Extreme metal with a purpose, DAATH is poised to emerge as one of the most exciting new bands of 2007 with its Roadrunner debut, The Hinderers. Fusing elements of death, thrash and black metal with technical virtuosity and a decidedly Atlanta groove, the 13 songs comprising The Hinderers showcase the crushing power of this Georgia six-piece. DAATH is a Hebrew word meaning knowledge, referring to a knowledge not regularly attained by ordinary masses. Says keyboardist and conceptualist Mike Kameron, "On a mental level, DAATH acts as a doorway between instinct and intellect, and in our opinion the struggle between those two aspects of mind is what causes most of the ills in the world." The Hinderers was produced by James Murphy (Disincarnate; ex-Death, Testament, Obituary) and co-produced by DAATH. James Murphy and guitarist Eyal Levi engineered the record with the help of Andy Sneap, while Colin Richardson mixed the album.
