DREAMING DEAD: California Death Metallers To Unleash New Full-Length Artwork And Track Listing Revealed

California death metal trio DREAMING DEAD are readying to unleash their long-awaited new full-length entitled Midnightmares. The follow-up to their 2009 Within One opus, was recorded from June through September of this year. All guitars and bass were tracked at the band's own studio in downtown Los Angeles while the drums and vocals were tracked at Architeuthis Sound, (where Midnightmares was also mixed). The final product is nothing short of immense.Midnightmares offers up nine tracks of crushingly elaborate death metal anthems as led by band leader, vocalist and guitar priestess, Elizabeth Schall.

DREAMING DEAD have continued their ascent to the mightiest of metal's ranks with their sophomore release, Midnightmares.  Retaining many of the extreme metal elements of Within One,Midnightmares showcases a more refined DREAMING DEAD, playing with greater precision and offering an even deeper and more provocative musical experience. 

As an added bonus, Midnightmares features cover art by renown metal artists Travis Smith, known for his striking work on records from Death, Sadus, Katatonia, Opeth, King Diamond and so many others. Check it out HERE or below.

Commented Schall and Mike Caffell (drums, vocals), of the release: "With Midnightmares, we wanted to record an album based around the concepts of night and, obviously, nightmares. We shaped our lyrics as such, and wrote music to capture both the violent, chaotic nature of dreams and the quiet tranquility of the night. We also crafted the album to flow as a whole, symbolizing the progression of an evening into night, and then into dawn; as if the songs couldn't exist without one another. And, yes, we’re still bringing the speed and brutality."

2. Corpse Mountain

3. Overlord

4. Exile

5. In Memoriam

Fronted and founded by Elizabeth Schall, DREAMING DEAD released their first recording,Through The Eyes Of Insanity, in 2006 under previous band moniker Manslaughter. Influenced by the likes of Death, Slayer, Cryptopsy and Opeth, reviews for the release were stellar, leaving listeners aching for more of the band's blackened, death-thrash attack. "Impressive," "devastating," "technically precise" and "great debut" are not terms to be thrown around lightly.Within One was met with similar accolades. About.com called the record, "sometimes extreme, sometimes delicate and usually compelling," while Blabbermouth noted: “DREAMING DEADare on; it's easy to see world domination in their future.” Metal Maniacs agreed calling Within One, "...a smattering of classic US DM stylings and high-velocity thrash, set the tune of Schall's scathing vocals and surprisingly agile guitar runs."

Elizabeth Schall - Vocals/Guitars

Juan Ramirez - Bass
