I have a job where I listen to music that scares me. I know in my rational mind that it can’t actually hurt me, but when I hear things like the new DIPLOID Glorify LP, my rational mind checks out and leaves behind emotional turmoil and raw, animal fear. This is the sound of all the terrible things we do to each other, and it makes each of the tiny hairs on my body stand up and want to run away. And no wonder they want to run – DIPLOID’s inspiration for this work comes from books like Colombine by Dave Cullen, and presents “a grim but viscerally real take on mental deterioration.” Art As Catharsis is putting out the new record from this Australian band, which comes out Nov. 22nd, and you can pre-order it here if you’re a fan of noise and grind and fucked up, raging sound. They’ve collaborated on a performance with The Body, if that tells you anything. Today we’re excited to share Glorify in full with you, and don’t say you weren’t warned…
