Run for your lives, people, or at least try and get a good headshot in, because Send More Paramedics are back with their brand new album 'The Awakening'. You can rest assured that they still want to ingest your cranial juices after overpowering you with their arsenal of psychotic thrash riffs. The rotting quartet were exhumed in May 06 and securely shipped into the studio to record what's going to be another landmark album for the band. The result, 15 tracks of bone crunching destruction that show Send More Paramedics are a greater threat to humanity than previously thought. Along with this murderous thrash onslaught will also be a synth and orchestral 80s horror film instrumental soundtrack bonus CD (in the vein of John Carpenter).
The Awakening is based on a concept-scenario for an imaginary film to which the bonus cd is the soundtrack. How did we find the time? Well, the dead have to keep busy doing something...
Jeff Walker & Ken Owen from legendary UK death metallers Carcass risked their lives adding back up vocals on 2 of the tracks on the album.
The Awakening is also backed up by amazing original artwork from GamesWorkshop legend Stefan Kopinski (www.stefankopinski.com).
The undead are on the march and, this time, nothing can stop them......
