2010 is the year Purified in Blood return with fire. The new album Under Black Skies will always be a milestone representing a fresh start with no genre shackles. Heaven knows the horizon has expanded to the unlimited regarding making music and Under Black Skies is the result of this. Heavier than ever before, these Norwegians are ready to conquer and destroy all that comes in their way. The new album unveils a band that has developed a great deal since their first full-length Reaper of Souls in 2006. Still contributing to the earth warriors out there fighting the iron jaw that eats this world alive, they continue to dethrone injustice with all their strength through their lyrics and apperance.
With the 2006 Alarm Award for best live act freshly in memory Purified in Blood brings brutality to the table every time they enter a stage. No exceptions.
They have shared stages with bands like Slayer, Mastodon, In Flames, Converge and Hatebreed to name a few. Touring US, Europe and Scandinavia multiple times made them the tight and experienced band they are today.
Recording Under Black Skies took place, with producer Ashley Stubbert behind the table, just outside Stavanger, their hometown. With the heavy swells from the North Sea being their nearest neighbor they laid down the tracks that later would be mixed by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Botch) in Seattle, US.
The writing process was inspired by a lot of diverse music. It’s all there in the new album that will be released through heavyweight label Universal.
Regarding 2010, Purified in Blood will once again show the world the heaviness they carry with their presence, be it live or with their upcoming album Under Black Skies.
