Death Metal trio, Shock Withdrawal, have just unleashed their latest single and video for the track, “Built To Suffer.” It follows “Oblivion Seeker” as the second song taken from their debut full-length The Dismal Advance, due out March 15 on Brutal Panda Records. The “Built to Suffer” video (by Maximum Volume Silence) features live footage from the band’s first live performance last year at Saint Vitus Bar with GridLink. Watch it in the article below.

About the album, vocalist Mitchell Luna had this to say:
“Writing this album was an absolute challenge, as we are all spread out throughout different parts of the country, but I am beyond happy with the end result! It’s a mix of death metal, grind, and hardcore, and a vast improvement from the EP we put out in 2022. We went the DIY route and recorded the album ourselves with the help of some good friends, and then handed it off to Arthur Rizk so he can work his magic in the mixing/mastering department. It’s 21 minutes. No fucking filler. Bleak and painful, yet grounded in reality. Thanks to anyone who listens! Blastbeats forever!”
Mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Tomb Mold), The Dismal Advance is a high-BPM, trauma feedback loop of non-stop shredding, blastbeat precision, and feral sonic volatility that sharply executes a superb balance of riffs, groove and masterful instrumentation. Replete with nihilistic lyrics and post-apocalyptic imagery, The Dismal Advance is a stark reminder that hell can be a place on earth… and some of us live in it.
