Official: Carbonized RecordsOut now
The West Coast primitive death metal cult capture their live show after two studio albums.
The story
Ascended Dead have released Live Apocalypse through Carbonized Records. The band formed in 2011 and cite early Possessed, Necrovore and Venom as their inspiration.
Their debut full-length, Abhorrent Manifestation (2017), took them beyond Southern California, and Evenfall Of The Apocalypse followed in 2023. Members are now based across Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.

Our take
Primitive, chaotic death metal lives on stage more than in the studio, so a live album is a fitting next step for a band built on early Possessed. Carbonized has become a reliable home for this cavernous, old-school end of the scene.
Bottom line
For fans of Necrovore, early Possessed and cavernous death metal. Out now on Carbonized.
