Unspeakable Axe Records is now streaming Fractured Frequencies, the debut full-length from Memphis-based SHARDS OF HUMANITY, in full at Bandcamp.com.
The album is set for worldwide release on September 2, with pre-orders, previews and digital downloads available now at:
Both their band name and album title bring to mind shattered glass and razor-sharp edges. That is perfect imagery for SHARDS OF HUMANITY. They play raw-yet-technically adept death/thrash, influenced by mid-period Death, Sadus, Massacra, Pestilence and other scorching bands with a foot in two related spheres of metal. Yet their sound is unmistakably their own as well, not overly beholden to any one influence or era. Having started as just a two piece, with a drummer and guitarist-slash-vocalist, they were blazing their own trail from the very outset. Now, even with a third member added to beef up their guitar assault, SHARDS OF HUMANITY is still more likely to slash through the crowd than to submerge into it.
SHARDS OF HUMANITY self-released an EP in 2012. Now they will follow that up with their debut full-length, Fractured Frequencies, consisting of seven songs of exhilarating, annihilating, philosophically bent thrash and death metal. Unspeakable Axe Records is proud to deliver this gem from the underground.
