Five of the UK's most promising metal bands have teamed up for a split to be released on 23rd May via CONDATE RECORDS. The split features new tracks from COLONEL BLAST, DIASCORIUM, MAGPYES, CANCEROUS WOMB and DYSCAPHIA.
With 20 punishing tracks clocking in at over 60 minutes for a competitively priced £5 – the record promises to tear you limb from limb then sew them all back on again the wrong way, with a loving smile and a kiss on the forehead.
CONDATE RECORDS Director Ben Whitfield commented, "When the possibility of putting five underground bands from the UK on a split, showcasing some of the best metal the UK currently has to offer came along, there was a natural fit between the ethos of bands/records label and agreement that this should be the next Condate release. The idea behind Condate Records is to help and support bands we like as much as possible, so this was an opportunity that we just couldn't pass on."
GET INVOLVED! CONDATE RECORDS and the 5 bands on the split EP being released in May 2011 are having a hard time coming up with a worthy title, (too many cooks, or something like that), so they are offering one lucky person the chance to have a title of theirs etched into metal history. One lucky winner who comes up with an appropriate title for the split will win a copy of the split in all its glory, signed by the bands, plus some other goodies from each of the bands thrown in including badges, promo CD's, a couple of drummers, a drunk singer or two and T-Shirts.

About the bands:
Colonel Blast
Formed in the North-West of England in 2008, COLONEL BLAST has spent two years perfecting their aggressive sound and earning a reputation for their ferocious live act, supporting acts such as Ted Maul and Amputated. In 2010 COLONEL BLAST's line up evolved with the introduction of Hecate Enthroned guitarist Andy Milnes, ensuring their live sound is even heavier than before. The band culminated 2010 with an appearance on the Terrorizer stage at DAMNATION FESTIVAL in Leeds supporting the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan, Discharge, Fukpig and Anaal Nathrakh.

MAGPYES formed as a 3-piece in late 2004 and set out to play crushing, high-speed grindcore with short yet brutal live sets. After stirring a cult following mainly via word-of-mouth, and successful reviews in Terrorizer Magazine and online websites, MAGPYES have refined a signature blackened-grind sound and performed energetic shows alongside the likes of Brutal Truth, Wodensthrone, Winterfylleth, Dragged Into Sunlight and Extreme Noise Terror.

Cancerous Womb
Cancerous Womb are a Death Metal / Grind quartet from Edinburgh, founded in 2008, who focus on delivering a mixture of Modern Death Metal, early Grind / Thrash and a slither of Progressive-Technical influence. With catchy and creative passages and an unconvential approach to song structures, Cancerous Womb captivate audiences with an originally lethal yet highly accessible style of Extreme Death Metal.

DYSCAPHIA formed in 2008, setting foot into a world too perturbed by change and too emasculated by watered-down forms of entertainment, their sole intent: playing death metal that was not only brutal and as technical as their musicianship allowed, but also original and unlike that of their peers. After honing their new material and salvaging the best from their previous incarnation, DYSCAPHIA have earned a slew positive feedback from various sources for their 2009 demo and took to the stage in the same year. Currently preparing to enter the studio, DYSCAPHIA have been variously described as "death/tech/grind", "blasting technical wizardry", but most recently "three men and a gaylord".

About Condate Records www.condaterecords.com
Condate Records is a small independent label based in the UK. There are a lot of us about, small record labels. In this day and age of technology, consumerism and step by step band creation anyone can create a product, and then watch it get lost within all the other people doing the same thing. "But you are doing the same thing yourself!" I hear you cry. This is where you and I will differ. We don't care about money. We don't care about trends. We aren't screaming for your attention. We don't care for your opinion. We support art. We want to do what we feel is honest and we cling to the idea that there are still people out there who care about music as an art form. We will carry on doing what we do regardless of popularity. Choose doing something over stagnating because that is what you are doing right now. If you have no passion for anything you aren't living your life. This is our passion.
