War Metal Battle Master was recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Unearthly Trance, Venomous Concept) and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer member).
The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of the previous album: The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an executioner. Vocals are mercilessly hateful and compellingly ugly, bordering on the death roars of Obituary’s John Tardy and the gluttoral rolls of Abbatt of Immortal… this surely is the sound of a very savage war.
In standard Southern Lord fashion the packaging of this album is epic…featuring illustrations by Jeremy Mohlerand and layout by Seldon Hunt.
The CD also contains a 20 page booklet with graphic illustrations for each song.
