• Experience Raw Metal Intensity w/ IMPERISHABLE's (ft. Nile, Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation members) Debut Album “Revelation In Purity”

  Aug 28, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Get set to experience a raw and real death metal experience with the debut album "Revelation in Purity" from IMPERISHABLE, featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation). Mixed and mastered by Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, Whitechapel, Scale the Summit), the album is set to be unleashed on Friday, August 29th, 2025, via Everlasting Spew Records. Teaming up with Decibel Magazine, the triad force is premiering the album's exclusive full stream premiere HERE.

  Delivering an unapologetically fierce experience, Imperishable was formed as an outlet for raw, unfiltered aggression outside their legacy bands. This first full-length is a relentless display of old-school ethos and modern wrath. Eschewing over-polished production, the album plunges listeners into visceral, analog brutality. The title of this record is based on the revelation of what true purity is. Lyrically, the album ranges from topics of religion, health, personal struggles, and sacrifice. Imperishable welcomes interpretation, mirroring their approach to songwriting as collaborative, ever-evolving, and instinctively intense.

  "First of all, we're thrilled to be releasing Revelation In Purity on Everlasting Spew Records. They're a well-respected and renowned underground label that aligns with our musical standards and vision. It's an honor. This album started with just a few ideas between Alex and I, and has now taken on a life of its own, and we're damn proud of what we've achieved here. It represents where we were at the time. Musically and otherwise. The pandemic, the birth of my son, the loss of immediate family, etc, it's all in there. It's an honest record. Even the recording itself has no quantizing or samples on the drums. Minimal edits across the board. We wanted it to sound good, but not over-polished. A lot of that is in capturing the performance. So, you might not hear every note perfectly, but the conviction is there, and that's what matters," says Brian Kingsland.

  A dark, aggressive, and occasionally experimental at times, the songs on "Revelation in Purity" are molded around power rather than flash. Pure metal with a sense of exploration! Recommended for fans of Morbid Angel, Emperor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Nile.

• IMPERISHABLE (ft. Nile, Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation, Olkoth members) Forges Raw Fury w/ Debut Album “Revelation In Purity” Out August 29th + New Video For Title Track & "Oath of Disgust"

  Jul 23, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Brace for impact as Imperishable, the blistering new project featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation) announces the release of their debut album "Revelation In Purity", out August 29th, 2025 via Everlasting Spew Records.
  ​
  Formed as an outlet for raw, unfiltered aggression outside their legacy bands, Imperishable delivers an unapologetically fierce experience. "Revelation In Purity" is crafted with a sound described in four words: aggressive, dark, evil, and fast. The debut full-length is a relentless display of old-school ethos and modern wrath. Eschewing over-polished production, the album plunges listeners into visceral, analog brutality.

  Inspired by death and black metal legends including Morbid Angel, Emperor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Nile, "Revelation In Purity" balances sheer speed and aggression with atmospheric weight and lyrical depth. Though the lyrics lean toward personal strength and confidence, Imperishable welcomes interpretation, mirroring their approach to songwriting as collaborative, ever-evolving, and instinctively intense.

  Brian Kingsland (Vocals/Guitar) comments on the album:

  "First of all, we're thrilled to be releasing "Revelation In Purity" on Everlasting Spew Records. They're a well-respected and renowned underground label that aligns with our musical standards and vision. It's an honor. This album started with just a few ideas between Alex and me, and has now taken on a life of its own, and we're damn proud of what we've achieved here. It definitely represents where we were at the time. Musically and otherwise. The pandemic, the birth of my son, the loss of immediate family, etc, it's all in there. It's an honest record that is a bit more raw and recorded old-school. There's no quantizing or samples on the drums. Minimal edits across the board. We wanted it to sound good, but not over-polished. A lot of that is in capturing the performance. So, you might not hear every note perfectly, but the conviction is there, and that's what matters. If this is your thing, you'll love it. It's a kick in the teeth."

  Fans can expect more music in the future, but for now, this debut is a definitive statement. "Revelation In Purity" is not just an album, it’s an experience. Raw. Real. Revelatory.

• Out Now! Brian Kingsland (NILE, Imperishable, Enthean) Releases Classical / Spanish Guitar Album "Translation"

  Jan 8, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​Known for his role in extreme metal bands such as NILE, Imperishable, and Enthean, composer /guitarist and vocalist Brian Kingsland is sharing his other passion in music, with his debut classical / Spanish guitar album entitled "Translation" due out on January 8, 2025.

  Kingsland's musical taste has always been wide from his pursuit of extreme metal to learning blues licks, and jazz theory, to impossible techniques. Classical guitar is another evolution in his musical journey. Beginning private classical studies in the early 2000s, Kingsland performed live many times, but never recorded any of the material. After many years of making heavy metal records, he felt it was time to reinvest in his classical pursuits. Performing compositions from some of his favorite composers Francisco Tarrega, Agustín Barrios Mangoré, Antonio Lauro, Andrés Segovia, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Isaac Albéniz, the 11-track tribute can be best described as a beautiful and poetic of musical interpretation of some of the world's greatest classical guitarists.

  "I have always been attracted to Spanish and South American classical guitar music. I find it rhythmically diverse and harmonically rich. It has unique challenges that deviate from the traditional classical guitar. I think guitar and music fans alike will enjoy hearing another side of my musical expression," adds Kingsland.

  With classical music, particularly solo performances, it is up to the performer to interpret their vision of the song. Although he or she may not be the author, they're the vessel for the music to be expressed. Thus, Kingsland believes it is a collaboration, and with "Translation" he wants listeners to join him on a journey through Spain and South America to appreciate the genius of these composers, and be enveloped in these wonderful masterpieces.

  "Translation" is available on digital platforms:
