AVAILABLE NOW; CORRUPT LEADERS "GRINDMOTHER"

Ontario's grindcore heroes Corrupt Leaders have a new EP that kicks you in the ass and leaves faster than most bands get started. Four tracks and the longest one is 50 seconds. This sucks, because these four songs are fantastic and could use about twenty friends for a truly satisfying experience. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU FROM DOWNLOADING THIS EP NOW AND/OR BUYING THE 5" WHEN ITS RELEASED IN APRIL!
Comparing it to their first EP (s/t) I'm not sure if Grindmother is an evolution or de-evolution for Corrupt Leaders. On the debut the songs stretch from a little over a minute to a near prog-rocking three minutes. Grindmother takes all the debut's rage and fire and boils it down to it's white hot essence. The band as a whole is tight, but I have to give it the rhythm section for standing out in this blur of sonic fury.
Grindmother is a true aural assault even in it's brevity and check out that witchy album cover!

Here's my favorite track on the album, "Beaten Path"!

HOTH RELEASES CASSETTE EDITION OF EPIC "OATHBREAKER" WITH AWESOME BONUS TRACK!

(press release from Blackout PR)

Blackened extreme metallers HOTH have reissued their highly-acclaimed sophomore album "Oathbreaker" on cassette format via Portland-based Death Culture Tapes.  It is available to order here.

The limited run of 100 cassettes will include a free sticker and an exclusive bonus track (a Chiptune version of "Serpentine Whispers", which you can check out here).     

"Oathbreaker" is an 8-song, 55-minute opus that "follows the story of an individual from his conception and follows him down a path that grows darker and darker. We wanted to create something that sounded mighty and hopeful in the beginning but spiraled into dreary, black despair by the end."

The Seattle-based duo, consisting of David Dees and Eric Peters, formed in 2011 and released their debut album "Infinite Darkness", the following year. More than just a follow-up to it's precursor, "Oathbreaker" is the work of a matured band possessing the rare ability to fully realize an artistic vision.

 Tracklist:

1. The Unholy Conception (7:22)
2. A Blighted Hope (5:26)
3. Cryptic Nightmares (6:27)
4. Serpentine Whispers (5:24)
5. Acolyte of the Tenebrous Night (7:11)
6. Unending Power (8:11)
