News : LANDMINE MARATHON’s “Sovereign Descent” Out Today

Phoenix, Arizona’s grind-lords, LANDMINE MARATHON’s brand new album, “Sovereign Descent,” hits the streets today! You can order a copy HERE.

The band was also just covered by the New York Times, in the papers review of this past weekend’s Scion Rock Fest, in Columbus, OH. Label-mates TRAP THEM also appeared, along with bands such as SHRINEBUILDER, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DRI, YOB and many more. Check out the coverage and photos, HERE.

“Sovereign Descent” was recorded at guitarist Ryan Butler’s Arcane Digital Recording Studios, where he’s recorded past efforts from the band, as well as Misery Index, Phobia, The Funeral Pyre and many more. The album was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Converge, Hatebreed, Dillinger Escape Plan).

Martinez commented about the recording; “We are beyond stoked and anxiously awaiting the release of ‘Sovereign Descent.’ We feel this is our strongest material to date both in writing and in performance. We cannot wait for fans new and old to hear this album and see the songs performed live on the road.”

LANDMINE MARATHON, whose sound has been compared to early Earache acts such as Bolt Thrower, Carcass, and Napalm Death, released two full lengths on Level Plane, “Wounded” and “Rusted Eyes Awake,” the latter which was reissued by Prosthetic Records and several split releases. Vocalist Grace Perry was recently featured on the cover of Revolver Magazine and is a frequent contributor to their blog. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Tragedy, Kylesa, Saviours, Book of Black Earth, Coliseum and many more and at SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST, next Wednesday.
