Flesh Hammer To
See Release This Monday Via Indisciplinarian
Denmark's off-the-chain drums/bass duo, FOSSILS, is ready to provide
their meaty sophomore LP, Flesh Hammer, this coming Monday, March 3rd.
FOSSILS' succinctly pulverizing Flesh Hammer is packed with ten
precise, noisy, no-bullshit pieces of instrumental noise rock in twenty
minutes, produced by Danish sound-enigma Q (Beta Satan, Entombed). The past
several weeks saw FOSSILS careening on a rambunctious pre-release propaganda
campaign which included virtually giving the entire album as in-studio videos
one-by-one, as well as the release of a video filmed in an abandoned factory in
Philadelphia after midnight where the band and album names were laser-etched
onto a slab of beef jerky. Now, for their final swindle before the dropping of
the Flesh Hammer, the entire album has been carved up and served over at
No Clean Singing in one big old family-style helping for all to gorge upon, the
open-all-day purveyor noting of the platter, "Fossils do create
skull-splitting grooves, but they also generate a storm of hornet-swarm riffs
that veer from feedback-drenched cacophony to some seriously spine-shaking rock
'n' roll. It's more than slightly unhinged - it's rude, raving, and
radioactive."
Leave your utensils behind; get your hands dirty and feast on the Flesh
Hammer right now, RIGHT HERE.
And just because the record is streaming now, doesn't mean you can't
still scope out that gnarly laser vs. beef jerky episode with the "Filet
Horizon" video playing HERE.
The bangin' Flesh Hammer wax -- limited to 300 copies on virgin
black vinyl -- is shipping now! Order direct from the sole North American
meatmarket carrying the Flesh Hammer, Earsplit Distro, right HERE or direct from Indisciplinarian web shop HERE.
The release Flesh Hammer will be celebrated with two Danish
release shows, at Radar in Aarhus on February 28th and at Beta in Copenhagen,
on March 1st. In the unconventional spirit of FOSSILS, these will not simply be
"typical" release shows with the usual canapés and support bands, but
instead an overload of awesome musical guests will be involved in each of the
performances, not at least at the Aarhus gig where the program is quite
overwhelming. Aarhus will see the resurrection of FOSSILS' old band, the local
high-octane rock n' roll heroes, Studson playing a sweet set of oldies but
goodies. Then FOSSILS will mutate into their own doom version, Slissof,
covering an old Cola Freaks-classic with several guests from Cola Freaks,
Rising and Studson. Hereafter, FOSSILS will perform Flesh Hammer from
beginning to end, and finally the dynamic duo concludes the show when joined by
numerous vocalists such as Jacob Bredahl (The Kandidate, ex-HateSphere) and Kim
Kix (Powersolo) who will interpret various FOSSILS compositions from earlier
releases. In Copenhagen FOSSILS will play a more straight-up set and special
guests will be the aforementioned Studson and new local rock outfit, Weak.
FOSSILS Flesh Hammer Record Release Shows:
2/28/2014 Beta - Copenhagen, Denmark
3/01/2014 Radar - Arhaus, Denmark
"This here
is well written yet chaotic buzzing and distorted bass and drum instrumental
attacks bouncing off your skull in a jackhammer whir of snare hits and tom
rolls, screeching noise and sped up Tool riffs. Insane cymbal work and
especially addictive kick drum patterns... Show your teeth!" - Metal Riot
"My
bobble-head was nodding by the time it ended (I'm talking about the thing that
sits between my shoulders)." - No Clean Singing
"These
Danish fellows are energetic and loud, and while they like to keep things
short, they pack as much noise as they can into each and every track... Imagine
The Jesus Lizard and Kylesa combined forces... Their music is loud and
constantly shifting rhythms and tempos." - Media Snobs
