The past year, in spite of minimal updates, the band has been very much active. With the lack of performances, our energies have been focused entirely on the composition of our second album. As of right now, the album is taking shape very well as we are 70% complete. As always, we will do our best to ensure it is worth the wait.
Another long awaited split release is set to be announced shortly after some logistic / covid related complications clear up to allow proper pressing, promotion and distribution.

07/2020
Due to circumstances in the world and in our lives, it has been difficult to give a proper and extensive update on the state of the band over the last few months. Tours and performances for 2020 were announced and then promptly cancelled or postponed until next year. However,
We can announce that two releases for 2020 have materialized.
The first of which is a long in the works split with EVIL PRIEST from Peru, pressed on 7" and released on INVICTUS PRODUCTIONS.
The second of which is a live recording from the UK Date of last summer's tour, LIVE IN BRISTOL 2019. Initially released digitally on the band's BANDCAMP, soon to be released on tape byHEADSPLIT RECORDS, our first release with the label.
The last of our planned splits is being pressed right now. More information on that and obtaining copies of other recent releases will be posted shortly. Every release to date can be streamed on our BANDCAMP
Through the state of the world, we are still undergoing steady and consistent progress on our second full length, and are open to any and all discussions for future performances, no matter how soon or far off they may be.
11/2019
As of this year, our guitar player and co-founding member Ian Lawrence has returned to the band. All of our shows in 2019 were with him, our upcoming shows for 2020 are being planned with him, and new music is currently being written with him, which will mark a return to the original intent of the band.
I. LAWRENCE, LEAD GUITAR ASCENDED DEAD
We would like to give a special thanks to our guitar player of 2018, Kelly McLaughlin. All of our shows that year were with him, which was a very prosperous time for the band. Performances at Total Death Over Mexico City, Invoking Black Death Fest, Maryland Deathfest, and Killtown Deathfest, as was the recording of our two upcoming splits. Be sure to check out ÆNIGMATUM, a very musical and gnarly sounding project that invokes a similar feeling as Dissection, Molested, or The Chasm.
K. MCLAUGHLIN, GUITAR ASCENDED DEAD 2018
Our splits will be out in due time. Performances are being planned for 2020. We are also making progress on our second album and making improvements to our live show. Be sure to visit our Storenvy site for our current stock of merchandise.

Our split releases are currently being mastered and we are working on the layouts. We will announce their release when the time comes.
Progress has been made in the composing of our second album. We have very general and very specific ideas for 9 songs and hope to compose another to make it another 10 song album. As with our previous releases going back to our demo, EP, and full length, it represents another musical step forward while maintaining the energy. We will unleash it to the world when the time is right.
More information on represses of our earlier releases as well as a promo tape for our European excursion will be announced shortly.

Thanks to Daniel and the organizers at Killtown Deathfest for getting us to Europe for the first time. We are honored to have played with so many great bands.
Recent circumstances were binding, and it has been some time since our last update. That chaos is behind us, as a previous logistic setback has been lifted, and we now aim forward into a new era.
The instrument tracking for our next (split) releases are finished. Vocals are the next and final tracking to be done, which is set to happen in a couple of weeks. We assure you it will be well worth the wait.

Our Merchandise page has been updated to have everything that we currently have. Included is a new patch design of our logo/sigil.
For clarification, there is another site you may purchase our merch from. It is ran by C. Koryn and the orders are shipped from his residence. You may make orders there, or you may make orders here. Either way supports the band.
11/2017
California Deathfest and the tour with Merciless was a success. Thanks to Perdition Booking, Merciless, Church of the 8th Day, and everyone who supported the shows.
Abhorrent Manifestation shirts were unable to reach us for the shows as their shipment was delayed due to the recent California fires. We now have them in our possession and they are available for purchase. Contact us if you would like one. Our logo/sigil shirts are currently unavailable, but we will get some printed shortly.
There has been a lineup change as the band has parted ways with lead guitarist I. LAWRENCE. The recent CDF/Southwest excursion was our last with him, at least for a time. We are extremely grateful to Ian as he has had a heavy hand in musically shaping this band from day 1. We are still comrades, and we wish him the best with his other pursuits, musical and otherwise.
I. LAWRENCE, LEAD GUITAR ASCENDED DEAD 2011-2017
We now shift our focus to 2018. The lineup change will not affect our plans for our scheduled performance at Invoking Black Death Fest in May. We will continue forth writing for our next release, adding songs to our live set, and working with a prospective guitarist.
Lastly, in the coming months there will be changes to this website as we hope to have a more accessible webstore, as well as other functional/technical upgrades. If you recently inquired via email, expect a reply very shortly.
10/2017
The Dark Descent Records 8th Anniversary show went well. Special thanks to Matt Calvert for bringing us there and for the hospitality, we could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks to the members of Spectral Voice / Blood Incantation for assisting with equipment and other provisions, and to everyone who came to support.
We now shift our focus to California Deathfest and the ensuing Southwest performances with Merciless. If everything goes according to plan, we will have new merchandise available at the shows. Due to timing and other circumstances, we will update them to this site when the dates are finished.
Tapes are now available. We unfortunately did not receive very many, so ours will go quickly. You may also obtain them from the Dark Descent and Invictus Productions distros.
Despite not having a conventional webstore, our shirts have gone quickly and we are already out of some sizes. As such, we will do another merch load very soon. If you wish to obtain one, contact us so that we can make sure one is printed and set aside for you.
We are confirmed to play the Dark Descent Records 8th Anniversary Show in Denver, Colorado on Saturday Sep 30. We will add the flier here once it is updated to have us on it. Tickets can be purchased here.
We are pleased to announce that we will be doing performances with Swedish DeathThrash legends MERCILESS. We will be heading South after California Deathfest for 3 exclusive West Coast dates. These will likely be our final performances for 2017. Information on the specific dates will be posted as they are solidified.
07/2017
Shirts have finally arrived from our supplier. If you inquired about shirts or other merch, expect to be followed up via email.
More performances for 2017 will be announced very shortly.

ASCENDEDDEAD.COM is our primary means of online announcements and communications.
Other pages such as our Facebook and Bandcamp will be loosely maintained as a front for this domain.
The CD and digital version of "ABHORRENT MANIFESTATION" was released on 3/17/2017 and the LP version on 05/24/2017. A tape version is on the way. You may order it online somewhere or you may contact us directly for copies.
--We recommend the LP and Tape versions, as the analog master is superior to the CD/Digital version as well as the songs having their intended side A/B orientation.
The bass player on ABHORRENT MANIFESTATION is J. AQUINO. We feel his bass performance is one of the highlights of the album and we are extremely grateful for his contributions to the band from 2015-2016. K. SCHREUTELKAMP is our bass player as of 2017 and going forward. As always, we are working on new songs at our own pace and will unleash them when the time is right.
We will be playing CALIFORNIA DEATHFEST on the weekend of 10/13-10/14/2017. More shows for 2017 are being worked on and will be announced as they are solidified.
