The album drops July 20th, but the band have teamed up with Revolver to give fans an exclusive behind the scenes experience. Recorded in the bands hometown of New York City, the video is a candid look at the band and their creative process.
Mutilation Rites guitarist, Michael Dimmitt commented:
“After spending three years writing this record and having the great pleasure of collaborating with Tyler Coburn on drums, it was something I wanted to capture for the sake of posterity.”
The band are also streaming the first new music from Chasm, ‘Pierced Larynx’ here:
Regarding the new track, bassist Ryan Jones comments: “‘Pierced Larynx’ is a song that intends to create a horrifying image of sacrifice and slaughter in return for inhuman strength and power with a freight train of chunky caveman riffs and dark storms of bends and blast beats”.
