“… a delightful exercise in weirdness…” – Invisible Oranges
“Pentangle Of Broken Teeth” is the most appropriate title for the damaging new single from English grindcore duo HERETIC PLAGUE, the latest preview of their debut album, Context Is A Stumbling Corpse, nearing early-April release through Selfmadegod Records.
From the fractured and hope-starved shores of the UK comes HERETIC PLAGUE. Blending a wide range of influences into a savage cocktail of extremity, the band was created by guitarist/bassist Adam Watts, an original member of cult UK grind band Beef Conspiracy, joined by his former bandmate Tom Bradfield who provides vocals and beats for the project. Bradfield is also a member of the bands Repulsive Dissection, Twitch Of The Death Nerve, Infected Disarray, and operates the label Grindethic Records. Together, the duo introduces a vile brew of death-infused grind with horror aesthetics in the vein of Nasum, Cryptopsy, early Brutal Truth, and Pig Destroyer.
Context Is A Stumbling Corpse was recorded at Grindethic HQ, mixed and mastered by Tom Bradfield, and completed with artwork and layout by Bradfield and Midjourney
With “Pentangle Of Broken Teeth,” Watts writes, “This is probably my favorite song on the album, it appeals to my absolute lack of attention span. We threw everything at this track and it’s probably the most complex song I’ve been involved in writing. The title fits nicely, with the idea of creating anything from teeth being immediately pretty grotesque. I had this idea about somebody harvesting teeth and summoning some ancient beast with them.”
Invisible Oranges writes, “The UK band cultivates an air of creeping madness on their debut album, toying with surreal subject matter. It raises the hairs on the back of my neck, but it’s an enjoyable kind of discomfort. Every track is a delightful exercise in weirdness… The album bounces from one demented riff to another, constantly changing up drumming patterns as it goes to reinforce this air of urgent, unpredictable insanity.”
