Elitist: Fear In A Handful Of Dust – new album

Portland, Oregon's ELITIST have just released their debut album ‘Fear In A Handful Of Dust’ with some help from Season Of Mist Records. The album became available in Europe on June 20th, 2011 and in the U.S. on June 21st, 2011. The band that mixes its death & black metal with sludgecore, dispatches no uncertain message with its debut full-length: “This is for those of us who observe and recognize the evidence of evil in faith, hypocrisy of government and the poisons of herd mentality. We’ll scream our message of discontent from bloody throats and open wounds.” Listen to the track ‘Human All Too Human’ off the new album here, and buy the beast here (Season Of Mist).

Commented MetalSucks: “Recorded dirty on purpose, ELITIST are definitely proud of their filthy approach to the genre, and although proper melodies are difficult to find here, that’s the entire point.”

ELITIST unleashed their “burning hatred of blazing guitars carrying the force of death and darkness” for the first time in 2009 with their self-titled EP. A split 7” with TRANSIENT followed in more or less the same vein via Relapse Records in 2011.

ELITIST features: Joshua Greene – vocals, Taylor Robinson – guitar, Nickolis Parks – drums and Justin Yaquinto – bass.
