Release Notes:

When a band calls Indiana home, it's already got hurdles to climb.
With a state best known for car racing and corn stalks as its stomping
grounds, YEAR OF DESOLATION is one of those bands that just has to let
their music do the talking. No fashion, no dancing in the pit, and no
singing, just playing music that's unabashedly metal, and can win fans
over night after night on technicality and sheer musicianship alone.

Metal, after all, is what it's all about for YEAR OF DESOLATION.
Melodic inspirations aside, as long as the songs are thrashingly
heavy, fast, and uncompromising, this band doesn't need to fall back
on conventional verse-chorus-verse-chorus song construction or
gimmicky flavor of the week styles to appeal to the metalhead inside
us all. Instead, the band sticks to their guns, and plays music they
want to hear, music that's fast, heavy, brutal, and still melodic
enough to contain memorable riffs and leads, creating songs that stand
apart from each other. With the January 2007 release of YEAR OF
DESOLATION' Prosthetic debut, a self-titled effort, that's exactly the
combination that will help replace faith in modern metal music without
gimmicks.
