News: GRIDFAILURE: Scathed Album Finalized For June Release Through Darker Days Ahead; "Gaze Of Aversion" Streaming

New York solo outfit GRIDFAILURE purges forth some of its most tortured output yet, with Scathed, which will see release in early June with DIY/experimental label Darker Days Ahead. The record's "Gaze Of Aversion" is now streaming.

 

While many recent and forthcoming GRIDFAILURE titles infuse collaborations and contributions from a wide range of henchpersons, Scathed is void of any participants, as creator David Brenner solely unloads ten unpredictable and defeating new anthems for hallucinogenic seppuku. Layered with seismic and eroded guitars and bass, percussive lunacy, homicidal keys/synth, theremin, didgeridoo, xylophone, harmonica, and more, the songs on scathed writhe forth from surreal atmospheres, and deliver the most scorned vocal evisceration from the outfit to date. With fifty-three minutes of material performed, recorded, and mixed by Brenner, whose photos/layout complete the record, Scathed is laced with enough stability to keep you engaged while delivering an oppressive sense of dread and impending retribution from a parallel universe.

 

GRIDFAILURE's Scathed will see free digital download and handmade CDR through Minneapolis-based Darker Days Ahead on June 2nd.
