Master are streaming Dust's Arrival, taken from Among The Seeds Of Death, which is out on 16 October through Hammerheart Records. The album has nine tracks: Twas Always a Plan, Among the Seeds of Death, Injustice and Lack of Remorse, A Cell with a Door and No Slave, Unsettled Loss, Within My Grasp, Watch as Children Burn, Dust's Arrival and Let's Revoke. Dust's Arrival is the eighth and runs four minutes and twenty four seconds.

BraveWords, which carried the single first, describes the band as old-school death metal veterans and notes that Paul Speckmann has never bent to whichever trend was current. That is the accurate way to put it: the records have sounded like this since the 1980s, and the lack of movement is deliberate rather than an inability to move.

How this one sounds: mid-paced, riff first, drums pushed forward, vocals barked rather than growled low, and nothing on top of the mix that was not played. Two weeks out from the album it is a sample rather than an argument, which on a Master record is usually how it works.
