NEQUIENT: Chicago Metallic Hardcore Outfit To Release Collective Punishment EP Through Nefarious Industries In November; Live Version Of “Coins For The Ferryman” Streaming + Preorders Issued

Stream NEQUIENT’s “Coins For The Ferryman” (Live) HERE.   Chicago, Illinois-based metallic hardcore quartet NEQUIENT will release Collective Punishment, a new EP featuring both new and live material, through Nefarious Industries in early November. Preorders have been issued, and the band will donate this weekend’s sales to Equal Justice Initiative.   Building on a foundation of thrashing d-beat, NEQUIENT draws influences from a broad spectrum of aggressive styles including grindcore, crust, sludge, death metal, black metal, and noise rock. The result is a uniquely punishing sound that emphasizes percussive intensity and razor-sharp hooks.   Formed in 2014, NEQUIENT’s first official release was 2015’s Infinite Regress EP, the start of a longstanding collaboration with producer Pete Grossmann (Immortal Bird, Something Is Waiting, Warforged) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago. Following a few personnel shifts, the group settled on its current configuration and forged a debut full-length, Wolves At The Door, issued in 2018 by Nefarious Industries. Decibel Magazine lent the album its “enthusiastic stamp of approval,” declaring, “NEQUIENT comes blazing in on a misanthropy-fueled ICBM missile.” Ghost Cult Magazine described the band as, “astute musical assassins,” driven by the powerful drumming of “human tornado” Chris Avgerin.   NEQUIENT set out on a campaign of DIY touring in support of Wolves At The Door, playing every dive bar, basement, community center, banquet hall, and benefit festival that would have them. Those travels culminated in a late 2019 run with Danish avant-hardcore technicians, labelmates Oxx.    A few months later, NEQUIENT reconvened at Bricktop to track a new album, once again helmed by Grossmann, not realizing that the global pandemic would soon slow all further progress to a maddening crawl. In 2021, the band will at last make its comeback with the digital EP Collective Punishment, which acts as a harbinger for their second full-length, Darker Than Death Or Night. A succinct but damaging release, Collective Punishment features two exclusive tracks from the early 2020 sessions -- “Collective Punishment” and “Strange Death Of Kings” – which were produced by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats) and mixed by Sanford Parker at Hypercube (Voivod, Yob, Eyehategod, Lord Mantis). The record also features live performances of “First Casualty” and “Coins For The Ferryman” recorded October 20th, 2019 by Alan Sifuentes at Valdosta DIY House and mixed by Patrick Conahan. The EP was mastered by Collin Jordan at the Boiler Room and completed with artwork and logo by M. G. Miller.   Stream NEQUIENT’s live version of “Coins For The Ferryman” RIGHT HERE.   Nefarious Industries will release Collective Punishment on all digital platforms and in a limited run of cassettes on November 5th. Find preorders including merch bundles and more at the label webshop HERE. All proceeds from this weekend’s presales will be donated to Equal Justice Initiative.   Watch for additional previews of the Collective Punishment EP to post over the coming days. Updates on Darker Than Death Or Night will follow directly afterward, as the LP is slated for release in the first quarter of 2022 in conjunction with US tour dates.   Collective Punishment Track Listing: 1.

DEBER premiere new track at MetalBite.com - features members of ONDSKAPT, ANGUISH, AVSKY

Today, funeral doom upstarts Deber premiere the new track "Decay" at heavily trafficked web-portal MetalBite.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Aspire to Affliction, set for international release on November 5th via Personal Records. Hear Deber's "Decay" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Sweden, Deber are a funeral doom metal band consisting of two members from high-profile bands: DIE (Anguish, Ondskapt) and HCF (Avksy, Acolytes of Moros). They formed in 2020 when the pandemic broke out, and their main reason for forming Deber was to create something even darker and denser than their previous bands - achieving this by going slow, and going full-on funeral doom.

Indeed, they accomplish that - and MORE, going slower and deeper - with their monolithic debut album, Aspire to Affliction. Aptly titled, Aspire to Affliction doesn't aspire to recreate the wheel; rather, Deber aspire to create traditional funeral doom in the mold of masters Evoken, Worship, Skepticism, and Colosseum among others. Indeed, with DIE in charge of strings and organ while HCF handles drums and vocals, Deber's focused onslaught of sound retains a single-minded focus, but equally shows no shortage of imagination, as the organ work, in particular, evinces an especially inspired creepiness and centuries-old aura.

Recorded between May 2020 and July of 2021, Deber brought to life/death Aspire to Affliction wholly inspired by the glimmering city lights full of miserable conditions as seen from the woods of Uppsala, where the album was recorded. Those sensations are writ large here, for your imminent imbibement and ruination: this is music for your funeral.

March to that funeral with the brand-new track "Decay" exclusively HERE, courtesy of MetalBite.com. Further march with the previously revealed "Soulblind" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp as well as HERE at Personal Records' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
