ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUMS IN UNDERGROUND METAL!
In late 2006, ex-CATARACT founding member and main songwriter Simon Fullemann started a new project named ARMA GATHAS. After a gruelling two-year search for the right musicians to complement his artistic vision, he hooked up with scene icon Che Snelting, former singer and frontman for Dutch institution BORN FROM PAIN. The line-up was completed by MACHINEMADE GOD guitarist Marc Niedersberg, 20-year old drum talent Max van Winkelhof and bassist Alex “Lahnsteiner” Hartel. Thirteen brutal, atmospheric, apocalyptic songs were written and brought to life to form ‘Dead To This World’, a concept album written by Simon Fullemann with vocalist Che Snelting’s lyrical ideas. No boundaries were set during the writing process: heavy guitars, solos, synths, recordings of their own vital organs for sampling, experimenting with different drum beats and fills. Recorded and mixed by Sky v Hoff (CALIBAN, MACHINEMADE GOD) and Mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side (MASTODON, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, HATEBREED and many more)
