Leng Tch'e are now premiering the next grinding track taken from their forthcoming six full-length, 'Razorgrind', which has been scheduled for release on the 25th of August. The Belgian deathgrind veterans are streaming a brand new video for "Stentor of Doom" via the Season of Mist YouTube channel and may be freely spread at and from the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pMBLypYHMU Leng Tch'e comment: "'Stentor Of Doom' is an explosive visualization of a man losing his mind onto a path of self destruction. The video was shot on a scorching hot summer day by Jens from Panda Productions at the world renowned AED Studios in Lint, Belgium." Leng Tch'e have previously revealed the artwork and track-list of 'Razorgrind', which can both be viewed below.
The development of veteran bands follows established patterns. Some become complacent and happy to release a regular string of barely inspired albums. Others take their time and with no need to prove anything wait until the time is ripe to hammer out another crusher that demonstrates their hard-won maturity much to the delight of their following. Leng Tch'e fall into the latter category. The Belgian death grind extremists obviously felt no rush to follow-up their latest sonic assault 'Hypomanic' (2010), but their new sixth full-length aptly named after their self-chosen style description 'Razorgrind' comes with everything that their die-hard fans want to hear. Short, sharp chops crammed with brutal riffing, down-tuned grinding and a knack for deadly melodies over which frontman Sergeï bellows belligerent and fury-filled vocal lines. Leng Tch'e have fine-tuned their particular genre-mix ever since the release of their first split EP with Black Ops in 2002. Grind, hardcore, and death metal form the main ingredients, but traces of cleverly inserted doom, stoner rock, and other eclectic influences can also be identified. Their name was inspired by an ancient imperial Chinese torture ritual, which the Belgians alluded to in their debut album 'Death by a Thousand Cuts' that also came out in 2002 - only one year after their inception. This created a buzz in the underground that grew considerably louder with the release of the follow-up 'ManMadePredator' in 2003. International breakthrough came for Leng Tch'e with their widely acclaimed third full-length 'The Process of Elimination' (2005), which combined catchy hooks with extreme grind. Invitations to major festivals such as Furyfest, Graspop, Summer Breeze, and Maryland Deathfest as well as worldwide touring were their reward. 'Marasmus' (2007) witnessed Leng Tch'e adding more heavy death metal riffing – a trend of carefully widening their musical horizon that continued with album number five, 'Hypomanic'. More touring and festival shows including Hellfest, Neurotic Deathfest, Motocultor, and Metalfest among others followed. Having found and consolidated their own style, the Belgians are now taking the next step forward with 'Razorgrind', which sees all the musical pieces falling firmly into their place. Leng Tch'e are more than ready to grind the world. Crank up the volume!

The band have teamed up with the highly esteemed blog Transcending Obscurity to reveal their new track "Let's Share A Cigarette", a two-minute blast from their forthcoming album Human Cargo, which will be released on Deformeathing Productions on September 3rd 2016. The site commented that the track "is reminiscent of the type of bottom heavy attack Napalm Death has been utilizing for the last decade or so, but there are some well-timed breaks where the instrumentals slow things down into chugging brutal death metal territory." Listen to "Let's Share A Cigarette" at this location: http://tometal.com/song-premiere-polish-deathgrind-band-f-a-m/ Pre-order Human Cargo here: https://deformeathingproduction.bandcamp.com/album/fam-human-cargo-dp-019cd https://www.facebook.com/FAMdeathgrind Extreme metallers Brujeria will release their fourth full length album, entitled "Pocho Aztlan", on September 16th via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The release will be followed by a U.S. tour this October alongside Cattle Decapitation and Piñata Protest. "Pocho Aztlan" is the band's first release since "Brujerizmo" was released in 2000 via Roadrunner. It was recorded over the course of many years and at several studios around the globe. The end result was mixed by Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Exploited). Fast forward to right about now: "Pocho Aztlan" is Brujeria’s first new album in 16 years. The title translates to “Wasted Promised Land,” a combination of Aztlán, the fabled ancestral home of the Aztecs, and the term pocho, which native Mexicans use to refer — not always kindly — to their counterparts born in the States. Brujo himself is pocho, a man caught between two worlds. Many pochos are not exactly accepted with open arms in Mexico. Meanwhile, they’re too often regarded as second-class citizens in their adopted US home. Brujo has transcended both scenarios through the power of Brujeria’s uncompromising grindcore and death metal. His all-Spanish lyrics are as vivid as they are effective: Bona fide tales from the front-lines of the drug war, the racial divide, and the battle for the border. “A lot of Brujeria songs are true stories,” Brujo says. “And if they haven’t happened yet, they will happen.” 10/01/2016 Baltimore, MD - Soundstage 10/02/2016 Boston, MA - Brighton Music Hall 10/03/2016 New York, NY - Gramercy Theatre 10/04/2016 Philadelphia, PA - Voltage 10/06/2016 Cleveland, OH - Agora Ballroom 10/07/2016 Chicago, IL - Reggie's 10/08/2016 Minneapolis, MN - Cabooze 10/09/2016 Kansas City, MO - Riot Room 10/10/2016 Denver, CO - Bluebird Theater 10/12/2016 Seattle, WA - Studio Seven 10/13/2016 Portland, OR - Hawthorne Theater 10/14/2016 Oakland, CA - CA Deathfest (Brujeria ONLY) 10/17/2016 Los Angeles, CA - The Roxy 10/18/2016 San Diego, CA - Brick By Brick https://www.facebook.com/Brujeria/ _Cattle Decapitation unleash new video warfare in the form of new studio footage in respect of their 'Monolith of Inhumanity'sessions - vocals and much more banter can be found clicking here.
Vocalist Travis Ryan states that: ""Kids always ask me how I do my vocals and here it is... the vocals studio report for our new album 'Monolith of Inhumanity'. As you can see, polar bear pajama pants and a really stupid haircut really help me achieve those pitches needed to push the melodic high vocals over the top. You will also find there actually are no 'pirate' influences in the studio. Nor any ninjas, vampires, zombies or Chuck Norris paraphernalia in there either so sit down, shut up and smell the farts… there's at least two of 'em in there if you listen closely…" More cowbell is announced in the form of their upcoming 'Summers Shockwave Festival Tour', which also sees the likes of Voivod, Fear Factory, Misery Index, Revocation, Havok, Dirge Within, Last Chance To Reason, Vildhjarta, The Browning and Forged In Flame take to the battlefront.
