Shards Of Humanity: Fractured Frequencies (Unspeakable Axe Records Release: 16 September 2014)

-- Below is the official propaganda statement from the dissemination bureau for anticipation fomentation.

Both their band name and album title bring to mind shattered glass and razor-sharp edges. That is perfect imagery for the Memphis-based 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 album, "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. It will be in stores everywhere on September 16, 2014.
