Pennsylvania based thrashers BELIEVER has just released the track listing and artwork for the highly anticipated release Gabriel, which will be the band’s Cesspool Recordings /Metal Blade Records debut (Cesspool is Howard Jones’ [Killswitch Engage] imprint label through Metal Blade). Gabriel will be available everywhere March 17^th, 2009.

“The artwork for Gabriel was born from the talents of Michael Rosner (Roz) and Eye Level Studios. Working with Roz and the Eye Level team has been nothing short of amazing.  The talent of these individuals is staggering and we found ourselves residing in the same crazy, pancake eating, warped dimension when it came to visual concepts.  We tossed many ideas around with Roz but the main focus was to have the artwork compliment the music and vice-versa.  Gabriel has been an artistic collaboration on many levels and the finished product truly highlights the incredible talents of Roz and the Eye Level team.  We're not finished yet, so stay tuned for more Believer/Eye Level madness.” Kurt Bachman

Gabriel track listing:

1.       Medwton

2.       A Moment In Prime

3.       Stoned

4.       Redshift

5.       History Of Decline

6.       The Need For Conflict

7.       Focused Lethality

8.       Shut Out The Sun

9.       The Brave

10.   Nonsense Mediated Decay

Formed in the mid eighties, BELIEVER gained worldwide recognition for their boundary-breaking, artistic form of extreme metal as a part of Roadrunner Records prog-metal/thrash campaign “The Breed Beyond” alongside Cynic and Pestilence. After a long hiatus, BELIEVER is back with an intense fury and the band’s new record, Gabriel, once again sees BELIEVER conquering new musical and artistic territory.  With an upgraded sound and songwriting that has been alluded to as a “sick, insane cross between Tool, Voivod, NIN, and Destruction”, BELIEVER’s 4^th release Gabriel shows a band simply not focused on regurgitating and reliving their past. To this end, Bachman and Daub have surrounded themselves with new creative blood in keyboardist/programmer Jeff King, guitarist Kevin Leaman and bassist/programmer Elton Nestler.  Securing a new home with legendary Metal Blade Records, BELIEVER is determined to win over fans of old and new with their brand of ‘Believer-esque’ metal.
