Alert the media: Florida Man has finally started a band as reckless and completely fucked as the headlines we’ve all come to know, love, and fear.
MEATWOUND is a band comprised of former members of Combatwoundedveteran, The Holy Mountain, Headless Dogs, Primate Research, and more. Impossibly dangerous and hardcore as shit, a thundering concoction of 1990s influences drive the MEATWOUND sound; a magnetic gutter wherein the pentatonic, industrialized elements of Fudge Tunnel and Godflesh meet a sordid death metal edge meshing Sepultura and Exit-13, all while a throbbing Big Black-style of hardcore punk gets a scuzzy sci-fi kick in the nuts that harkens The Locust. It’s beyond aggressive, it’s as unruly as a pet store on fire, and, like Warchild from “Point Break,” it’s here to fuck you up.
Addio, MEATWOUND‘s debut, was recorded with Dan Byer at Rock Garden Recording in St. Petersburg, Florida, mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound, and features the twisted artwork of Chris Norris, aka Steak Mtn. The population takes first warning shot from Addio straight in the kisser this week as Cvlt Nation blasts forth the LP’s second track, “Funeral State,” offering how MEATWOUND, “brings a dirty death metal edge and a slew of 1990s influences to their brand of raging audio warfare, and will knock the top off your skull and leave you suffering from blunt force riff trauma!”

Magic Bullet Records will release MEATWOUND‘s grueling Addio digitally on July 17th followed by a CD pressing and both red and black 12″ vinyl LP on July 24th. Preorders for all formats will be available in the coming days, along with additional audio from the album, an official video and more.
MEATWOUND continues to slay live masses live, with several new shows booked for the coming weeks, including two shows supporting Black Tusk this week, and a gig in late August with Assholeparade, Palatka, Suppression and others. Additional and more widespread tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks, including a record release show for Addio in early August.
