WORLD BURNS TO DEATH
“The Graveyard Of Utopia” LP
8 Track Raging Attack of Absolute Hardcore... with searing guitars, a thundering and rapid fire drum pound, and harsh vocals spitting forth a brutal vision. This third LP from Austin, Texas's WORLD BURNS TO DEATH further evolves and refines their trademark sound as dark, ramcharging ultra-punk comes full circle... Here is the speed and severity of their debut 45's AND the refinement, heaviness and precision of their two previous landmark albums on Hardcore Holocaust .While WB2D's lyrics have always been caged in Historical reference, the theme of this LP is rooted in the Failures, Disasters and Massacres of the Soviet State Apparatus and the records packaging includes a detailed 12- page lyric booklet..
"The Graveyard Of Utopia", was tracked initially in Tokyo, Japan after the WB2D 2007 Japanese tour at the legendary OUR HOUSE studios with final recording tweaks and mixing done at THE BUBBLE in Austin . It features guest appearances from Ishiya FORWARD , Iizawa BASTARD/JUDGEMENT/ TETSU AREI Souichi FORWARD, Keiro AKUTARE and Chelsea DEATHSIDE/PAINTBOX, Ashley SIGNAL LOST.
WORLD BURNS TO DEATH are On their first European tour WORLD BURNS TO DEATH will appear in San Francisco on August 23rd at the Prank 13th anniversary show at Annie's Social club with IRON LUNG, DESOLATION and one more TBA.
