MISANTHROPIC AGGRESSION announce their filthy and diabolical new 7" EP titled, "Alcoholic Polyneuropathic Freaks in Hell" to be released on April 20th via Boris Records. Three tracks of d-beat, black crusty thrash with old school death freak vibes.
The band are streaming the title track from the blistering new EP today at Decibel Magazine. About the track and new EP, the band comments:
"We are very pleased to finally be releasing APNFIH, as we came to label this composition during its lengthy writing process. It is a major evolutionary addition to our corpus, being the culmination of the expression of many different influences which have been latent in our previous works, but not so pronounced as here."
"As far as writing procedure goes, our main sources of inspiration during the sessions were Grave's songs 'Hating Life' and 'For Your God,' as well as Unleashed's album Across the Open Sea, specifically for being able to coax so much ground out of one motif; though, this is not to say that the death metal element to our music has become any more overt, as our primary influence still remains Darkthrone in their ability to create so much dynamism from a single variation on riff and rhythm. Perhaps most important to this piece, however, is that it is intensely and uniquely personal, as it exposits and documents a struggle with alcohol-induced neuropathy, which is an affliction characterized by sensations in the extremities ranging from uncomfortable tingling to debilitating pain, as well as the mental repercussions of such a struggle. The song opens with an excerpt from a reading of James Dickey's poem 'Under Buzzards,' which provides an uncanny reflection of the moods and characteristics we tried to portray in our own lyrics."
7" vinyl and digital pre-order are available now via Boris Records.
Atlanta diabolical black-death thrashers, MISANTHROPIC AGGRESSION will release a three song 7" titled, Alcoholic Polyneuropathic Freaks in Hell on April 20th via Boris Records. Corrosive old school death & black metal worship fuel the bands latest offering of tongue-in-cheek wild thrash in an orgy of scathing riffage. With Deceased-styled melodic sentiments, acrimonious and decrepit vocals, encrusted d-beats, and fearless audacity, MISANTHROPIC AGGRESSION make music for sick death metal freaks and black metal thrashers alike.
Established in 2017 over a night of debauchery and the trios love for Celtic Frost and Hellhammer, MISANTHROPIC AGGRESSION came to life and immediately staked claim in the Atlanta heavy metal underground. Charged by depression and sociopathology, the trio found catharsis in delivering maniacal and infectious riffs. APFIH was recorded over the winter of 2020 by the band and then mastered by Damian Herring (Horrendous) at Subterranean Watchtower.
Vinyl and digital pre-order is available now via Boris Records.
