1901/ The First Mother out 05.05.2023 via Fireflash Record
A killer mix of death metal, black metal, and “core” attitude
Emerging amidst a sea of deathcore, Italy’s THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY separated themselves from the rest with their visceral sense of the genre. Coming equipped with grinding blast beats, merciless brutal vocals and slaughtering rapid-fire double bass patterns their sound developed and became increasingly unique over time. After the release of their demo, which was chosen as “Demo of the Month” by Rock Hard Germany, they got signed to Napalm Records.
Then, thanks to significant acclaim from the metal world, THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY extensively toured across Europe both as headliners and as supporting act, along with CANNIBAL CORPSE, DYING FETUS, OBSCURA, MALEVOLENT CREATION, VOMITORY. The band also played selected shows with FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, SEPULTURA, DECAPITATED, SUICIDE SILENCE and many more.
The release of the second album -Requiem For Us All- pushed their death metal war machine one step forward, this time with a fierce mix of blazingly fast drumming, technical riffing, epic atmospheres, and crushing groove. Listed as the best metal album of the year by metalsucks.net, it brought the band on tour again with bands as GORGOROTH, VITAL REMAINS, HYPOCRISY, plus many gigs on national soil. Their last full-length album -Stygian- represented a new chapter in the sound of the band, introducing black metal riffing, keyboards, atmospheres, and orchestral elements.
Owing to such effort, the band got once again acclaimed around Europe, co-headlining shows with INGESTED and supporting VADER and ENTOMBED A.D. Before the pandemic, they shared stages with JINJER, DECAPITATED, INCITE, and they are currently hitting the road again, having played in big festivals with SLIPKNOT, SABATON, BEHEMOTH, and many more.
As of today, armed with the finest record of their career and hungry for the return to the live circuit, THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY are enjoying that kind of impetus which just the unswerving dedicated are endowed with. With their upcoming album “1901 | The First Mother”, they are about to shatter all the previous expectations.
The 10 chapters of wrath which make up “1901 | The First Mother” have been written and recorded over the course of two very alienating years for the world, a situation which only strengthened the level of mastery seen in these 37 minutes of refined, harsh fury. The record has been produced by THE MODERN AGE SLAVERY with engineering duties undertaken by the band’s guitar player, Luca Cocconi, along with Simone Sighinolfi (who took care also of mixing and mastering at Audiocore Studio, near Parma, Italy) and will be released on May 5th 2023 via Fireflash Records (Atomic Fire Records division).
