Tim CommerfordComments:"We are gearing up to be on the offensive, assaulting the populous with our debut album on Earache Records. We have put a shit load of blood and sweat into this and we want it back! Our mission is to attack modern music and smash the grid. Unapologetic, unrelenting, unbridled and uncensored. Understood?"

Earache'sTom Hadfieldadds:"We are so excited to be working with Tim Commerford. Since Rage Against The Machine, there has been a distinct lack of politically-charged bands around. Corruption is everywhere and those responsible for the inequality and suffering need to be held accountable. What better place than here, what better time than now."

Earache Records is one of the true independent pioneers of music and is famous for raging against the mainstream with many controversial and politically-charged acts, launching the careers of genre-leading names such asNapalm Death,Carcass,Godflesh,The Dillinger Escape Plan,and more recentlyRival Sons.
