Long-running deathcore unit Impending Doom has released their anticipated Hellbent EP. The surprise release, initially slated for January, is available via MNRK Heavy on CD, LP, cassette, and digitally.
Hellbent boasts the enduring trio who formed the creative core of Impending Doom in Riverside, California. Recorded with engineer Joseph Calleiro at Dungeon by the Sea in Los Angeles and mixed by longtime band collaborator Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside, Thy Art Is Murder), the EP is a fierce five-song blast of readily identifiable Impending Doom brutality, with just enough of a modern flourish.
As reliably as ever, the band endeavors to bring woe with crushing heaviness, sick death metal and grindcore riffage, impossibly guttural growls, and steadfast reverence for God. The EP also comes adorned with the arresting cover art of Jim Pavelec, an illustrator specializing in the occult, sci-fi, horror, and fantasy, including pieces for classic RPG Dungeons & Dragons.
Hellbent is out now and available for purchase. The band will also return to the touring circuit with shows confirmed in California and Texas. More dates will be announced soon.
