Meads Of Asphodel return from recording at Auschwitz, record song for Bathory tribute
By Tom on Dec 1, 2011 | In News
Meads Of Asphodel's Metatron has returned from Auschwitz where he researched and recorded material for new album 'Sonderkommando'. The band will also contribute to a Bathory tribute album.
'Sonderkommando' will be a concept album examining the Holocaust from the point of view of those Jewish workers forced to remove the bodies from the gas chambers and cremate them, as previously reported on Terrorizer. To research the album, and to record material, Metatron headed to the extermination camp in Poland.
The album, which is said to be "an album of reflection, of sadistic murder and unspeakable cruelty administered by fellow human beings for the unsustainable reason of racial hatred", is surmised by Metatron as thus:
"It took 100 railway carriages to take 100,000 human beings to to Auschwitz-Birkenau, it needed only a few to take their ashes to the Vistula river. The name of god seems pointless here, in this abyss of inhumanity."
'Sonderkommando' is expected in late 2012.
Meads have also recorded the Bathory classic 'Crawl To Your Cross' from the 'Jubileum Vol I' compilation for a forthcoming tribute to the black metal pioneer. Also featuring Taake, Nine Covens, Skyforger, Throne Of Katarsis, Ancient Ascendant, Mael Mordha, Old Corpse Road, Sigh, Gods Tower, Folkvang, Vrani Volsa and more yet to be confirmed. The album will be out in 2012 via Godreah, and will also feature an unreleased audio interview with Quorthorn from 1996.
