Sweden's Corporation 187's hotly anticipated third album, 'Newcomers of Sin' brings together 10 years of relentless metal carnage and sees them producing the best riffs and tunes they've ever written so far. Cutting a savage melodic death swath through the global metal scene with two well received albums on Earache’s pioneering Wicked World imprint, best known for ‘discovering’ Hate Eternal and Decapitated, and tours with Arch Enemy, Lock-Up and a whole host of illegibly lodged heavyweights straight from the most hardened head banger’s CD stack. Having now concentrated on taking as far a step away from the insipid, over-produced ocean of Gothenshred they’d found themselves associated with, they have been busily writing new material that would establish them as individuals amid a scene of obvious, unabashed clones. The culmination of this period of Zen-like introspection is teaming up with Anticulture Records to unleash ‘Newcomers Of Sin’, a creeping infection of slow, heavy, dark, hard-edged death/thrash that’d cause Carnal Forge or ‘One Kill Wonder’-era Haunted to spend a long hour cuddling a cushion, dribbling, muttering and rocking back and forth.
