thanks to Frank Huang for filming us!

Update: As of the day after this gig, we are almost completely tapped out of tapes and shirts: 9 copies of the split left and 1 Large shirt.

Dystrophy/Dethroned Emperor Split

We have finally received our copies of the new split. You can get this tape from RTF, Dystrophy, or us. With us, the tape is 6$ + 2$ shipping to US or +4$ shipping anywhere else (Paypal preferred). We will also have the tape with us at upcoming shows. Limited to 200 copies!

After a year of preparation, comrades Dystrophy and Dethroned Emperor have focused their efforts into one of the most aggressive musical collaborations in recent memory to emerge out of central NJ. The New Brunswick Death Metal Alliance combines Dystrophy’s cultivated chaos with the wayward bestiality of Dethroned Emperor. Four-piece Dystrophy has surpassed the focused intensity of their ripping debut full-length ‘Chains of Hypocrisy’ with three new tracks that display their rabid growth in technicality, songwriting, and lyrical complexity. These razor edged tracks mark the beginning of a new year of Dystrophic-devastation that will leave you eager for their next pieces. Two-piece Dethroned Emperor dish out 9 rapid-fire lessons in insanity and a cover on their side, complementing the collaboration with an emphasis on low-end frequencies and primitive blasting. Dethroned Emperor continues to develop their erratic and compressed song style with more speed and violence than ever before. The first installment of the New Brunswick Death Metal alliance appear to you as a testament to one of the most crushing and extreme movements the overpopulated ‘basement scene’ has ever had to deal with as two slumbering titans step above ground in a combined effort to level the playing field of independent extreme music.

split w/ Dystrophy review and availability

UPDATE (as of March 7): We are still waiting on physical copies. According to the RTF webstore, their tapes which have been up for pre-order were supposed to ship "around March 5." We have still heard nothing from RTF about either their or our copies arriving. As far as I know, these delays are beyond RTF's control and related to factory delays, so please continue to bear with us through the wait. In the mean time, there is a download link floating around the RTF message board if you want to go find it.

Also, only 4 (L) shirts remain.

Don't know what happened with the treble on this recording (high hat overpowering), but more footage from Feb 3. Kudos to whoever filmed this.

Mailing List

Hello all,

If you look to your right, you will see a new gadget in place that allows you to sign up for the newly-created Dethroned Emperor mailing list. Given that we do not have a Facebook/Myspace (and never will), a mailing list seems like an effective way to get relevant information about the band out to people who want to hear it. Go ahead and sign up if you'd like. We obviously aren't going to sell your email addresses or whatever, and the stuff we actually send out is likely to be very minimal (probably just show/release updates, merch stuff, etc), but if even that is too much unsubscribing seems pretty simple. Any questions, give us shout.

P.S. The new Proclamation album is fucking amazing: pick that shit up ASAP. Also, check out the full preview track from the new Revenge album. 2012 is so far the year of war metal...
