Bunch of new American psychos just dropped…
What's really heavy, masked, mysterious, sounds like it was made by complete lunatics, and involves Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson and producer Ross Robinson? Don't go with that first answer - we're talking about new U.S. metal maniacs Swollen Teeth, who have just dropped their first banger, the furious SWOLLENTEETH.
Produced by Sid, this first look at them is as wild as you'd expect, especially when the band themselves say that, they "travel in our dimension but are not of it. This is otherworldly chaos without apology."
Sid, meanwhile, reveals what attracted him to them in the first place. It's lofty praise, indeed: “After all these years, when I thought I’d never find another group of humans outside of Slipknot that knew the formula to transparency thru frequencies, and not thru appearance, I discovered Swollen Teeth. This is trü-metal!”
The band's self-titled debut EP drops on April 26. It'll be the first release on newly-minted label Blowed Out Records, a joint venture between Ross Robinson, Ghostemane and Bill Armstrong of Sideonedummy Records.
"Sid and I listening to roughs in Iowa, emotions ran high," says Ross. "I found myself getting chills throughout my body to that familiar molten metal pulse I love so much – this time that force is known as Swollen Teeth – [their] hunger [and] talent have that vibration I can’t ignore. Blowed Out Records are totally committed to rip it out there for the long haul."
