The ninth studio long-player from the Tampa-based American death metal veterans, the Relapse Records-issued and Kickstarter co-funded
Inked in Blood finds the feral Floridians parting ways with longtime bass player Frank Watkins and bringing bassist Terry Butler and lead guitarist
Kenny Andrews into the fold. Four years in the making, the 12-track collection of all-new material, which dutifully employs the group's signature blend of decibel-crushing, slow-burn intensity and lyrical malevolence, was written, recorded, and mixed at the band's own RedNeck Studio in Gibsonton, Florida.
