D.E.R./Test "Otomanos" Split EP Available Now!

"Ottoman is a project between the DER and TEST bands that share the same drummer, the idea is to construct / deconstruct the music using a single battery line for different compositions. Grindcore!"

Split EP from Sao Paolo, Brazil's veteran grinders. A true collaboration in every sense of the word, both bands share the same drummer and play on either stereo channel simultaneously for a dizzying effect. Pan left or right to hear each band individually or leave the mix in the middle to listen to both bands at the same time for a total sonic onslaught.

Imminence Front

Where did the last two months go? Straight to my GI tract if these stomach pains are anything to go by...

Sayyadina's "Mourning The Unknown" LP is at the plant and should be ready to melt turntables imminently. Just got the test pressings and they sound sweet. I haven't given this record my undivided attention in a while and I think I forgot how great it is. Unrelenting speed and fury matched by the catchiest riffs. Possibly my favorite grindcore record ever. The three new tracks fit right into the mix. The only real change on this is that it's not a gatefold package to try to keep cost down on this thing.

UP NEXT! D.E.R. "Quando a Esperança Desaba" LP!! The artwork has been approved so this should go to press at the end of May.

Sayyadina will be in the U.S. for a few East Coast dates between Auditory Assault Fest and Maryland Death Fest.

May 16/17 NYC @ Auditory Assault Fest
May 18 Boston, MA @ Obrien's Pub - Sayyadina, Defeatist, Nothing But Enemies, Deathamphetamine
May 19 Providence, RI @ AS220 - Sayyadina, Defeatist , I Destroyer +?
