WHITECHAPEL released their standalone single, “A Visceral Retch,” in September. Relentlessly slamming, ominous, and punishing, the track delivers a dark, twisted theme about gluttonous overlords who test the lengths to which humans will go to survive and join their cult. Revolver noted, “...the speed-driven piece is full of detuned death riffs and mega-fast drum snaring. Vocalist Phil Bozeman indeed does some gut-rumbled retching throughout the tune, no doubt brought on by some truly nauseating in-song coprophagia… “ Idioteq concurred, lauding a track that, “reinforces their standing as stalwarts of the deathcore genre,” while Metal Injection gushed, “WHITECHAPEL is back with a new song called ‘A Visceral Retch’ and I am currently writing this from the grave, because this song killed me. If you're a fan of old-school WHITECHAPEL… you're gonna love this – it's heavy as shit, it's unrelenting, and it will destroy you.”

Tech Death Band Cognitive Drop Video for the Brutal track "Insidious"!

  4:47 PM            No comments


Photo by Chris Hosey

Technical death metal quintet, COGNITIVE, is pleased to unleash their new video for “Insidious.” The rampaging new track comes by way of the band’s Abhorrence full-length, released May 17th on Metal Blade Records.


Abhorrence finds the New Jersey powerhouse at their brutal best. Once accurately championed by Kerrang Magazine for composing songs that land with “cartilage-crushing force,” Abhorrence carries on band tradition with its a maniacal fusion of relentless riffs and thoughtful, devastating lyrics making for a raging, draining, and ultimately fulfilling experience.


An exercise in aural turbulence, each track on Abhorrence takes its listener on a magnificently traumatic journey. “Our lyrics for this record are all over the place,” notes guitarist Rob Wharton. “There’s some stuff about video games and addiction and mental health. To me, that’s the kind of subject matter that hits home because everyone’s got stuff going on in their lives. It’s relatable.”


Comments Wharton on “Insidious,” “A finger-fancy opening soon leads to slam-heavy grooves and well-articulated vocals, with lyrics about addiction, and a chorus/breakdown that always comes back for more.”



Watch COGNITIVE’s video for “Insidious” at THIS LOCATION. 


Watch the band’s previously released videos for “Abhorrence” HERE and “A Pact Unholy” HERE.


COGNITIVE started work on Abhorrence while touring in support of Malevolent Thoughts Of A Hastened Extinction, sending tracks back and forth while trekking from one intense gig to the next. Drummer AJ Viana has his own studio (he’s previously worked with bands as prestigious as Hath) and recorded, tracked, and mixed the album, before Ryan Williams (The Black Dahlia Murder, John Frum) at Metal Blade Records mastered it.


COGNITIVE’s Abhorrence is available on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

Crimson Void (US retail)

Gilded Abyss (EU + US Metal Blade Webstore – Ltd. 400)


Find orders at: metalblade.com/cognitive.


COGNITIVE recently announced a ten-date headlining tour in July with support from Dysentery and Atræ Bilis. In September, the band will play this year’s edition of the Metal Injection Fest in Brooklyn, New York before joining Benighted on their Canadian Infestation tour.

"Between Job For A Cowboy and Cattle Decapitation, COGNITIVE are in good company with Metal Blade. The quintet from New Jersey has also developed from a relatively conventional grind/deathcore band into a fiddly extreme metal hybrid that still prefers to contrast blast beats with downtempo parts, but also allows for melodies and generally values skilled craftsmanship puts. The sound is correspondingly transparent and powerful, but not soulless." -- Rock Hard Germany


"Abhorrence radiates with confidence and vision, building upon the near-perfect blend of technical-but-still-catchy death metal and hard-hitting deathcore that they've spent their career refining to a science, but also fearlessly delving into new territory by adding a pinch of melody this time around, to great effect." -- New Noise


"I suggest this release to not only fans of the death metal genre but metal fans looking for something super heavy and technically superior. This album is definitely designed to be played at eleven." -- The Metal Pit


"COGNITIVE delivered a commanding and angry record that was impressive in its musicianship, as well as its brutality. I picture this record making a lot of Best Death Metal lists of 2024. Highly recommend the record." -- This Day In Metal


"With their fifth album, the North Americans prove their impressive musical potential and actually develop some great songs from them." -- Metal.de


"...the thing just rips and rips and rips..." -- Wonderbox Metal  



COGNITIVE:

Rob Wharton – guitars

Harry Lannon – guitars

Shane Jost – vocals

Tyler Capone-Vitale – bass

AJ Viana – drums

Enterprise Earth Release "The World Without Us" Video/ Single & Currently on European Tour with Shadow of Intent!

  4:52 PM            No comments

Watch ENTERPRISE EARTH's “The World Without Us” video HERE.

Progressive deathcore summoners ENTERPRISE EARTH today unveil their latest single, “The World Without Us.” The staggering hymn follows the band’s “Death Magick” single, released earlier this month.

Elaborates ENTERPRISE EARTH guitarist Gabe Mangold, “‘The World Without Us’ is intended to follow directly after the ending of ‘Death Magick.’ There’s also an obvious juxtaposition between the two songs, which is also intended. When it comes to our music, we have always enjoyed being a multidimensional band and don’t like to limit ourselves to one sound. With “The World Without Us” being more melodic, uplifting yet energetic, and progressive compared to the sheer intensity and aggression found in ‘Death Magick,’ we feel that together these two songs capture a broad range of what we offer musically. Enjoy!”

The release of “The World Without Us” and its companion track “Death Magick” comes in conjunction with ENTERPRISE EARTH’s European tour supporting Shadow Of Intent, currently underway.

ENTERPRISE EARTH’s most recent full-length, The Chosen, was released last January via MNRK Heavy. Adored by fans and critics alike, Blabbermouth championed a record that’s “huge and definitive,” MetalSucks lauded “the most vicious, the most technical, and… the catchiest offering in the band’s already-impressive repertoire,” while New Transcendence commended, “the most memorable ENTERPRISE EARTH release to date.” The Chosen continues to astound listeners both Stateside and abroad.

The Chosen is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digitally. Find ordering options at THIS LOCATION where the record can be streamed in full.
