MURDER RECORDS Proudly Announces:

Left-hand blast. The path to grind!

Coming from the last century and having more than three decades in their back spine, a long road has been carved by these Germanic veterans. Going back to 89, DEPRESSION has been doing it all and getting the right credits for it serving as a reference in the world grindcore scene as their historical and contemporary fellow mates Blood, Dead, Gut, and last but not least Cock And Ball Torture.

This handful of artists even might be the winning hand that represents the best extreme bands hailing from the Teutonic metal scene ever. DEPRESSION clearly shows no signs of erosion and an unstoppable will to keep their music as they like and want. Simplicity results for them as a ferocious and deadly mass destructive weapon that shouldn’t be ignored.

Heading up for their 6th studio album among countless other releases, DEPRESSION continues to smash our faces to oblivion. Indeed the new opus “Ära der Finsternis” marks their return to their best shape, confirming all said before. The new songs are heavy and groovy Death/Grind but also desperate and morbid pushing us back and forth, testing our limits, surveilling our sanity, and driving us to ecstasy. The final flavor you get is beastly and mouth spilling gore is guaranteed.

It’s great to have bands like DEPRESSION around doing what they do and standing for their principles. For this matter “Ära der Finsternis” is a newly written page for them and another one that will be rooted in the history of groovy Death/Grind...

lyrics

A HAUNTED SOUL

A haunted soul I am
Pull me under water and still I breathe
But this way it will not end
I often lived through days like these

I will always feel the misery
Which is brought by the touch of you
You're so real, no god damn mystery
More certain than I ever knew

Hello darkness, my old friend
Now it's time we meet again
Ol' sadness, you're still a part of me
Misery won't ever set me free

There's no shadow without light
Nor a day without the night
There will be no life without death
No living without the dead

Death is certain!

In the midst of life
we are surrounded by death
From the cradle
until our final breath

Life is a gift only death can grand
Lifetime just rushes me by
Like sand slipping through my hands
Since birth the end is nigh
