about
Soulseller Records proudly presents “Lords Of The Permafrost” - the new and sixth album of Chicago’s Metal extremists USURPER!
USURPER formed in 1993 and released their first demo in 1994. Since then, USURPER have recorded five full-lengths, one mini album, a rarities CD and toured 17 different countries around the world. USURPER'S blend of 80's inspired thrash metal, classic heavy metal anthems, over-the-top chaos and hints of dark, melodic atmosphere have been a trademark of the band since day one. USURPER doesn't preach any political/religious ideologies, or sing about any socially relevant topics. Topics such as werewolfs, monster folklore, alien invasions, ancient civilizations, ancient battles, cryptozoological creatures, hauntings, prophecies, time travel, and the paranormal in addition to their trademark 'Metal Anthems' are the essence of . USURPER'S words, which when combined with the music, and artwork create a strange fantasy world of dark heavy metal horror.
“Lords Of The Permafrost” was recorded and produced between July and August 2018 at Electrical Audio, Chicago by the band and Taylor Hales and features a cover artwork by Juha Vuorma.
Beware - Metal is back!
Band statement: "After a 14 year hiatus, Usurper are proud to return with our sixth full length album entitled, "Lords of the Permafrost". Back when we formed in 1993, we had the goal to create heavy, memorable songs with the anthemic quality of traditional Heavy Metal, combined with the heaviness of death metal, the fury of thrash metal, the atmosphere of black metal and the straight-forward, ass-kicking of 70's Hard Rock.... 25 years later, we feel we have stayed true to our original objective and have recorded the quintessential Usurper album. Lyrically these songs explore topics such as monster folklore, the paranormal and other obscure tales, all while being delivered with a lethal dose of Heavy Metal bravado. Usurper never have, and never will chase trends. We have only returned to bring our next chapter of metal to the Worldwide Warriors of Iron and Rust, and kick maximum ass!"

The Tower of the Morbid
by PAGANIZERsupported by 19 fans who also own “Lords Of The Permafrost”
Scandinavian death metal is so awesome most of the time, it's beyond words really. Such rigor, precision, craftmanship otherwordly. Even though I had been checking some releases by Paganizer over the years I came back to The Tower of the Morbid here on BC by mere chance and decided to give it another go, mid tempo with harsh low toned vocals and great guitar work. Worthy

TFW a band revisits a concept decades later and absolutely nails it. Noctunus AD is fantastic

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

The Chappaqua, New York quartet hit all the right notes as they move beyond chiptune into analog power pop (but still a little bit chiptune).

Never disappoints. Loved the aggression. The pacing from songs are well put.
