DIE CHOKING: Philly Shred Trio Preps Debut EP For Vinyl Delivery

Grinders, shredders, ragers and speedfreaks, welcome DIE CHOKING, a Philly bred trio quickly becoming known for their smoldering concoction of brutal punk mayhem, grindcore, and raw metal, played at ungodly fast speeds of pure sonic annihilation. The band’s five-song self-titled EP bas been freshly dispatched to the printing presses for its first vinyl incarnation, pending release in conjunction with the extreme music purveyors at Earsplit’s label, The Compound.

Featuring Paul J Herzog (ex-Total Fucking Destruction) on bass/vocals, Joshua T. Cohen (Cop Problem) on drums, and Jeffrey V. Daniels (Burden) on guitar, DIE CHOKING digitally released this first studio effort in January and immediately sparked an underground buzzstorm. CvltNation.com stated of the release,”this band scrambles your brain cells with their brand of high-octane grindcore laced with traces of rancid crust! What I dig about this record is the hidden grooves that are smashed against walls of aggressive speed and angst,” continuing, “…DIE CHOKING also brings the noise with their messages of anti-authority and anti-capitalism.”

The Die Choking EP was recorded by Brutal Truth guitarist Dan O’Hare at his Mark It Zero Studios in New Jersey, the same studio DIE CHOKING will return to on March 1st to record a new five-song EP due out later this Summer. Preorders for the vinyl version of the 7″ will be available in the coming days via The Compound/Earsplit Distro.

Die Choking 7″ Track Listing:
I. Low Finality
II. Momentum
III. Greed War
IV. Reason Resist | Reason Reborn
V. Uninstall
