Vitriol - To Bathe From The Throat Of Cowardice - CD DIGIPAK

Portland, Oregon's violent trinity, fronted by the dual vocal assault given from guitarist Kyle Rasmussen and bassist Adam Roethlisberger, driven by the inhuman drummer Scott Walker, proved to make a successful strike at the genre's heart with their 2017 EP, "Pain Will Define Their Death". The EP already provided a shockingly intense glimpse at the whirlwind that was to be unfurled on the group's much anticipated debut record, "To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice". Supported by fellow underground icons such as Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder) and just recently confirmed for their first European tour with Nile and Hate Eternal, VITRIOL are poised to attack extreme metal with will, technical proficiency, and the determination to push boundaries. "The spirit of VITRIOL is to take the uncompromising, thrashy, punky, spirit of the late 90s extreme death and bring it to a world that has been numbed by records that have abandoned all life in favor of shrink wrapped, candy coated articulation," Rasmussen proclaims and transforms into 44 minutes of utmost sincere and vicious music embodying a radicalness and personality akin to the essence of black metal. Joe Petagno (Motörhead, Krisiun, Angelcorpse) visualized this approach perfectly on the album's gloomy and intimidating artwork: VITRIOL are the blade at the throat of Death Metal's comfort zone, the literally razorsharp cutting-edge stabbing at the fabrics of a genre too complacently regurgitating the same sonic formulas over and over again. VITRIOL neglects mainstream conformism in favor of a heartfelt interpretation of Death Metal amalgamating influences from Immolation to Blut Aus Nord, from Hate Eternal to DSO
