Vocalist Henrik Blomqvist commented on Rat King: "We are delighted to finally be finished with the recording of our second album, entitled Rat King, which will be out in October via Metal Blade. The album - mixed and mastered by Plec at Panic Room Studios - features artwork by Mark Riddick, as well as by Sven de Caluwe of the mighty ABORTED, and nine epic songs of skull crushing death metal mayhem and darkness. It feels like we've taken everything we do to a whole new level on this one, and we can't wait to get out on the road and play these songs live. This new material is INTENSE, although at the same time a lot more varied and dynamic than what we've done in the past. Keep your eyes and ears open friends. Death! Destruction!! GOATS!"

AS YOU DROWN in writing mode for second album!
Swedish death metallers AS YOU DROWN commenced writing material for the bands as of yet untitled sophomore album to be released next year via Metal Blade Records worldwide. The follow up to Reflection will be recorded at the bands own AYD Studio in Borås Sweden.
The band recently commented on the new material and the writing process: "Since coming home from our tour with VADER and DIVINE CHAOS earlier this year, we've been working hard on some new material. Right now we've got our sights set on recording some time in the spring, which means the record will hopefully be out in the early fall. The material is sounding very promising/menacing so far, so prepare yourselves for a tidal wave of death metal insanity coming your way…
Also, we're obviously looking to do some serious touring in 2011, stay tuned for dates. We pretty much can't wait to get this beast back on the road and we expect to see all of you crazy fuckers out there!"
AS YOU DROWN's debut album Reflection was released in July 2009 via Metal Blade worldwide. In addition to appearing at multiple open air festivals during summer the band toured Europe with VADER as part of the Blitzkrieg 5 Tour in February. Live fan filmed footage of "Swallow" can be found at the link below:

A video trailer including snippets of the album can be viewed on http://vids.myspace.com or http://www.youtube.com
'Reflection' was produced in The AYD Studio, mixed/mastered at Studio Mega by Christian Silver (The Crown, Sonic Syndicate, IMPIOUS) and released on the 3rd/6th of July 2009 through Metal Blade Records in Europe.
AS YOU DROWN video trailer available! Contest up on MySpace!
[02/07/09] Swedish up and rising Death Metal stars AS YOU DROWN have posted a video trailer supporting their upcoming debut album 'Reflection', which is set for release tomorrow / Monday! Click on http://vids.myspace.com or http://www.youtube.com to check out the video trailer!
The band is also running a contest on their MySpace site, where you can win the new CD and brand new T-shirts. Winning is easy, click on http://blogs.myspace.com to check their blog for further details! Contest is only up until July 5th, so hurry up!
Delivering some of the most memorable, intense and catchy Death Metal to date, AS YOU DROWN was born to combine the speed and brutality of the modern Death Metal scene with the atmosphere and catchy songwriting of its old-school predecessor. Adding a number of outside influences, the result is an always raging - yet always changing, storm of anger, brutality and finesse.
Their debut album will surely appeal to fans of such artists as Decapitated, CANNIBAL CORPSE, Behemoth or JOB FOR A COWBOY, but should also be able to catch the attention of almost any fan of brutal, creative and honest Metal – ranging from those who enjoy the surgical precision of Meshuggah to those who get their fill from blasting death legends like Morbid Angel.
Tracklisting 'Reflection':
1. Ruins And Dead Ends
2. Horns
3. What Is Worst
4. Driven By Hatred
5. Swallow
6. The Last
7. Open Wound Salvation
8. Ashes
9. Needles
