Sacramento’s DIRE PERIL Release Artwork, Tracklisting For The Extraterrestrial Compendium Debut

Sacramento, California based power metal band Dire Peril have released the artwork and track list for their upcoming full length debut album The Extraterrestrial Compendium to be released during 2016.

Dire Peril guitarist Jason Ashcraft has checked in with the following comment:

“The band just ran a successful Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the new album and as a promise for reaching our stretch goal, we are releasing the album cover artwork and tracklist early to the public. The artwork was created by french artist Gwen Vibancos.”

Tracklisting:

“TMA-0”
“Yautja (Hunter Culture)”
“Planet Preservation”
“Enemy Mine”
“The Visitor”
“Altar IV: The Forbidden Planet”
“Total Recall”
“Queen Of The Galaxy”
“Roughnecks”
“Blood In The Ice”
“Riddick’s Fury”
“TMA-1”
“A Space Odyssey”

The album will be mixed by Carlos Alvarez of Dirty Viking Audio Productions and will ultimately be mastered in France at Tower Studios (Ayreon, Megadeth).

Jason states: “The new version of the song ‘Queen Of The Galaxy’ (2015) is a re-recording from the band’s EP of the same name and will once again feature Unleash the Archers vocalist Brittney Slayes. I always knew I would want to redo a song from one of the first Dire Peril EP’s as the production was never quite there in terms of what I wanted for the band. When the time came to choose a song, I felt this one fit the theme of the album perfectly.

“The theme behind the album is that each song is based off a different sci-fi related film: Predator, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Enemy Mine, K-PAX, Forbidden Planet, Total Recall, Barbarella, Starship Troopers, The Thing, The Riddick Series and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

“I can’t wait to get this album out. It has been a long time coming for Dire Peril to release a full length and honestly something that should have happened long ago. We are hard at work right now getting this album recorded and more news will follow to include the album release date.”
