With Screams From Beneath The Surface arriving this Friday, MONSTROSITY founding drummer and primary songwriter Lee Harrison has given a candid new interview discussing the band's seven-year absence from recording.
"We could have put something out three or four years ago," Harrison said. "But it wasn't ready. We refused to put out a half-finished record with the Monstrosity name on it. The fans deserve better than that."
Harrison also spoke about the decision to bring back original bassist Mark Van Erp, the addition of new vocalist Ed Webb (ex-Massacre), and recording across both Audiohammer and Morrisound — two studios with deep roots in the history of Florida death metal. The returning lineup, he says, gave the record an authenticity that had been missing in the band's more recent iterations.
"When Mark came back in, it clicked immediately," Harrison said. "There was a chemistry there that we hadn't had in a long time."
