Right here and now, I am saying that the THEORIES album Vessel, out now on Corpse Flower Records, just might be the grindcore LP of 2019! Feel free to tell me I am wrong, but the fact is I just might not believe you!
DYLAN DECARLO had this to say about this sonic beast:
This beast begins and ends with riffs so nasty that guitar teachers all over the world will be handing in their resignations. That’s right people, these riffs are so good the unemployment rate just went up. Vessel is, simply put, and unrelenting record. It is ten tracks pain, suffering, and extremely good snare tone that perfectly reflects the anger and anxiety that plague us all in the dystopia we call 2019. In a genre full of cliches, Theories manage to bring a fresh take on what grindcore can be to the table, and then proceed to demolish said table. If you’re the kind of person who judges “heavy” releases based on just a few tracks then Ill Will, Undertow, and Taking Up Space cannot be ignored.
Now today we are premiering their insanely beautiful visual for their song “Ill Will” – you might not want to eat before watching this video. Hold on, it gets better – they start their US tour today and you can peep the dates below.
