INFERION Signs With badGod Music

Blackened death metal act INFERION has inked a deal with badGod Music, home to a diverse array of underground acts such as brutalists NEVER TO ARISE and avant-garde metal entity TRILLION RED. INFERION's badGod debut, This Will Decay, will come in early 2013. More details to come. 

Earlier this year, INFERION self-released The Desolate, along with Aborted by the Sun, which was originally recorded by band mastermind Nick Reyes in 2003, and the Palingenesis EP, which dates back to 2004. 

All three titles and more are available at inferion.bandcamp.com.




Inferion is a Black Metal band from Miami, FL formed in 1996. They began writing raw Black Metal and released their first album Infinite Dying Souls in 1998. In 1999 they released Given to the Ground with a new line-up. The style of this album was low tuned mid paced Death Metal. They distributed it and played shows to support the album. In 2002, The Cursed Path was released with a new line-up. This release was a continuation of the band's original writing style. In 2003 Inferion released Firewar. It was well received among the distros, fans, and college radio stations. It was raw, fast paced Black Metal. Inferion played various noise shows in Europe to promote the album. Frank Gross (ex- Kult ov Azazel) and Armando Martinez (Heaven Ablaze) joined the line-up to rehearse new material and perform live. They began writing new material for The Desolate in 2005 as a four piece. Heaven Ablaze and Inferion released a split in 2005 entitled The Art of Blasphemy. Over the next couple of years, Nick Reyes' other musical obligations as well as his obligation with the Army delayed the release of the album. The Desolatewas released in 2012 along with two other albums Aborted by the Sun and Palingenesis which were written previously but never released.

INFERION Opens the Vault and Unleashes Aborted by the Sun

You may already know of INFERION's The Desolate, the black metal whirlwind from Mr. Everything Nick Reyes. But in 2003 Reyes' recorded an EP of blast-beaten, aggressive melodic death metal called Aborted by the Sun that was recorded under the name Farewell My Angel. The original plan to release the EP was halted after the hard drive with the original mixes/master was damaged in a fire. A recent discovery of those original files led Iraq War veteran Reyes to re-record much of the EP when time permitted during Army Special Forces and Selection Training at Fort Bragg, GA. The EP has now been released under the INFERION banner.

The Story of Aborted by the Sun, as told by Nick Reyes

Aborted by the Sun was originally recorded in 2003 under the band name Farewell my Angel. At the time INFERION had put out the album Firewar that was getting some attention, and since this release was more Death Metal, I was going to release it next, but I was never able to do so because the original mixes and masters were damaged on a hard drive that caught fire. Last year, I was going through my storage unit looking for Army gear to pack for SFAS and I came upon some old CDs and DVDs in the same tough box and among them was a DVD simply titled "ABTSMBU." I put it in the computer and found all the original mixes and masters for the album. 

I re-recorded the bass, drums, and some vocals while I was trying out for the Special Forces, so this album is about determination, and the aggressive pursuit of goals.  Since this album was semi structured, I just had to redo it in the way that I had envisioned it in my head during the selection course. So I based it around the guitars that were already there and tracked everything as soon as I got home a month later.

Inferion to Release Long Awaited Album The Desolate Digitally on January 15th



Inferion to Release Long Awaited Album The Desolate Digitally on January 15th 


Hell will finally arrive on earth on the Lord's Day, January 15, 2012 in the form of INFERION's The Desolate. A face melting assault of traditional black metal, The Desolate is the result of many years of writing and recording in fits in starts and in myriad locations, including Iraq when main man guitarist/drummer/vocalist/composer Nick Reyes was deployed with his U.S. Army Unit. Album recording began back in 2005 when INFERION was a quartet and was finished this past year by Nick with bass work provided by Frank Gross (ex-KULT OV AZAZEL). The wait was well worth it, as The Desolate bleeds malice and is delivered with a fiery passion rarely heard in black metal these days.
