Texas-based CLERIC is a vile death metal faction featuring members of Kill the Client, Baring Teeth, and Tyrannosorceress. Recorded by Garry Brents (Kill The Client, Phobia, Noisear) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Nails, Integrity), their debut LP, Gratum Inferno, was released by Dallas-based Tofu Carnage in September 2013. The LP boasts nearly a half-hour of CLERIC’s Stockholm-bred but Americanized death through seven hymns of debauchery, with haunting horror-soundtrack elements permeating from deep within its hellish core. Mastered at 45rpm for superior sound quality, the LP is pressed on 200-gram, translucent yellow wax with blood red and milky clear splatter and features heavyweight spot-varnish printed jackets, gold foil-stamped inner-sleeve graphics and bears insane cover art was masterminded by Jason Barnett (Noothgrush, etc.).
