Dysrhythmia "Test of Submission"

ALTAR05

From Profound Lore: 
Entitled “Test Of Submission”, this is the sixth full-length album in DYSRHYTHMIA’s repertoire and the band’s most-intense and accomplished album to date. Already going on a decade-plus career, DYSRYHTMIA were one of the first prominent bands to bring awareness to the instrumental progressive metal movement in America, in an age where there were not even a handful of bands attempting to do what DYSRHYTHMIA were doing in music; setting new standards and helping to create a new movement within extreme metal all on their own. The band would gain even more prominence as part of the Relapse Records roster where not only members from DYSRYHTMIA (them of course being guitarist Kevin Hufnagel, bassist Colin Marston, and drummer Jeff Eber) would also be defined by their musical and playing fortitude, but said members would continue to make a name for themselves even further within such bands as Gorguts, Krallice, Vaura, Byla, and …Behold The Acrtopus.
Nonetheless, such accomplished musicians have once again come together to make a new album at a time where there seems to be a overbearing glut of bands attempting to prove their worth in some rat-race to see which band can outdo themselves in technical prowess or whatever. DYSRHYTHMIA’s “Test Of Submission” will singlehandedly prove this trio’s superiority. With ease.

A State of Perpetual Malaise and Procrastination

Apologies for the prolonged absence, but there are actually multiple projects currently in the works. Ashamedly, our facebook page gets updated much more frequently, just due to ease of use. Feel free to "like" that page to keep up with this bullshit. Or don't.

The production stage for the vinyl for Dysrhythmia's "Test of Submission" is in it's final stages. A couple rounds of test presses and communication black outs notwithstanding, we should see these slabs materialize as early as the second week of October. The CD has been out for a few weeks and the feedback has been outstanding for the album as well as their packed out record release show in Brooklyn last weekend.

The band is gearing up for a full US tour at the end of the month, culminating with some shows on the East Coast with the almighty Loincloth. Check below for tour dates.

Dysrhythmia @ Saint Vitus, Brooklyn NY
















The next Nerve Altar release is already in production and on it's way. A split EP with Buffalo's Water Torture and thedowngoing from Australia. Noise infested bass violence collides with screeching grind assaults from down under in short incendiary bursts. Both bands have released excellent records recently, all available for free download via the usual sources as well as the bands themselves. This vinyl release will commemorate the US tour these two are about to embark on in the beginning of November, only to be joined on the road by the always stellar Cloud Rat. Test presses have been approved and packaging is almost completed, so things are on track for the bands to have these with them by the Brooklyn date of the tour.

Sneak peek at the Water Torture/thedowngoing EP artwork






















That should wrap up 2012 for Nerve Altar. The only other possible project on the horizon would be a vanity piece, a vinyl version of Defeatist's first full length 'Sixth Extinction' which only saw a CD release. A very short run, only to satiate the completist and truly shitheaded.
