Cripple Bastards album set for release

Official press release: Having mauled the planet for over 25 years through an enormous arsenal of releases and widespread touring, Northwestern Italy's unstoppable hardcore/grind masters, Cripple Bastards, begin their next full-on sonic attack now, as Relapse Records prepares to dispatch the band's new album in early 2014. Two and-a-half decades after their conception, Cripple Bastards reign as Italy's most hostile and aggressive musical unit in existence, and are ready to prove it all over again with their newly completed debut LP for Relapse, the monstrous Nero In Metastasi. Packing some of their most dense and metallic destruction into eighteen new tracks harnessed under the thirty-seven minute mark, the album was recorded at the infamous Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordström (Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity). While retaining the riotous old-school hatecore attributes they've carried forth since formation, yet elevating their delivery to put them on par with the most cutting-edge bands in the grindcore genre, Nero In Metastasi is the next major movement in Cripple Bastards' steadfast campaign of extreme auditory revolution. A video teaser for Nero In Metastasi has been leaked and can be seen below: Nero In Metastasi will see release on CD, LP and digital formats via Relapse in North America on February 18th, preceded by a February 14th street date in Germany/Benelux, and February 17th in the UK. Precursory warning shots from the album will be firing into the population as a New Year of degradation ensues, among widespread Cripple Bastards tour actions, including the band's return to the US on a full tour surrounding their performance at Maryland Deathfest 2014 and more.
