FINAL DEPRAVITY Provide Year-End Update And Present New Logo

German Ruhr Area thrashers FINAL DEPRAVITY check in with a year-end update and present their new logo:

“Friends & companions, we don’t want to let you enter 2013 without sharing a brief year-end update and latest mission reports with you guys.

2012 was the 5th year of Final Depravity since the very beginnings on December 21, 2007 and once more, change was the formula.

Tristan Maiwurm left us in January 2012 to concentrate on studying drums in the Netherlands.

Our one and only candidate was Jerome Reil from Essen-Karnap - first rehearsals with our new drummer began early February. For those familiar with his last name, Jerome is the son of Kreator drummer Jürgen “Ventor” Reil.

Recordings for the second album Thrash Is Just The Beginning started in July and we’re currently recording final vocal parts and some clean guitars. Mixing will be finished mid January, and Dennis Koehne (Sodom, Exumer, The Very End) is totally entitled to give the album the ultimate punch at mastering then.

We would have preferred to let you hear new thrashing tracks now to commemorate this occasion, but we’re not quite ready to do so yet.

Instead, we proudly present the new Final Depravity logo before this year ends! So many changes had to be expressed by something as new as the band itself, and our own Jerome Reil has designed and drawn this mean bastard of a band logo!

All of us here at FD HQ wish you and your families a safe trip over to 2013, we’re gonna keep preparing some Thrash Metal for you to kick off January the right way.

Thanks everybody!
Thrash is just the beginning...”
