SAPREMIA sign with open grave[views:5850][posts:8]______________________________________ [Mar 17,2007 1:16pm - the_reverend ""] Recently resurrected New Jersey Death Metal fiends, SAPREMIA have inked a two record deal with Open Grave Records. The first release to be a split CD with label mates EXTERMINANCE in August of 2007, followed by a brand new full length in late 2007 / early 2008. SAPREMIA was born in the early 1990's as a five piece. After many line-up changes, the main stay worked out being a four piece unit with dual lead vocals. This lineup (Lou Ferrara bass/vocals, Jay Lipitz guitar/vocals, Brian Rulli guitar, Dave Knauer drums) was constant through two successful demo releases "Subconscious Rot" in 1992 and "Existence of Torture" in 1994. Shortly after “Existence” was launched, Jay left for greener pastures and SAPREMIA stayed active in the scene for another year or so as a three piece. Now, 10 years later, the lineup features Lou Ferrara (bass/vocals), Brian Valenti (guitar), and Brian Rulli (guitar) and Ryan Hill on the skins. Since their return in 2006 SAPREMIA remastered their original demos and released it under the titled, “ Subconscious Existence”, as well as playing shows all over the East Coast. |
