	USURPER - Complete Work On 'Cryptobeast'
	Chicago death/thrash lords USURPER have completed work on their fifth full-length album, "Cryptobeast". Recorded at Chicago's Rax Trax Studios with producer Neil Kernon (JUDAS PRIEST, DEICIDE, CANNIBAL CORPSE), "Cryptobeast" marks the recording debut with the group of new singer Dan "Tyrantor" Lawson and the return of the band's original drummer, Joe "Apocalyptic" Warlord. Coimmented guitarist Rick Scythe: "Back is the drum insanity of 'Threshold of The Usurper' and the guitar tone to match. I think the overall impact of the songs will be 'Threshold'-type chaos combined with 'Necronemesis'-type precision. The production sounds like the instrument tones of 'Threshold/Diabolosis' combined with the attack of 'Twilight Dominion'. The cover art is once again being done by Craig 'Wicked Hand' Simpson. Thanks to all of our metal brothers and sisters who have stuck with us through all the years and all the line-up bullshit. We won't let you down!" "Cryptobeast" track listing: 01. Bones of My Enemies 02. Supernatural Killing Spree 03. Kill For Metal 04. Conquest of The Grotesque 05. Return of The Werewolf 06. Reptilian 07. Cryptobeast 08. Wrath of God 09. Warriors of Iron and Rust (new version) 10. (untitled instrumental track) "Cryptobeast" is now in the mastering stages and is slated for a March 2005 release through Earache Records.
