Infinite Death have now completed work on a follow-up EP called The Endless Suffering, and today we’re bringing you the premiere of the EP’s second single, “In Despair“. Infinite Death make no bones about the fact that they’re inspired by Gothenberg-style melodic death metal, and for fans like me of that distinctive, Swedish brand of metal, The Endless Suffering will be a welcome dose of well-executed, high-energy extremity. Infinite Death band photo by John Anthony Haddad The songs combine a lot of flashy fretwork and gymnastic drumming with plenty of melodic hooks, and the raw, howling vocals of frontman Hex Ramirez add an extra element of ferocity to these full-throttle romps. The guitar duo of Josh Palomar and Rose Deocampo turn out a changing array of riffs that gallop, dart, jab, and groove, and Palomar adds fluid solos to the songs that range from the soulful to the searing. The band also segment the EP with a beautiful, rainy-day acoustic guitar instrumental backed by the sound of strings. It’s a somber and serene break in an otherwise hard-driving, but dynamically paced, collection of tracks. The EP’s clarity of production gives all the performers a chance to shine, with Wolfgang Knauf’s nimble bass notes an enlivening presence, often surfacing in harmony with the guitars, and Brian ’s dynamic drumming keeping this well-oiled machine on course while adding an extra element of variety. The Endless Suffering features painted cover art by John Anthony Haddad, and it will be released later this spring I’ll update this post when I find out the exact release date and how to acquire the music. Here’s the track list: 1. VENOMOUS 2. CARNAGE UNLEASHED 3. IN DESPAIR 4. BY NIGHTFALL 5. DEMONIC ARRIVAL 6. THE ENDLESS SUFFERING Listen to “In Despair” below, and we’re also including a stream of the first single from the EP, “Venomous”. Name: Jason Williams from Metal Assault Date: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Title: Jason Williams from Metal Assault Body: I left to see melodic black metalers Infinite Death play the main room to the largest audience at this point. A number of my friends have had said nothing but positive things about them, and I was very eager to finally get the chance to hear them play. Right at 5:30, the speakers hit everyone witnessing with some fantastic riffs and melody. Their stage presence was on a high note, constantly moving while proficient in their playing. Vocalist Hex Ramirez was definitely the most entertaining frontman of the entire evening, with plenty of dry humor and crowd interaction throughout their set, asking the crowd to sing along to their song “Until We Rot”. Not only did they bring a number of their own fans in, but the rest of the room absolutely loved them. Lead guitarist Josh Palomar was brilliant to watch, with beautiful melody all across the riffs and leads. But their new drummer was a delight to watch. Incredibly powerful, more than competent in his fills, and his blasting reminded me of Carcass’s Ken Owen on Heartwork, crystal clear, earth shattering and incredibly brutal. Infinite Death’s 25-minute set went by much too quickly. Absolutely one of my favorite bands this evening. Name: Alex Distefano - OC Weekly Date: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Title: Alex Distefano - OC Weekly Body: Based out of the greater LA/Whittier areas, Infinite Death is an up-and-coming extreme metal band, that fans the flames of old school death metal, thrash metal and black metal. The vocals are loud, clear and harsh, deep with majestic brutality and compliment the smashing drums, and laser fast bass lines and razor sharp guitar riffs that allow room for melody within chaos. Although the band was born in 2010, Infinite Death has already gained notoriety for intense, haunting live shows, and has earned a solid fan base throughout OC and the rest of Southern California, playing any opportunity that comes up.

I discovered that I had a very well toned voice so I started singing and everyone has told me that I was born to express my voice and also help others discover their own original voice as well. About a year later I got an acoustic guitar, and was attached to it everyday. I taught myself how to play guitar by ear and soon after I learned how to self tune, I learned my chords and how to read music. I sing and play and harmonize and also write my own music. As of now I am learning piano, I am a beginner at it but know my notes and how to read sheet music. I don't have a preferred style of music I sing, because when I do it's different and original. Lastly, I've gave several vocal and guitar lessons to many individuals, and have had positive feedback. I'd love to help others achieve the level of excellence they desire. Private Education: I take classes online to learn more about music so I can continue to advance and teach others who also want to succeed in the music industry. Performing Experience: I am not nervous or shy performing for others, because I am confident in what I do. I have performed at coffee shops, music stores, and many events. I perform to the best of my abilities. Experience Teaching: As I mentioned briefly above, I have had positive experiences teaching, and I love to help others to feel confident in themselves. If it were possible I would teach everyday or whenever needed.
