Chicago’s Geromino! announced last September that they would be calling it a day, and issued the following statement:

“Hello friends. After close to 7 years of performing together as Geronimo! we have decided to put the band to rest. It is a bittersweet decision but after 220 shows, 57 cities, 26 states, 7 tours, 5 EPs, 3 LPs, 2 vans and 1 kitten we have an end in sight. We’ve met amazing people along the way and gotten to play with incredible, inspiring bands. We will be performing some last shows and have one final tour planned in October. After that we will play one last show in Chicago to be determined sometime in the fall/winter. We will be recording one last EP that will be available digitally and will have some sort of physical representation of said recording at our final show. Thanks to everyone that made the band possible, we’ve truly learned that you can’t do-it-yourself without the support and love of others. It’s been a blast.”

Geronimo! are set to release their final recordings, Buzz Yr Girlfriend: Vol. 4 – Why Did You Leave Me?, a set of three songs determined to tear the remaining paint from the walls over aggressive bursts of shredding guitars, stampeding rhythms, and dynamic shifts. Geronimo!’s time together is rapidly coming to a close, but they’re not going out without a fight. Buzz Yr Girlfriend: Vol. 4 – Why Did You Leave Me? will be out March 31st via Exploding In Sound Records (Pile, Krill, Ovlov).

Abyss Streaming “Prophecies Of Churning Horror”

abyss heretical anatomy

Ontario death metallers Abyss is streaming “Prophecies Of Churning Horror,” off their debut album Heretical Anatomy, out April 14, 2015 via 20 Buck Spin here.

Recorded and engineered by Chris Hegge at Audiolab, Toronto in the grip of Winter 2014, Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust adds his touch to the production of Heretical Anatomy, mixing and mastering Abyss’s malformed death metal and the horror of its Lovecraftian persona. The frenzied blasting of early American and UK death metal and grindcore, before a distinct separation between the two existed, is a hallmark of Heretical Anatomy, yet the overwhelming speed scattered throughout the album’s duration is expertly applied, never descending into a one dimensional space where only velocity is the basis for existence. Songs are crafted with the care of the elder gods, rigorously refined with a seasoned sophistication, always maintaining a sharply primitive ferocity.

Stream “The Atonement” here.
