A marriage of brutality and precision annihilation, MUTILATRED and FROM THE HELLMOUTH's individual killing sprees collide on a monumental collaboration of malevolence. MUTILATRED's uncompromisingly heavy slam soaked brutality and FROM THE HELLMOUTH's whirlwind death metal battery will leave your carcass drenched in wretched carnage and your mind rendered to dust. Two of modern death metal's up-and-comers aim to bring extremity and brutality back to the genre and drain the sea of retro poserdom. Consider yourselves warned AND victims.
Two death metal machines hailing from Cleveland and Toledo respectively, the eight songs on the split are straightforward death metal. No frills about it.
The collaboration seems to be a natural one formed from mutual connections and playing live together.
“When Thomas [owner of Redefining Darkness Records | Seeing Red Records] approached us about doing a split with Mutilatred, we jumped on it,” says From the Hellmouth bandleader Noah Buchanan. “We’ve played a few shows together between our two cities, and we really dig their style! This was also the first opportunity to feature the new lineup on a recording. When I did the first EP, I played all the guitar, and Alan Cassidy (The Black Dahlia Murder) handled the drum duties. Now with this new split EP release under our belts, the lineup is solid – We all have something to be proud of.”
“We played with From the Hellmouth a few times and love seeing them live,” Mutilatred drummer Clay Lowe adds. “Plus we are essentially label mates with Seeing Red Records being a subsidary of Redefining Darkness Records. When presented the chance to make a split with them, we were all about it! Our styles of death metal mesh well together, and that is somewhat difficult to find in our region. We recorded our portion of the EP at Lake Bottom Studios in Toledo with the approach of making the album sound raw and as true to our live sound as possible. Hope everyone digs it!”
