Teen Suicide – “Bonus EP”
Another sick RECORD OF THE WEEK blog to kick your weekend off with!!
TEEN SUICIDE’S latest “Bonus EP” is a concise collection of songs which were only previously available via Dropbox links from the band’s Facebook page. Salvaged from the internet abyss between thinkpieces on Marilyn Manson’s ribcage and pictures of Omar from The Wire, “Bonus EP’s” six tracks are as genre-defying as their latest twenty six track swansong LP. Make your way to RUN FOR COVER RECORDS for more info!

IAM8BIT teamed up with DREW WISE to help bring TOBY FOX’s original score to one the the most acclaimed RPGs in recent history, UNDERTALE! The score accentuates the odyssey of UNDERTALE beautifully – a nostalgic, chip-riffed plummet down a 16-bit rabbit hole. The album art lovingly explores the lore of UNDERTALE further, featuring hundreds of the game’s characters – both on the heart-shaped cover collage and the interior gatefold dance party. The “Pacifist Blue” and “Genocide Red” colored vinyl is a nice *wink* to fans. Deluxe versions also receive the bonus ‘Annoying Dog’ Silkscreened 7” record as well!

Enter the domain of MITHRAS, one of the UK’s most uncompromising and extreme bands to date. Beginning their career in 1998, they have been creating compositions with celestial atmospherics, the end result is a take on death metal that is original to the fullest degree. A sonic aesthetic that is truly other-dimensional, and submerges the listener into a bleak void of blast beats, savage frequencies and shattering vocal expulsions. Hit up their forward thinking and deputed to boundary pushing label WILLOWTIP for more info!
