recruited former Cellador guitarist Bill Hudson to join them on the road for the upcoming Metal Blade Records Fresh Meat Tour. Epicurean will be hitting the road in support of their Metal Blade Records debut A Consequence of Design, which was released on March 4th 2008. The Fresh Meat Tour, presented by MetalSucks.net, featuring The Absence, The Destro, Epicurean, and Rose Funeral will kick off on June 19th in Richland, New Jersey
We're really excited to have Bill out with us on the Metal Blade Fresh Meat Tour. We think Bill’s a great fit and we're really excited to hit the road and play some shows with him!” Epicurean
"It will be a pleasure to share the stage (and the bus) with Epicurean during the Fresh Meat Tour in June/July. They are my favorite band to come out through Metal Blade in a while, and I'm excited to see how this will work out. I'm sure this will be really fun, plus it's great to be back in the Metal Blade family!" Bill Hudson
Epicurean utilizes a feverish twin guitar attack, viciously heavy vocals mixed with clean melodic vocals, a brutal rhythm section, and keyboards to create their brand of unique symphonic, yet aggressive music.
“Power metal in structure and death metal in drum beats, A Consequence of Design is a colossal record that gallops without letup as if the devil were hot on Epicurean’s heels.” - Metal Maniacs Magazine
“Epicurean’s sound veers from Mercenary-like grandeur to Hypocrisy-style bludgeon, with plenty of Bodom bite and Amott widdle…” – Terrorizer
“even a single listen to A Consequence of Design reveals a band that is made up of extremely talented musicians and songwriters… melodic and at times symphonic, made up of tight, syncopated rhythms and enriched with layers of lush keyboards, pianos, and soaring lead guitar work… With this amount of power, beauty, skill, and intensity wrapped up into a single, tuneful package, A Consequence of Design makes an impressive introduction.” - Outburn
“Most importantly what Epicurean have done is brought the keyboards, melodies, and a fantastic understanding of metal back to life in a genre that has been belittled to breakdowns and growls.” - somethingpunk.com
“The songs are aggressive, but very catchy. The dual guitars weave intricate riffs and solos while the keyboards add the atmosphere and symphonic elements... A Consequence of Design is an interesting debut, as Epicurean shows some originality and songwriting skill.” - about.com
