GROTESQUERIES - Nightmare Delirium EP

t's been three years since GROTESQUERIES' massive debut album, Vile Crematory, but now the band returns with a new EP titled Nightmare Delirium. Totaling four tracks across 16 minutes, Nightmare Delirium is as aptly titled as GROTESQUERIES' celebrated first full-length, but the record sees the band shifting to a duo: Anthony Paulini of Coffin Birth was recruited to handle bass and guitar duties, with founder Yianni Tranxidis remaining on drums and vocals. Nevertheless, the sound here is just as massive as ever: surging & stomping old-school DEATH METAL, with influence drawn equally from America and Europe. If anything, GROTESQUERIES' ruminations are sharper and more slicing than ever, which is suiting to Nightmare Delirium's lyrical focus on manipulation & fear and the ways they usurp the mind: contrived corruption through malicious intent. Concluding with a cover of Cannibal Corpse's "Gutted," this four-tracker gets in and gets the fuck out with extreme efficiency!

Nightmare Delirium is out November 20th
