US death metal legends MONSTROSITY present their video for “Banished To The Skies,” the ferocious opening track of their “Screams From Beneath The Surface” full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records.
Drummer Lee Harrison wrote the song during the mixing sessions for MONSTROSITY‘s previous album, “The Passage Of Existence”. It features dark, melodic sections with Mark Van Erp‘s basslines standing out distinctly. Intricate hi-hat and ride cymbal patterns blend with Harrison‘s signature double bass drumming. Matt Barnes‘ iconic solo kicks off the track, delivering a powerful, crushing dynamic to the song. A killer performance from new vocalist Ed Webb tops off the track. The video for the song was captured in Nashville, Tennessee, by Inferi guitarist Malcolm Pugh.

- Banished to the Skies

The recording process spanned multiple studios to achieve sonic perfection. Drums, bass, and mixing were handled at Audiohammer Studios under the expert guidance of producer Jason Suecof (The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide, Job For A Cowboy), while vocals, guitars, and mastering took place at the legendary Morrisound Studios, where MONSTROSITY reunited with revered producer Jim Morris (Iced Earth, Warrant, Savatage), alongside Mark Prator and BJ Ramone. This combination of cutting-edge and classic production techniques ensures a punishing sound that is honoring the band’s storied history while embracing modern death metal’s evolution.
