“The unrelenting curse of the Sonoran Desert sun (be it Masaki's uncompromising vocals, Travis' thunderous drums, the monsoon of Ryan's solos or the heart stopping bass of Sunao)”, aka HEMOPTYSIS (medical term for expectoration - or coughing up - of blood), has released new video for ‘M.O.D.’, track taken from the band's debut full-length recording, ‘Misanthropic Slaughter’, self-released in March 2011 and unleashed upon the European continent by Rock It Up Records in May 2011. And since over 30 mayor metal critics agree the ‘Misanthropic Slaughter’ kicks major ass, you can’t go wrong by ordering the album here, can you? Especially, since I read a HEMOPTYSIS' show is “akin to witnessing an exorcism” - therefore I strongly suggest you attend one of those too, if indeed possible, because “the legions of fans that surround HEMOPTYSIS are immeasurable and devoted to the death”, heh.
HEMOPTYSIS, (or “the true embodiment of the re-birth of American thrash metal”) was formed in 2007 by Masaki Murashita (guitar and vocals) and Travis Thune (drums) in Tempe, Arizona. Joined by bass player Sunao Arai and lead guitarist Brian Bieganski in 2008, HEMOPTYSIS recorded a 5-track EP entitled ‘Who Needs A Shepherd?’ that same year. Recorded by Steve Conley and mastered by Maor Appelbaum, the EP earned the group a “Metal Artist Of The Year” award by Phoenix Music Awards in 2009, a feat the band managed to repeat in 2010. With new lead guitarist Ryan Miller, HEMOPTYSIS entered Validus Recording Studio in July 2010 to record their debut full-length, ‘Misanthropic Slaughter’. Award winning producer Ryan Greene (MEGADEATH, ALICE COOPER…) produced, engineered, and mixed the album which was mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.
