In the beginning of 2017 Azarath rejoined forces with Agonia Records and released on 7th April 2017 album "In Extremis" (meaning "at the point of death” in Latin), yet another apex reached by the band. The effort places Azarath back at the fore of the genre, with strong ties to the group's early cult albums. Black as a night and dense as tar, "In Extremis” offers a whirlwind of chaotic currents ready to overwhelm. We caught Bart to answer few questions about current state of band and some future plans OO Re gee ee ye Hey!

The debut fall-length album catitled, "Summoned To Rise,” was recorded and mixed by Rios and features guest drummers Dirk Verbueren (MEGADETH, cx-SOILWORK) and Tobias Gustafsson (VOMITORY, GOD MACABRE & TOIRTURE DIVISION). The rest of the drums onthe album were handled by Gus Rios and Alex Marquez.

I was very fortunate to have some good friends who are KILLER drummers and who are also very gracious with their time and talents. Matt Harvey came on board at the end because there were 3 songs left to record and Alex moved away without any studio access and it fit in with the Gus Rios and friends theme that was already in motion. Why so many drummers? Is it marketing, need for different drumming style in different songs or just for sake of having fun with lot of friends? Can you share the credits for each song? Tve always been a guitar player and after so many albums as a drummer | wanted to approach an album as a guitar player.
