Death metal icons MASTER recently completed the recording of their upcoming Pulverised full-length The Human Machine. The mixing/mastering process is currently underway.

Said MASTER founder/frontman Paul Speckmann of the new long player: “I’m very happy with the way things have turned out; it’ll be killer to finally have a CD released once again on a professional label such as Pulverised. Things look very good on the horizon with Brazilian and European tours coming soon. See you on the road my friends.”

Added Pulverised Records A&R manager Calvin Chiang: “Paul sent me two blistering tracks from the upcoming new MASTER album last night and I was absolutely blown away by how much authentic brutality they still retain, coming from a band with an almost 30-year history. This is probably more oldschool and ferocious than their previous few efforts. It is exactly how fans of MASTER would imagine a new album to be; no one will be disappointed!”

MASTER are scheduled for a Brazilian tour later this month, followed by two back-to-back European tours in support of The Human Machine. Confirmed dates thus far below. More dates TBA:
