The label released the following statement: "We are extremely proud to release the new album of this amazing American band that has been inexplicably overseen until now. Expect one of the best Blasphemous Darkened Death Metal albums that you've heard in the past decade, blowing away with ease all their past efforts and the greatest majority of today's generic and over-hyped Death Metal bands. Prepare to be initiated to Drawn And Quartered's suffocating darkness!
"As a teaser to the album, we will release a 7-inch EP that will feature two new songs taken from the upcoming album plus two new songs exclusive to the EP."
Drawn and Quartered's latest album, Merciless Hammer of Lucifer, was released in 2007 via Moribund Cult.
