Mammoth Grinder Announce New Full-Length, Label

It’s been nearly four years since the last Mammoth Grinder full length “Extinction of Humanity” was released via Relapse (CD) and Cyclopean Records. That album showcased the band’s direction into a distinctly death metal permutation, full of aggression and punk rawness. The band continued in this spirit on 2011’s split LP with fellow Austin, Texas-based “Hatred Surge”. Now in 2013, after much anticipation, Mammoth Grinder has found a home on 20 Buck Spin for the release of their wildly destructive third full length album “Underworlds”.

“Underworlds” marks a peak at which Mammoth Grinder have sharpened and perfected their sound into a seething grind/death/thrash maelstrom of intense degree; unrelenting in its concentrated raw precision and focused power, “Underworlds” careens violently through ten tracks with effortless versatility and the fixated songcraft expected of a band on their third record. Tracks like “Wraparound Eyes” with its Unleashed style mid-section or the short sharp shock of “Paragon Pusher” illustrate Mammoth Grinder’s mastery over multiple variations of metal to assemble their own sound. Fans of Entombed, Pig Destroyer, Municipal Waste, Discharge, Napalm Death and Iron Lung will beat themselves into submission for missing out on this album, so do yourself a favor, and don’t miss out on it…

Mammoth Grinder is a live band and that is where the songs on “Underworlds” will expose their most virulent strain. Additionally the album is adorned with artwork by the legendary Joe Petagno whose work has graced albums from artists like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin to Motörhead and Marduk. View the cover art here.

20 Buck Spin will expose the damaging “Underworlds” on LP, CD and digital worldwide on July 23, and Mammoth Grinder shall tour extensively upon the album’s release. In the meantime the band will play out regionally, providing support for the May 10th appearance of this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour featuring Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death and Immolation as it hits Houston, Texas, and a badass spot alongside Magic Circle, Iron Lung, Cruciamentum, Tragedy and the almighty Bolt Thrower at this year’s Chaos in Tejas in MG’s hometown of Austin on Friday, May 31.
