Yesterday marks the release of the debut EP from LURKING TERROR. ‘A World In Darkness’ features 5 songs of old-school death metal and to further exemplify their lethal intention the LA-based quintet have revealed a new lyric video for song “In Darkness.” Watch HERE
“In Darkness’ draws inspiration from the haunting and otherworldly tales of H.P. Lovecraft,” explains singer Enrique Chavez. “The song delves into the eerie and unsettling realm of a nightmare that I find myself trapped in, yet paradoxically, there’s a strange sense of fascination and enjoyment in the experience, as if I’m both terrified and mesmerized by the dark visions unfolding before me.”
While LURKING TERROR have only been together for 3 years, the five band members have roots dating back three decades when the core trio of vocalist Enrique Chavez, drummer Joel Marquez and guitarist Vincent Cervera played together in the cult death metal band SADISTIC INTENT. LURKING TERROR, named after the opening cut of the classic 1990 SADISTIC INTENT EP, ‘Impending Doom…,’ are joined by guitarist Noel Bello (ex-Infinitum Obscure) and bassist Lorenzo Kemp (Temblad).
Since releasing a demo there’s been tremendous interest in the group leading to performances not only in the band’s So Cal home but in other states with festival appearances in Texas and Illinois, and even further with concerts in Mexico and Japan, along the way sharing bills with Sacramentum, Sinister, Midnight, Incantation, Pessimist, Nausea, Phobia and more.
LURKING TERROR brings the classic Death Metal sound that has rumbled in the underground for decades. With heavy down-tuned guitars, blistering riffs, grinding blast beats and guttural Death Metal vocals, the band is everything Death Metal was meant to sound like. The slow, pounding heavy sounds are reminiscent of bands like Autopsy and the classic Stockholm Swedish sound of Entombed, while the downbeats hit your ears with the aggression brought forth by bands like Napalm Death and Terrorizer, leaving the listener wanting more after every assault.
This past summer upon announcing the signing we presented “This Means War” https://youtu.be/h6d4SOAqvRE, now comes the full EP and the guys are already writing the planned full-length.
