about

Usurpress is a doom/crust/prog-infused death metal band formed in Uppsala (Sweden) in 2010. They've always written short, aggressive songs based around dissonant death metal riffs and raw d-beat drumming, spiced with handfuls of progrock and psychedelia. "The Regal Tribe" is the follow up to "Ordained" (2014) which saw Usurpress leave their deathcrust path for more uncharted territories. During the composing of the new album, the band was plagued by mental disorders/depressions and life threatening illnesses in the memberâs immediate families, most notably vocalist/lyricist Stefan Petterssonâs battle with his bone marrow cancer. Therefore "The Regal Tribe" is a heavier and darker, yet more varied, complex and thoughtful effort than their previous albums. This concept album is a tragic story about life versus death, about vanity and the relentless passing of time and is by far Usurpressâ most ambitious output to date.

The album's haunting cover artwork was created by renowned Dutch artist Marald van Haasteren (Bolt Thrower, High on Fire, Baroness, Kylesa) who was given a carte blanche with rgeards to the visual interpretation of the album’s lyrical concept. "The Regal Tribe" was recorded under the supervision of rising star producer Lawrence Mackrory (FKÜ, Darkane).

Starspawn
by Blood Incantation

supported by 59 fans who also own “The Regal Tribe”

I will keep this uncharacteristically brief and hyperbolic: this is certainly the best death metal debut album of the past 10 years, and one of the top 10 death metal albums over the same time period in general, breathing the same rarefied air as Ulcerate, Dead Congregation, and Abyssal. I do not need to describe the album because everyone else has done that so well, and there is universal praise for Starspawn all over the internet that you can read at your own leisure. Buy this album and let it transform your perception of what death metal can be. Ippocalyptica
