Official press release:
Emerging from the industrial shadows of Dayton, Ohio in 2008, Bringers of Disease forged a singular path through the metal underground with a venomous blend of unholy rhythms and crushing intensity. Originally conceived by members of Acheron and Mouth of the Architect, the band’s inception turned heads due to its unusual fusion of backgrounds, melding primitive death metal with atmospheric undertones that defied easy categorization.
Their debut EP, Gospel Of Pestilence (2011, Translation Loss Records), introduced Bringers of Disease as a force of unrelenting sonic blasphemy. Across four tracks of raw tremolo-picked assault, the EP captured a grim vision of the USBM movement that resonated with fans of both classic Scandinavian influences and American extreme music. The record was noted for its bone-chilling riffing, a testament to the band’s commitment to uncompromising ferocity.
After more than a decade of dormancy, the Bringers of Disease crew returns with renewed purpose and a formidable lineup. Founding guitarist Jason Phillips (Acheron) and original vocalist Logan Madison lead the charge alongside returning member, Jeff Wilson (Chrome Waves, ex-Nachtmystium, ex-Wolvhammer). They are joined by powerhouse drummer Zack Simmons (Goatwhore, Acid Bath) and bassist Jon Woodring (Usurper, Bones), completing a lineup steeped in metal pedigree and feral intensity. Fueled by a legacy built on raw aggression and occult fervor, with Sulphur, the cult is poised to unleash a new era of devastation, reaffirming their place in the pantheon of extreme metal’s most relentless practitioners.
Sulphur was engineered by the band, mixed and mastered by Jeff Wilson, and completed with cover art by Rio Oka and layout by Jeff Wilson. The album also features guest guitars on “First Born of the Dead” by Nate Garnett (Skeletonwitch) and on “Flowers Bloom From The Prophet’s Skull” by Sonny Reinhardt (Necrot), and guest vocals on “Sacred Heart of the Abyss” by Ben Falgoust (Goatwhore, Soilent Green).
Jeff Wilson states:
“Back in 2010, I found myself out of my full-time band, my long-term relationship, and my home within the span of a few days, all while on tour in Europe… Jason was the only person kind enough to give me a place to stay while I got back on my feet. We recorded the first Bringers of Disease demo during that time. I’m glad to see myself back in it fifteen years later, helping take the band to a new level. What a wild trip it’s been.”
Sulphur will be released on April 24th, on LP and digitally via Disorder Recordings. Preorders are posted HERE. So Below Productions will be releasing a cassette version, available for preorder HERE.
