More great old school death metal from Houston (Texas):

War Master - "Chapel of Apocalypse" Demo 2009



"...For any career metalhead, it's impossible to hear the name War Master without thinking of the classic Bolt Thrower album of the same name. War Master takes the patterns of later Bolt Thrower, like For Victory... and IVth Crusade, and renders them in the simpler, messier and more rhythmic style of the first two Bolt Thrower CDs."

War Master "Chapel of Apocalypse" Demo 2009 (Examiner.com)

"...this demo is primitive and powerful grinding material; unlike the Bolt Thrower album, this material is less grindcore than old school death metal that grinds, and if you listen long enough, you can hear other classic death metal influences creeping in."

War Master "Chapel of Apocalypse" Demo 2009 (Dark Legions)

You can get the cassette demo for $4 from Torture Garden Picture Company, and you can add War Master to your friends list on MySpace.

Obviously, they love Bolt Thrower, but they sound more like early Immolation doing up later Bolt Thrower in the early Bolt Thrower style.

Anyone else dig 'em?

Show the love for the old school!

After hearing positive reports of this old school death metal band when they opened for BLASPHERIAN and IMPRECATION a month ago, I found the demo at Sound Exchange and was able to hear all three tracks in full and was impressed. WAR MASTER were kind enough to take the time to chat with us about their demo, sound and future.

WAR MASTER interview, Houston old school death metal

Good to hear about the full-length album coming. We need more from the "old school death metal revival" that Houston is having.

Also, Hells Headbangers now has the demo for $5
