Benediction
Veteran British death metallers Benediction were formed
back in 1989,
and is notable for once featuring vocalist Barney Greenway --
he sang for both Benediction and
Napalm Death
before touring commitments forced him to choose the latter band.
Having overcome the usual lineup changes and so forth,
the band remains one of Britain's longest-lasting and most
successful death metal bands, dealing almost exclusively
in old-school classic death metal, giving them a resemblance
to several of the Floridian bands of the time.
After several years of relative inactivity, work started
on a new album, originally scheduled for 2005 but finally released
in the summer of 2008.
