We Are Building Ruins – Where The Sun Sets EP
By · Comments
“Italian death metal” might not be a much-used phrase in your vernacular, but if you were going to change that – as the cliche goes – there’s no better time than now.
Previously, the only other Italian band I had heard of (I think) was Vanilla Sky; which, as you may or may not know, is a FAR cry from what We Are Building Ruins brings to the table. One is pop-punk, one is death metal…but I think their respective band names make that pretty clear.
We Are Building Ruins’ (WABR) band bio goes something like this:
WABR is an Italian modern death metal/grindcore band from Cagliari, Sardinia (Italy). The band started out in 2008 from an idea of the guitarist Nicola Olla (ex Mutilated Soul, ex Sanisickation). He wanted to start a fresh death metal project; a few months later Raphael Saini (Chaoswave, ex Misbelieving) joined the project.
The band found a valiable member in 2008 after many lineup changes: Omar Mameli (ex Catarìa) joined WABR as lead singer.
On June 14th, 2010, the band digitally released the EP Where The Sun Sets. The tracks had been recorded at V-Studio (Sinnai, Italy) by Villy Cocco, and mixed/mastered at 16th Cellar Studio (Hour of Penance, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Murder Therapy, etc.) by Stefano Morabito.
Where the Sun Sets has three tracks: ‘Rise Above the Sun’, ‘The Painting’, and ‘Raft of The Medusa.’
In my opinion, the middle track is the most well constructed of the bunch…or at least the one that will catch your attention the quickest because of the super-fast pace of the song. That’s not to say that the other tracks are lackluster by any means; and seeing that both Ben from All Shall Perish and Alex from Despised Icon are fans of the band (quoted by saying about WABR: “Damn, WABR is brutal as hell! I love em!” and “Sick stuff! Keep it up!”, respectively), you should at least respect that take on the songs.
I’ve embedded the track below so you can see for yourself. If the blisteringly fast notes at the beginning of aren’t enough to melt your face off, the vocals will pick up the slack.
Recommended If You Like: Whitechapel, Job For a Cowboy, any other death metal/deathcore bands

Unearth Statement About New 2011 Album
By · Comments
Official statement from Unearth:
“We wanted to let everyone know that tracking for the new album has officially begun! We’re currently at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA tracking drums with our sit in drummer for the album Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage/Blood Has Been Shed. Foley was an obvious choice for this album for many reasons, but mainly because of his abilities and knowledge of heavy music as well as his long time friendship with the band. A decade plus of friendship has made this an easy transition for the band, Foley and our producer/engineer Adam D.
“In other news, we have decided to change the mixing engineer for the album to Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, White Chapel, Devil Driver, Trivium, etc…) from Audiohammer Studios. Mark is another long time friend of the band and we’re excited to hear what he can do with our sound on record.
“Guitarist Buz McGrath added this irrelevant comment about working with Mark, ‘Mark Lewis mixed me a drink once and i woke up in a swamp covered in anti freeze.’
“As we said before, we’re aiming at a mid to late June release for the album followed by massive World touring.
“Below is a snapshot of the hard drive of the tunes being tracked (just working titles ofcourse).”
