Ingested will release their new album, Ashes Lie Still, on November 4 via Metal Blade. The band have released the video below, along with the following message from drummer Lyn Jeffs:
"Here's a short behind the scenes documentary of our drum tracking sessions for Ashes Lie Still. Due to the pandemic we tracked all instruments separately so it was just me and our producer Nico Beninato locked up in his studio in Mallorca for a week during August 2020, it was a pretty brutal experience cause we were dealing with a heatwave at that time and as the studio was newly built, there was no air conditioning installed, so excuse my effing and jeffing at parts. Thoughout the 20 min clip you'll get to see some drum tracking footage and walk throughs of the equipment we were using and why we decided upon them. Enjoy!"
Ingested are the flagbearers of modern UK death metal. They have been churning out bilious anti-anthems for more than a decade-and-a-half, dropping a string of releases that have helped shape the genre. They return with Ashes Lie Still, their most dynamic, inventive, and daring release to date, holding nothing back. The band describes it as "a modern essential. It still has the core Ingested elements of groovy slamming riffs, quick drumming, and guttural vocals but there's also atmosphere, ethereal moments, and some raw old school aggression."
Over the course of 10 tracks, Ingested hack, slash, and steamroll through everything in their path, and Ashes Lie Still easily stands as the highpoint of an already impressive career.
Founded in 2006 in Manchester, England, Ingested have since toured extensively with Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile, Carnifex, and Revocation, and have been seen on European festival stages including Summer Breeze Open Air. Slimmed down to a three-piece, the band feels it is in the best place it ever has been, enabling the members to work at the top of their game.
Ashes Lie Still was co-produced by the band and previous collaborator Nico Beninato, with drummer Lyn Jeffs living close to Beninato's studio in Mallorca and recording his drums there, while Sean Hynes recorded his guitars at home in the UK with the producer assisting remotely. Vocal tracking was interrupted by Jason Evans falling seriously ill when finally making it to Mallorca and was ultimately tracked back in Manchester. Bass was again supplied by Dominic Grimard (Ion Dissonance/The Last Felony).
Ingested succinctly encapsulate their existence, saying, "We've always been the underdogs, always fighting for scraps. Well it's time to get out of the fucking way, because now it's our turn to eat at the table."
