> TRANSGRESSION BITS 'N' BOBS
Plymouth bruisers ‘Transgression’ serve up a thunderous debut offering, in the shape of their blistering EP ‘As Tides Change’, out on 8th November 2010 through all good digital outlets.
Through savage live shows and dynamic drive, the freshly-formed five piece have quickly ascended the ranks in the British metal scene. Transgression are everything a true metal band should be: intense, heavy, brutal and utterly uncompromising.
Since their inception at the tail end of 2009, the ferocious South-westerners have gained a notable following throughout the UK and Europe. Along the way, they have racked up impressive supports with the likes of Trigger The Bloodshed, Viatrophy, Dragged into Sunlight, and many more. Never ones to rest on their laurels, the hotly-tipped unit have just been announced as guests for the ‘Breed 77’ / ‘The Defiled’ UK tour, scheduled for this September; and to cap it all, the Devonshire metallers have just inked a deal with hip-indie label ‘Rising Records’ (home to The Morning After and Exhibit A, to name just a few). This union will see the rising bruisers unleash their debut album during the early part of 2011.
To coincide with the Breed 77 tour, Transgression release their fully fledged debut EP, "As Tides Change" on 8th November. The EP is the follow up to the band’s hugely promising "Escape The Plagues" demo, which amassed sturdy support from the UK underground metal scene and galvanised momentum for the quintet. Their pristine “As Tides Change” EP is a blistering debut that is a real demonstration of full blooded fury; the record literally has enough power and precision to tear your face off at 10 paces! Right from the pounding guitars and intervening deep-roaring growls of ‘Promises’, through to the colourful guitar structures of ‘As Tides Change’, the band have orchestrated a beautifully brutal record. Transgression are now all primed to rigorously rattle your eardrums. You have been duly warned!

> BASTARD PRIEST OUT NOW

Disturbingly obscene, hateful and hellish; this is BASTARD PRIEST. There is no compromise.
