Charred Walls of the Damned reveals details for new album, ‘Creatures Watching Over The Dead’

Streams new track, “The Soulless”, online

Charred Walls Of The Damned – the brainchild of former Death/Iced Earth drummer Richard Christy – will release their third full-length, Creatures Watching Over The Dead, on September 23rd via Metal Blade Records. Today, the band has released the first single from the album, entitled “The Soulless”. This blistering track can be heard now at: metalblade.com/cwotd – where the record is also available for pre-order in various formats.

With five years having elapsed since the quartet dropped Cold Winds On Timeless Days, it’s understandable that fans have been yearning for more, but Charred Walls Of The Damned has not exactly been sitting around, kicking their heels. Christy – who has previously played with Iced Earth, Death, Control Denied, Burning Inside and Leash Law – played drums on Monte Pittman‘s Inverted Grasp Of Balance, wrote music for New York State’s “The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze” event, and co-wrote a heavy metal comedy Viking rock opera with guitarist Jason Suecof and Titmouse Animation, titled “Majestic Loincloth”. Suecof is of course one of the most in demand producers in contemporary metal. Then there’s legendary bassist Steve DiGiorgio, who made a name for himself in the ranks of Death, Testament, Vintersorg, Dragonlord and a myriad of other great metal bands; in recent years, he has laid down his inimitable style on records from Ephel Duath, Soen, Memorain and others. Which just leaves vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens, who for a time fronted Judas Priest, before lending his formidable pipes to Iced Earth and Yngwie Malmsteen‘s mighty compositions, touring relentlessly under his own name, and starting a new band (Project Rock).

When it was time to lay the songs down, Charred Walls Of The Damned convened at Suecof’s Audiohammer Studio, outside Orlando, FL. The nine resulting tracks are heavy, catchy, anthemic and downright killer music to wreck your neck to. See below for the official track-listing!

Charred Walls of the Damned enthüllen Details zum neuen Album, ‘Creatures Watching Over The Dead’

Streamen die erste Single “The Soulless”

Charred Walls Of The Damned – das Geistige Kind des ehemaligen Death/Iced Earth Schlagzeugers Richard Christy – werden ihr drittes Album, Creatures Watching Over The Dead, am 23.September über Metal Blade Records veröffentlichen. Heute gibt es mit “The Soulless” die erste Single aus dem kommenden Album zu hören. Den genialen Track könnt ihr jetzt hier anhören: metalblade.com/cwotd – dort könnt ihr auch das Album in verschiedenen Versionen vorbestellen.

Fünf Jahre nach Cold Winds On Timeless Days lässt sich nachvollziehen, dass die Fans ungeduldig geworden sind, aber die Bandmitglieder hatten anderweitig viel zu tun. Christy, der schon bei Iced Earth, Death, Control Denied, Burning Inside und Leash Law sowie auf Monte Pittmans Inverted Grasp Of Balance trommelte, schrieb auch Musik für den New Yorker “The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze” und beteiligte sich gemeinsam mit Gitarrist Jason Suecof und Titmouse Animation an einer Metal-Comedy-Wikinger-Rockoper mit dem Titel “Majestic Loincloth”. Dann wäre noch Suecof, einer der gefragtesten Produzenten momentan. Basslegende Steve DiGiorgio hingegen, der sich mit Death, Testament, Vintersorg, Dragonlord und vielen anderen Combos einen Namen gemacht hat, bereicherte mit seinem unnachahmlichen Spiel Alben von Ephel Duath, Soen, Memorain und weiteren Bands. Bleibt noch Sänger Tim “Ripper” Owens, der zwischenzeitlich bei dieser nicht unbekannten britischen Band Judas Priest am Mikro stand – bevor er seine einzigartige Stimme bei Iced Earth und Yngwie Malmsteen zu Gehör brachte tourte unermüdlich mit seiner eigenen Band und gründete die neue Band Project Rock.

Die Aufnahmen des Albums fanden in Suecofs Audiohammer Studio außerhalb von Orlando in Florida statt. Die dort entstandenen neun Songs sind eingängige, hymnische und einfach saustarke Heavy Metal Tracks, die zum Headbangen einladen. Hier gibt es noch die komplette Tracklist:
