Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror \u0026amp; the glory days of death metal from classic bands such as Entombed, Morbid Angel, Cancer \u0026amp; Autopsy, Bloodbath has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their \\u2018Breeding Death\\u2019 EP was unleashed back in 2000, and a formidable force for over 15 years, further cemented by their devastating previous opus, \\u2018Grand Morbid Funeral\\u2019 (2014); a master-class of rotten and punishing death metal. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bloodbath began the recording of their fifth studio album in early 2018, with new guitarist Joakim Karlsson of Swedish black metal cult Craft welcomed into the fold. With an unyielding thirst for the macabre, \\u2018The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn\\u2019, sees the band\\u2019s current direction taking a step into even darker waters. Here, Bloodbath explore the boundaries of extremity, mixing in the best of death, thrash \u0026amp; black metal to create a perfect storm of chaos, delivered with the same ferocious HM-2 buzzsaw sound \u0026amp; relentless riff assault mastered over the years, combined with themes of the occult and pure horror. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joining Bloodbath on the \\u2018Bloodicide\\u2019 track is an unholy choir formed from the diabolical triumvirate of UK death metal legends, namely Jeff Walker from Carcass, John Walker from Cancer, and Karl Willetts from Bolt Thrower. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \\u2018The Arrow of Satan is Drawn\\u2019 was recorded at Ghost Ward, City Of Glass \u0026amp; Tri-Lamb Studios, February - June 2018, \u0026amp; mixed \u0026amp; mastered by Karl Daniel Lid\\xe9n at Tri-Lamb Studios.
