ALTERED STATE SIGN WORLDWIDE DEAL WITH PURE STEEL RECORDS
Pure Steel Records are proud to announce an unearthed piece of Heavy Metal History brought to you by none other than US Progressive/Power Metal band ALTERED STATE. The band, founded in 1989 by Bassist Chris Fredericks, Guitarists John Orrio and Doug Taylor formed an alliance that would leave its mark in the Metal World for many years to come. With the addition of former Deadly Blessing vocalist SKI, then later, the bands drummer Todd Deputy completed the definitive line-up for ALTERED STATE. The band, seemingly, had all their pieces in place but due to consistent touring and recording the band disbanded, unequivocally, in 1991. Fast forward to 2019, the very unreleased demo that has become, at some point, a tape traders sensation will be released OFFICIALLY for the first time through PURE STEEL RECORDS. More details will be forthcoming in the weeks and months leading to this special, exclusive release! LINE-UP: Ski (ex-Deadly Blessing, ex-Zygo, ex-Obliterate, ex-Cloud Thirteen, ex-Faith Factor, Rightful Heir, Metal Godz) - vocals John Orrio (ex-Optimus Prime, ex-Cloud Thirteen, ex-This Creature, Hillside Moan) - guitars Doug Taylor (ex-Cloud Thirteen, ex-Moonseed) - guitars Chris Fredericks (ex-Cloud Thirteen, ex-Moonseed, Hillside Moan) – bass Todd Deputy (ex-Black Magic, ex-Cloud Thirteen, ex-Spur) – drums Link www.facebook.com/AlteredStateBandNJ/

Due to many publications the well known musicians, especially Andreas Püschel, who was already active in the 80s in German heavy metal bands like HAMMERSCHMITT or ASGARD, have decided to use German as a vocal language.
German is sung by some bands; The combination of classic 80s influenced Heavy Metal with German lyrics is very rare and therefore particularly attractive. In addition, they have won a female and a male vocalist, which pump up the songs additionally with their strong voices. If you are looking for new ideas in the traditional heavy metal area, you will find it with the band ASCHEREGEN. From steam hammer songs to almost philosophical pieces (especially textual), a wide range of catchy song material is represented here. So listen in and make your own judgment !!
