HeavyHardMetalmania: CARDIAC ARREST To Play Central Illinois Metalfest This Weekend

Tomorrow night (Saturday, July 14th) Chicago death purists CARDIAC ARREST will lay waste to Urbana, IL when they make a triumphant return to this year's Central Illinois Metalfest. A fest favorite in years past, this weekend's performance promises to be something special as the band will be on stage in support of their most recent release, Vortex of Violence.

Their fourth full-length release, Vortex of Violence is "pure, old-school death metal at its finest," according to Meat Mead Metal and Exclaim.ca praised the record for its "bone-crushing aggression, with hammering blast beats, frenzied guitar riffs and guttural vocals that spew horrific, gory lyrics."

Following up the bulldozer that was 2010 s Haven for the Insane, Chicago-based death metal purists Cardiac Arrest are set to return this Spring with their highly-anticipated fourth full album. Aptly titled Vortex of Violence, Cardiac Arrest once again demonstrates what true death metal is all about with a vicious and relentless assault of grinding intensity and neck-snapping aggression. Continually pushing their sound to new levels of extremity and excellence, Vortex of Violence is the mark of a band whose primary goal is to write music that will not only outlive, but absolutely crush any trend that attempts to pollute the genre of death metal. 2012 sees Cardiac Arrest poised to rip the coveted Chicago death metal crown off the head of any and all challengers. The album is available for purchase online here.
