletal Faces arrived on our planet and embedded themselves in the seedy outlying corners of the Southern Californian music scene. Formed in 2017 New Skeletal Faces present themselves as a cosmic abomination that tote the genre lines between all manners of darkness in music. With an aesthetic as sketchy as their sound, NSF cast the black light onto the long dormant corpse of Deathrock, shattering the mirror of modern Heavy Metal into fragments that reflect back a fresh new take on a sound that time was never told to forget. It’s been with us all along, this darkness… the world can now pretend it always knew. Their Peaceville debut “Until The Night” further pushes towards the darkest crevices imaginable. Recorded in the shadowy recesses of Hollywood, California, it was tracked, mixed and mastered by producer/engineer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, Wasp, DRI) and has a sound authentic to dark periods of the past bringing you 7 new haunted tracks as well as a reimagined take on Bathory’s “Raise The Dead”. Of the recording Bill Metoyer said “It was a pleasure working with New Skeletal Faces. A band who not only chose to NOT follow recent songwriting trends that so many other newer metal bands seem to do nowadays, but also the trends in the SOUND of their record. They prefer to sound more old school metal than what most newer metal bands seem to lean towards as of late.” New Skeletal Faces are like listening to the 1980s Sunset Strip through a dirty filter now blackened with the soot of bands like Bathory and Midnight along with the uneasy savagery of Watain as well as the dark romanticism of deathrock bands such as Christian Death and 45 Grave. This Fall, experience the re-genesis of Southern Californian Metal and Deathrock.
