Death metal act Fragments Of Unbecoming will release their new album "Sterling Black Icon" on March 24th. See below for the artwork and the press release:

„Sterling Black Icon“ is a masterpiece of Death Metal with loads of eerie and haunting melodies. Brutal but melodic, technical but catchy, FOU combine all the extremes of Death Metal in a massive album. No mercy for the weak!

Comments guitarist Sascha Ehrich: “„Sterling Black Icon“ – the 3rd chapter in the history of FRAGMENTS OF UNBECOMING – takes us miles of steps closer to the sophistication of the characteristic songwriting we`ve ever been standing for and nevertheless believe in: “Swedish Styled Death Metal” (… from Tyskland by the way). With a new 5th face (Sam Anetzberger) on the front, we finally could play with a more variable double vocal performance that highly enriches every single song. We are proud announcing that the entire material got catchier and much more melodic but not less aggressive!

One hookline persues the next, one twin melody drifts into another - beauties and beasts never were that close to each other!”

The production of „Sterling Black Icon“ went out great due to the excellent mix and mastering work of Christoph Brandes at the Iguana Studios (e.g. Necrophagist, etc.).

Glad to add that the outward appearance was done in cooperation with Niklas Sundin and Groundfrost.
