VASTUM: 20 Buck Spin To Release Debut From Bay Area Death Metal Outfit

Washington-based indie heavyweight 20 Buck Spin has acquired Bay Area death metal outfit VASTUM to their ever-expanding roster for the disbursement of band's debut full-length, Carnal Law, set for worldwide release May 31, 2011. All fans of the darkest and harshest realms of pure old-school Swedish death metal listen up; this one is for you.

While VASTUM are a fairly brand new name to the public, you've just been informed. Hailing from the underground music hotbed of California's notorious Bay Area, the band's sound permeates the most wretched, dehumanizing, true old-school death metal might on Carnal Law. VASTUM's lineup aligns an arsenal of tight-knit musicians with current or past ties to Acephalix, Saros, Amber Asylum, Hammers of Misfortune, Infest and more, but the band's stripped-down, gravedigging attack is more crushing and potent than many contemporary acts flying the death metal banner.

Conceptually, Carnal Law explores themes of sexuality and psychic disfiguration, not in the oft juvenile way associated with underground metal, but in the more cerebral context one finds in the work of Georges Bataille or psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche. Frustration, pain, pleasure, confusion, depravity, death, life and isolation; the lines are blurred. Check out the album art and more here.

Carnal Law Track List:

1. Primal Seduction
 2. Re-Member 
3. Devoid
 4. Umbra Interna
 5. Carnal Law 
6. Spirit Abused

While a newer name to the death metal multiverse, VASTUM sound every bit a twisted, seasoned band well-read in the genre’s strengths and weaknesses, and harness them at will toward their own Law.

Stay tuned for more news on VASTUM over the coming months.

CHRISTIAN MISTRESS Sign To 20 Buck Spin; Premiere Track Via Stereogum

Bursting out of Olympia, Washington come classic metal heathens CHRISTIAN MISTRESS, fueled with pure American heavy metal fire, and ready to dose the planet up with their infectious tunes. This cult buzz band has plenty of support behind them in their infancy; from a supportive local scene that's ready to embrace a local classic heavy metal outfit, to infamous illustrator Dennis Dread, to national publications like NPR who recently praised the band's debut 7", to Darkthrone's outspoken frontman Fenriz, who has name-dropped the band in multiple features over recent months.

20 Buck Spin proudly embraces this act, signing them to the label recently in preparation to release their debut full-length Agony & Opium this August. Bering six infectious, long-burning, classic heavy metal ragers sure to stand out against the label's mainly black/death/doom/sludge-dominated roster. The shredding dual guitar lead trade-offs, performed with the utmost class, never lose sight of memorable songcraft first and foremost. Anchored by a tight, driving rhythm section and the raw and throaty instantly memorable vocal delivery of Christine Davis, the CHRISTIAN MISTRESS sound is immediately familiar and yet sounds like no other heavy metal band currently working, comparable to acts like Angel Witch, Warlock, Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Diamond Head and more.

Stereogum.com today premiered the track "Home In The Sun" from the upcoming Agony & Opium album. Check the feature out at this direct link:
