Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available
Hymns in Dissonance, indeed: "No holds barred; there is nothing nice about HID, from the riffs to the lyrics to the overall vibe of the album," states guitarist Alex Wade. "We attempted to write our heaviest album to date. We wanted to put out something that was shockingly menacing and brutal."
"The album follows the story of a cultist who is gathering worthy people to join his cult," Wade furthers, "and there are moments in the storyline where the cult followers are singing an evil hymn to open a portal for the head cultist to enter." The band's dynamic, brutal musicality serves as a soundtrack to the compelling lyrical story that vocalist Phil Bozeman vividly imagines.
"A Visceral Retch" is a song that fans of our album The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said “yup, that’s it.” Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons‘ waste, each other or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.
