BENCHPRESS and MARTYR’S TONGUE have unveiled a full stream of their amazing new split via NoCleanSinging magazine. Listen to the full record below and scroll down to read the official press release!
Out now on Get This Right Records is the bellowing split EP between Pennsylvania-basedย BENCHPRESSย and Puerto Ricoโsย MARTYRโS TONGUE, with each act filling a side of this brutal 7โ platter with two new tracks.
With the malevolence of this persuasive joint effort now out on the streets for public devouring, No Clean Singing is now streaming the entire split, stating theBENCHPRESSย tracks on the A-side โโinflict the punishment with thick, rebar-strength riffs delivered in both flashing jabs and brutal hammer blows, with squalling feedback leading to thunderous breakdowns. And you can feel the vocalistโs jugular veins coming apart violently as he vents his venom. Merciless and heavy-grooved, these tracks will make your bad moods murderous.โ The write-up continues with the B-side tracks, stating howย MARTYRโS TONGUEย โtake their lead from metal/hardcore outfits like Ringworm and Integrity, but have upped the ante with black electronic noise, blast-beat flurries, and a sound thatโs completely caked with grit and grime,โ continuing, โFor people who like their hardcore heavy as hell and stinking of sulphur, you need Martyrโs Tongue on your radar screen.โ
Orders for the split โ available on several colors of vinyl, each including a download code โ can be placed at the Get This Right merch storeย HERE.
BENCHPRESSย has confirmed a record release show in Lansdale, Pennsylvania joining Dysphoria, CDC, Frost Giant and others, taking place next Friday, May 23rd. Both bands will announce new live attacks in the coming weeks in support of the split and beyond. Stay frosty.
BENCHPRESS Live:
5/23/2014 3Rd & Walnut Bar โ Lansdale, PA w/ Dysphoria, CDC, Frost Giant [info]Lewistown, Pennsylvaniaโsย BENCHPRESSย formed in 2011, and with two EPs and a prior split under their belt,ย the quintetโs future appears to be nothing but promising. The bandโs venomous surge of hardcore in the realm of veterans Cold As Life and Merauder and on par with modern acts Suburban Scum, Empire of Rats and Harmโs Way, is displayed through two tracks on side A of this new split, โPenanceโ and โPissed Away,โ recorded, produced and mastered by Carson Slovak at Atrium Audio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. San Juan, Puerto Rico-basedย MARTYRโS TONGUEย lays down a landslide of pandemonium as corrosive as it is pulverizing. With several demos, splits and EPs released since 2001, they brandish metallic mayhem born of the dark lords of Cleveland, Ringworm and Integrity, contemporized with more harsh noise, grime and electronic elements, putting them in the race with Rot In Hell, Full of Hell, Blind To Faith and the like. Their two anthems, โDeconstructive Processโ and โUnholy Communion,โ were mastered by Axel in San Juan, mercilessly overthrowing the B-side of this split platter.
