Akercocke Prepare To Unleash 'Antichrist'

By jason

Demonic deviants Akercocke will serve up their latest offering, entitled 'Antichrist', on Monday in the UK/Europe.

Already causing passionate revulsion amongst members of the Irish clergy, and distaste at US pressing plants, the album looks set to go down as the most controversial Akercocke have released.

Featuring 10 twisted compositions on the regular edition of the CD, the release is bolstered by a limited edition version housed in a deluxe super jewel case which contains 2 bonus tracks, namely covers of "Leprosy" by Death and "Chapel of Ghouls" by Morbid Angel.

The limited edition is strictly available while stocks last.

Akercocke's current headline UK tours winds up in London this Sunday at the Camden Underworld.

Visit the band's Myspace page where you can listen exclusively to the track "Summon The Antichrist" taken from the forthcoming album, watch videos of the band in the studio and pre-order 'Antichrist'.
