Endbryo, the furiously unhinged debut from extreme music abomination DEFIGUREMENT, is out today and streaming everywhere through Nefarious Industries.
Unloading a nerve-damaging amalgam of death/grind, DEFIGUREMENT encompasses a cast of life-long henchmen from across the metal/extreme music underground, aligning drummer Mike Heller (Malignancy, Raven, ex-Fear Factory), guitarist Kevin Fetus (Lack Of Interest, Fetus Eaters, ex-Murder Construct), bassist/noise architect DMT (Mormon Mincers, ex-Bad Acid Trip), and vocalist Matthias Joyce aka “Matti Güey” (Rottenness, To Violently Vomit, Formless Master).
DEFIGUREMENT’s debut album Endbryo arrives with sixteen tracks of sheer intensity: A unified creation born of sci-fi death metal infiltrated by hyperactive overtones of gore, grind, prog, and experimentalism. Intense, grinding blasts jacked-up on interstellar strains of both melody and scathe, ludicrous putridity bursting to shed its skin, hammering percussion with fretwork and vocals working triple-time to keep up. As uncanny, unhinged, and bizarre as it undoubtedly is, Endbryo flows seamlessly into an inimitable hybrid of extreme tech death that can only be described as pure DEFIGUREMENT.
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), and Matt Olson.
If Total Fucking Destruction, Birdflesh, Cryptopsy, Gridlink, Cephalic Carnage, Atrae Bilis, Brutal Truth, Gigan, Anata, Artificial Brain, Antigama, Necrophagist, and the like frequently contribute to your hearing damage, DEFIGUREMENT should be next in line to usher in your tinnitus.
DEFIGUREMENT’s Endbryo is now streaming everywhere at Nefarious Industries where the LP, CD, and CS, and “Godtopsy” video are available RIGHT HERE.
Expect additional videos to be issued over the weeks ahead.
“The four conflicting and diverging, but unified and converging, minds have joined forces in the creation of their upcoming debut, a frenzied concoction of fast ’n’ furious grind and multi-hued psychedelia.” – Decibel Magazine
“DEFIGUREMENT pulls no punches on Endbryo, hewing a slab of great experimental deathgrind. Their ferocity is bruising and their vision unyielding, and it’s rare I encounter music that demands so many repeated spins. This platter is captivating, and each time I think I have Endbryo figured out, the next listen corrects that notion. So many ideas loaded into thirty minutes might seem daunting, but DEFIGUREMENT expertly balances intrigue and digestibility. Assuming Endbryo is only the beginning, I’ll wait on the edge of my seat to hear how the band’s sound develops.” – Angry Metal Guy
“Grind’s schizophrenic nature makes it usually pass through one ear and out the other for me, but these Californians throw in enough melody across these three singles that I’ll be coming back to hear the other 13. I’ve never had so much fun having my brain leak through my ears.” – Toilet Ov Hell
“This is a creation of scathing tech grind hostility, but one that is also able to conjure up the transcendent and otherworldly. Layered sounds and emotive melodies allow the band to explore moods and feelings that are rarely associated with the style, elevating the material considerably. DEFIGUREMENT have an interesting and engaging way of presenting brutality alongside melody and atmosphere in such a way that it feels seamless and natural. Endbryo is both satisfying and rewarding.” – Wonderbox Metal
“Each song is a strange idea burst onto tape in furious chunks. Just as quickly as the concept is expressed, the band is ready to hit you over the head with something else…You should expect the unexpected with this one.” – Metal Digest
