"All hail the new kings of the British Metal Underground!" - KERRANG!
In the pillared city of Ur, the horns of misfortune resound. Men cry war from mountainous battlements,
bladed chariots muster in their thousands and common men beg the mercy of pitiless
Gods. This is the essence of Sarpanitum: an unstoppable siege-engine of blackened death forged
in the cradle of civilisation.
Sarpanitum formed in Birmingham, England A.D. 2003, beneath the vigilant gaze of band hierophant
Andy Techakosit. Rooted in self-acquired lore of Ancient Babylonia, Sumeria and Akkadia, the
founder could do little but translate his fascination with mythology and ancient civilisation into
music - the rightful medium for the Mesopotamian epic, Despoilment Of Origin. Plagued by terrible
omens and numerous lineup changes, Techakosit (vocals / bass) would soon find staunch musical
allies and Despoilment Of Origin is the fruit of their slaving labour; an eloquently guttural performance
of mythological blackened death metal that leaves only ashes in its wake.
Their achievements as an unsigned, young band have been nothing short of glorious and led
them to sign with Galactic Records. Having appeared with monumental entities including
Decapitated, Insision, Visceral Bleeding and Macabre, they earned a slot at the annual Neurotic
Records Deathfest in 2006 in Eindhoven, Holland, a high-profile event for the world's most prestigious
death-metal warlords. Side-by-side with the likes of Psycroptic, Insidious Decrepancy,
Gorerotted, Avulsed and Prostitute Disfigurement, Sarpanitum tasted bloody triumph at what can
only be described as one of death metal's most barbaric live events. Following brutal military subjugation,
Kerrang! Magazine declared Sarpanitum "The new kings of the British Metal Underground,"and clearly submitted to extortionate tribute with their astounding KKKK live review. Masterful. Archaic. Decadent.

"… Having spent the last couple of years gaining a reputation as one of the UK's finest death metal outfits thanks to their bulldozering live power, it's hardly surprising that Sarpanitum's debut slays with such ferocity you are left worrying that the sheer intensity will tear your speakers to shreds…“ - Kerrang
"Sarpanitum aren't standing in anyone's shadow when it comes to the music. Capturing the heaviness of the likes of Immolation and melding it with the catchy ferocity of Melechesh, Sarpanitum have gone a long way to forging their own sound. As debut's go, that's pretty damn impressive.“ - Zero Tolerance
"Arguably the best death metal debut to come out of England in some years... a highly impressive slab of brutal yet intelligent death metal that warrants your attention right now.“ - Digital Metal

Addicional info: MIXING You can send me a hard drive, or deliver the material to our ftp servers.
I accept PROTOOLS sessions, LOGIC PRO sessions, OMFS and individual files with 0-start. If you have tracks that are depending on a certain plug-in, always bounce or record this to a new track. If you deliver PROTOOLS sessions, you need to clear the session of unwanted information, especially if you plan to upload the project. The easiest and best way to clear a session would be: Remove every hidden and muted track that is not supposed to be in the mix. Remove every playlist not in use (if you worked with playlists). After you have done this, select unused regions and choose "clear", and then "remove". Now use the "Save Copy In" command from the File menu. Check the boxes for "all audio files", and "don't copy fade files". Don't change anything else. Choose a location and hit "save". This will create a smallest possible session copy that you can zip/rar and upload, or put directly on the hard drive/DVD discs that you send here.
