The UK-based extreme metal act DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT have fittingly premiered their new album “Widowmaker” on the grimmest day of the year exclusively in North America via Exclaim.ca HERE. Hailed as a main contender for “Album of the Year” honors by the likes of Revolver and MSN, “Widowmaker” — in stores next week — has been described by the band as “everything heavier and everything louder than everything else.”
Recorded in three sessions by producer Tom Dring, the three-track, 40-minute album has been described as “a train wreck of blackened glory” (About.com) and “the strung-out heartbreak of sludge, noise, and dark country” (Revolver). You can pre-order the album along with exclusive merchandise via the PROSTHETIC webstore HERE.
DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT — who hide their identities by appearing masked in photos, as well as playing with their backs to the audience in almost complete darkness — were most recently seen doing the summer festival circuit (including appearances at Roadburn and Maryland Death Fest) as well as touring with the likes of Godflesh, Morbid Angel, Electric Wizard, and Cough.

About the Author
Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
First off, Fritz isn't my real name. It's a nickname I've had for so long, that I forget sometimes that my real name is Paul. So for all intents and purposes all you fine people can call me Fritz.
Anyway I'm one of the co-founders of Axis Of Metal, which I created out of a love for all things heavy. Admittedly my first foray into music wasn't so heavy. At twelve i developed a love for grunge music, which then lead to a love of classic rock, and punk. Then as I consumed almost every piece of music in said genres I needed something with a bit more intensity, and something more extreme. One day I was walking through the halls in my high school, and i heard music blasting out of someone's headphones, and it was exactly what I was looking for. So after I found out that it was Slayer's "Disciple" I went home that day, and listened to every song Slayer had ever released, and that's how it all started.
So that's my story, so why not go out and listen to me blabber on, on the podcast or go and read what the Axis Of Metal's writing team has to say. Axis of Metal is created by metal heads, for metal heads.
