The issue with a intelligent band title, like Nicolas Cage Fighter, is that each time your band will get written up, that’s the hook. See, even we fell for it. However this Aussie deathcore quartet—Nick Moriarty (vocals), Justin Ellis (guitars), Matt Davenport (drums), Connor McMillan (bass)—truly has some substance to it, past the moniker, as evidenced by their second brutalizing full-length, I Watched You Burn, which we’re streaming in its entirety right here. They bulldoze by way of 10 ferocious tracks, balancing their demise metallic, hardcore and black metallic influences adeptly. We’re attempting our greatest to keep away from any trite MMA references right here, however I Watched You Burn will certainly (aurally) bruise and batter you.
I Watched You Burn was produced by Dylan Volk and combined and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Suffocation, Cryptopsy, The Agonist, Get The Shot). It’s set for launch on CD, vinyl and digitally on Sept 12 through Bleeding Artwork Collective. You possibly can place your preorder right here (US), right here (Australia/New Zealand) or right here (Europe/UK).
Drummer Matt Davenport had this to say concerning the band’s second full-length:
“I Watched You Burn is the band taking its all out assault to a brand new degree, a affirmation of the sound and standing we’ve carved out over time, and the demonstration of the brand new volatility that has been added to our sound by way of the affect of demise and black metallic.
Nonetheless hardcore at its basis, however by way of these influences, now broader in its brutality and way more incendiary. As just like the central determine within the idea behind the album, it’s unhinged and violent. Enormous due to the group behind the album, and to everybody that has pre-ordered or pre-saved the album and merch, thanks! See you on the street!”
