This Friday, Chicago’s “sons of sleaze” BONES will unveil their fourth album, Vomit, through Disorder Recordings, and today, No Clean Singing has slabbed the entire record for an advance public viewing.
Uniting drummer/vocalist Joe Warlord (Usurper), guitarist Carcass Chris (ex-Usurper), and bassist/lead vocalist Jon Necromancer (Contrition, High Spirits, ex-Usurper), BONES delivers their most in-your-face release to date. Vomit sees The Windy City’s filthiest trio continue their signature blend of death, thrash, and black metal on cuts like “Beware Of Ghouls” and “Noose,” while also venturing into sludgier elements on the title track and “Tower Of Skulls,” while Warlord even treads in early Neurosis territory on the tribal drum heavy instrumental, “Retch.” While these elements are truly new territory for BONES, overall, the band relentlessly sticks to the roots of their tainted peers in Autopsy, Coffins, Nunslaughter, and the like.
Vomit was tracked over two days at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio by Jon San Paulo (Shellac, Pelican, Neurosis) and one day at Hypercube Studio with Sanford Parker (Voivod, Darkthrone, Leviathan). The album was then mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room (Macabre, Eyehategod, Ministry) and completed with gruesome artwork by XNA Casperson (Dawnbringer, Zuul) and design by Eva Flora. Nick Hernandez (Dysphoria, ex-Kommandant) provides guest vocals on the closing song — a cover of Van Halen’s “She’s The Woman” — which was recorded just days before Eddie Van Halen’s death and will be a CD/Bandcamp exclusive track. Prepare to defile your eyes and ears… Vomit is the grossest album of 2022.
BONES’ Jon Necromancer writes, “Our fourth album finds us hitting our stride. After thirteen years as a band, and over thirty years in other bands in the metal underground, this album dribbled down our leg pretty effortlessly. 100% confidence and commitment. Crank this through your head holes and I guarantee we’ll get you fucking sick.”
No Clean Singing writes with their advance stream of the disgusting album, “Chicago’s BONES possess a number of endearing qualities: They are not pretentious, but instead feral. Their music sounds like it hasn’t bathed in weeks, just like us. They’ve got obviously impressive technical chops but manage to sound loose and sometimes even out-of-control. They know how to groove (man, do they know how to groove!), but they’re hellraisers at heart who revel in mauling and massacre… BONES do inspire genuine affection among fans of gnarly, in-your-face metallic extremity that revels in its carnal wildness.”
Endure BONES’ Vomit first through No Clean Singing now at THIS LOCATION.
