Eye of the Destroyer’s critically acclaimed album Baptized
in Pain is
coming to Europe and Japan with a brand new
international exclusive. Their
breakout record will be re-released as a six panel digipak
through Filled
With Hate Records - a German label that has released
carefully curated New
Jersey hardcore
heavyweights such as NJ Bloodline and Fury of Five. This
re-release includes a cover of Nirvana’s “Breed” that has
been getting
heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal. This rare album
that Metal
Injection gave a nine out of ten can also be found stateside
at any Eye of
the Destroyer show, but quantities will be limited.
Frontman Joe Randazza says, "We could not be more
excited about releasing
this record in Europe and Japan. The band put so much work
into making this
album and the feedback so far has been incredible! Can't
wait for our
friends overseas to be able to get their hands on it."
About the Album
Baptized in Pain is the sixth release and second full length
from diverse
New Jersey Metal group Eye of the Destroyer. Though it has
been a long
time coming, this album feels fresh and new. With a lineup
change featuring
former drummer Joe Randazza making the move to vocals and
John Scott, a
well known veteran of the New Jersey music scene on drums, Eye of the
Destroyer is stronger and more raw than ever.
Leaning into the band’s symbolic rebirth, Baptized in Pain
makes its
debut on the weekend of the Scorpio Full Moon, May 17th.
This album
contains a visceral mix of classic death metal rooted in
hardcore,
harrowing lyrics about the plague of humanity, and good old
fashioned north
Jersey grit.
Baptized in Pain was recorded at Dome Studios, a historic New Jersey
hardcore gem that has also hosted the likes of E-Town
Concrete, Agents of
Man, One4One, and NJ Bloodline. It was mixed and mastered by
Keegan
Okazaki of Nocturnal Audio, a young and hungry upcoming
sound engineer
from Toronto,
Canada. Eye of
the Destroyer is forging their own path by
releasing the album stateside through homegrown High Potency
Productions and
overseas via Filled With Hate Records. This rough group of
scene
underdogs come together on Baptized in Pain to make this
release the
hard-hitting wild card of 2019.
Eye of the Destroyer is Joe Randazza, Chris Halpin, Dan
Kaufman, and John
Scott, and they’ve made it clear that they’re not going
anywhere.
