In the last few years, Pennsylvania has proven itself to be a hotbed of Progressive Death Metal activity with rising stars Rivers of Nihil, Black Crown Initiate, Alustrium, and Burial In The Sky all converging towards separate yet similarly ambitious takes on the genre. Count West Chester, Pennsylvania newcomers The World Without Us in as yet another group from the state also pursuing a multi-faceted fresh spin on Progressive Death Metal. In particular, The World Without Us set themselves apart by cultivating a sound that blends the best of Between The Buried And Me and Protest The Hero‘s take on genre-bending progressive death metal with modern strains of Heavy, groovy, and often uplifting Modern Progressive Metal inspired by Periphery, and The Contortionist.
Active since 2018, The World Without Us are a fairly new group, one that has taken their time spread across the last few years in order to create their impressive debut material, “Body Forth.” Set for release on Friday, July 8th. The release was recorded, mixed, and mastered by former Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Kevin Antreassian at Backroom Studios in New Jersey. The eye-popping cover art for “Body Forth” was created by Poison Project who has created art for the beloved ongoing trading card game Magic The Gathering as well. “Body Forth” also features Burial In The Sky/sax for Rivers of Nihil member Zach Strouse on session bass. With additional bass guitar work written on three tracks by Cognitive (Metal Blade Records) bassist Tyler Capone-Vitale.
The World Without Us “Body Forth” will appeal to fans of bands that have inspired the group which includes Between the Buried and Me, Periphery, Into Eternity, The Contortionist, and The Chariot.
