Defigurement – the band featuring drummer Mike Heller (Malignancy, Raven, ex-Fear Factory), guitarist Kevin Fetus (Lack Of Interest, Fetus Eaters, ex-Murder Construct), bassist ad noise architect DMT (Mormon Mincers, ex-Bad Acid Trip), and vocalist Matthias Joyce (Rottenness, To Violently Vomit, Formless Master) – is here to make your day a fucking nightmare thanks to the video for their track “The Clot Thickens”.
It’s one of my favorite songs from Defigurement‘s debut album Endbryo, which you really need to get into right here. Shit rocks.
“‘The Clot Thickens’ is an aural cacophony, fueled by a tornado of riffs and a nightmare of percussion,” said Fetus. “The song should wreck and confuse the listener just as much as it draws them into the eye of the swirling vortex. In less than two minutes, you will be transported from ass to elbow. By the end of the song, if you’re not asking, ‘What the fuck was that?,’ then you’re not a true fan of experi-metal.”
Endbryo was recorded DIY by the band at multiple facilities, mixed by Rob Caldwell (Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste, Devourment), mastered by Lasse Lammert (Sigh, Kublai Khan, The Atlas Moth), with artwork by Kevin Fetus. The album is drenched in guest contributions, including:
- Takafumi Matsubara (Gridlink, Mortalized)
- Makiko Suda (Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation, Monnier)
- Brian Hopp (Cephalic Carnage)
- Kevin Alter (Deathwish, Invidiosus)
- Crawlin Lewis (King Goro, Formless Master, Invidiosus)
- Karl Schmidt (Gorgatron, Visceral Disgorge)
- Leon Del Muerte (Impaled, Terrorizer LA, ex-Exhumed, ex-Nails, ex-Intronaut)
- Alec Cordero (Black Hole Deity, Calcemia)
- Ryan Wright (Necropathy)
- Leonard “Lenzig” Leal (Cephalic Carnage, Neuromorphic)
- Matt Olson
