NEWS: Ingested watch you fold!

While Manchester Death Metal skull splitters Ingested are in North America as part of this year’s incarnation of the Chaos & Carnage Tour alongside Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox, their new album “Denigration” will be released by Metal Blade Records. Across ten tracks the four piece are aided and abetted by four guest vocalists with John Gallagher of Dying Fetus, Damonteal Harris of PeelingFlesh, Skyler Conder of Cell and Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher all playing their parts in amplifying the record’s scope and intensity. You can get it on 8th May but first “Watch You Fold” with the aforementioned John Gallagher is everywhere that’s good.

The band comment: “’Watch You Fold‘ is a character assassination in slow motion. Lyrically, it‘s aimed at the kind of smug, greedy parasite who hides behind legacy and respectability while everyone around them suffocates. It‘s about institutions and individuals who turned a once-respected space into a ’fifty-year mockery,‘ treating people like expendable fuel while they count the cash. The song is us standing in that claustrophobic room, calling out the lies, and promising that if you come for five of us, you‘re actually coming for every single person we stand with”

“The music is a deliberate nod to that mid-2000s Unique Leader school of blasting brutal death metal, fused with Sean‘s melodic, brooding sense of atmosphere. It‘s technical without showboating, relentless without losing groove, and built around riffs that feel like concrete. Having John Gallagher from Dying Fetus on the track was about closing a circle, his gutturals are instantly recognizable and tie the whole thing back to the era that shaped our sense of heaviness. This is the sound of a once-revered statue being dragged off its plinth and smashed to dust.”
