IMMORTAL BIRD will be touring in support of their critically-lauded Empress/Abscess full-length, released last year via a collaborative effort with Broken Limbs Recordings (vinyl/cassette) and the band’s own Manatee Rampage Recordings (CD/digital). Tracked by Pete Grossmann (Weekend Nachos, Harms Way, Dead In The Dirt) at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, Illinois and mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Nader Sadek, Atheist, Origin etc.) at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves in Queens, New York, Empress/Abscess is a vexing sound excursion through the very bowels of human existence and continues to traumatize the ears of critics globally. In a recent review, Blurt Online commends a record that’s, “fiercely aggressive yet surprisingly accessible,” further elaborating, “the Chicago quartet rips a new earhole to anyone within range… Singer Rae Amitay remains a force of nature, in much the same way as a hurricane that’s laying waste to some hapless coastline.” Bearded Gentlemen warns, “there is some serious venom in this music,” while Invisible Oranges celebrates “…a densely layered meditation on anger and abuse, and an equally challenging collage of extreme music sub-genres.” Adds Dead Rhetoric, “thoroughly engrossing from start to finish, Empress/Abscess is an impressive display of genre-mashing that others simply dream of attaining…”
Empress/Abscess is available now on vinyl and cassette HERE and on CD and digitally HERE.
