Another vicious portion of antagonized grindcore vengeance from DIE CHOKING is today rammed down the public’s collective throat courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting, as the massive horror culture site premieres “Millirem,” the opening track from the trio’s rapidly approaching III debut LP.

DIE CHOKING will also embark on a Northeastern blast of tour dates this week, now dubbed, Escape The Pope 2015, as this pontiff character invades the region making daily life insufferable for all nonbelievers dwelling near several major cities, including the band’s hometown of Philadelphia.

DIE CHOKING’s III —recorded at the renowned Studio 4 (Lauryn Hill, Blacklisted, Cop Problem) with producer Will Yip and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, Integrity, Full Of Hell) at Audiosiege — is a record stripped of overproduction and performed with devastating efficiency, with no samples or triggers utilized in the recording and mixing process, resulting in some of the densest grindcore ever captured, and one of the year’s most unfuckwithable releases. With III now less than three weeks from its initial street date via Earsplit’s DIY sect, The Compound Recs, the violent album-opening “Millirem” is delivered as an appropriate warning shot as to what listeners should expect from the additional ten tracks III beholds. It’s a blistering, whiplash-inducing beatdown of immeasurable proportions, as described by founding bassist/vocalist Paul Herzog, “This song represents an uncontrolled outburst of radiation at an instant of birth or death. Pulsation. Particles. Pre-existence. I have a rabid obsession with puking out waves of aural energy.” As per the fearless scribes at Bloody-Disgusting, the track discharges, “just over 90 seconds of pure sensory assault, featuring blistering drums, raging vocals, and a wall of distorted guitars, all combining to ensure maximum face melting power.”

Blaze yourself to nothingness with DIE CHOKING’s “Millirem” at Bloody-Disgusting right fucking HERE.

The ongoing III campaign has also yielded “Dwell” through Noisey RIGHT HERE, “The Prince Of Population” via Decibel HERE and “Death’s Waveform” at Cvlt Nation HERE.

III will see digital release on October 8th and the vinyl on October 23rd. A 100-copy limited pressing exclusive to The Compound Recs in an A Side/B Side black-base Two-Blue Splatter is available HERE, and the Blues Of The Mighty Haze and Blue & Bone Splatter Milky Clear pressings available through DIE CHOKING right HERE. A CD version will see co-release between Polish extreme propaganda specialists, Selfmadegod Records and The Compound at the turn of the year for the band’s first European tour in February.

DIE CHOKING, a band continually performing live, will take it to the next level in the coming weeks, with their Escape The Pope 2015 Tour, which begins this Thursday, September 24th — sees the band scathing Providence, Worcester, Manchester, Washington DC and Philadelphia — the last show on the 30th. Along the way they shall shred with the likes of Today Is The Day, Abigail Williams, Empty Vessels, ACxDC, Ramlord, Grizzor and more.

A III-based album release tour begins on October 22nd — one day after the vinyl version of the record is officially available DIY-style — which sees DIE CHOKING storming again into the Midwest, then out to the West Coast for the first time before swinging back home. Once back on the East Coast again, the rampage continues, including two record release shows, a return headlining show in Brooklyn and a spot at the fourth South Jersey Metal Fest, performing with the likes of Mother Brain, Grin & Bear It, Carved Up, Rivers Of Nihil, Surgeon and more.

Vice Magazine’s music channel, Noisey, has premiered the track “Dwell” from Philly-based ultra-grind trio, DIE CHOKING, and their III debut LP, impending October release via The Compound Recs. In addition, a CD version of the record will see release via The Compound and Selfmadegod Records this Winter.

DIE CHOKING’s mission to perpetually surpass their own boundaries is realized with damaging proof on their III debut LP. Stripped of overproduction and performed with devastating efficiency, III drips with a foul aggression that is frequently absent in today’s extreme music landscape, with no samples or triggers utilized in the recording and mixing process. The songwriting of III’s eleven tracks reflect more harsh hardcore and crust punk influences, the album recorded at the renowned Studio 4 (Lauryn Hill, Blacklisted, Cop Problem) with producer Will Yip and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, Integrity, Full Of Hell) at Audiosiege. These factors culminate into some of the densest grindcore ever captured, and one of the year’s most unfuckwithable releases. The album’s second track, “Dwell,” is exposed to the world via Noisey for the first time, the corresponding report noting how DIE CHOKING, “has grown a big reputation in short time for its unrelenting, caustic brand of socio-politically conscious, anti-authoritarian punk/metal played at tempos that come close to breaking the sound barrier,” and that III bears, “the band’s most confrontational, intense, and crust-fueled sounds yet while exploring heady philosophical concepts.”

Unload DIE CHOKING’s “Dwell” via Noisey RIGHT HERE.

Also hear III’s “The Prince Of Population” at Decibel Magazine RIGHT HERE and “Death’s Waveform” at Cvlt Nation HERE.

III will see digital release on October 8th and the vinyl on October 23rd in an alliance with Earsplit’s label faction, The Compound Recs. The LP is pressed on 180-gram wax in three insane color variants — 100 in an A Side/B Side black-base 2 Blue Splatter, exclusive to The Compound HERE, and 200 each of Blues Of The Mighty Haze and Blue & Bone Splatter Milky Clear through the band HERE.

And this just in; The Compound will co-release a CD version of III with Polish extreme propaganda specialists, Selfmadegod Records. This partnership will see DIE CHOKING making its compact disc debut at the turn of the year, just ahead of the band’s first European tour in February. A release date and further info on the CD will be available shortly.

Also just locked, DIE CHOKING drummer Joshua Cohen has been added to the roster of endorsed clients at the mighty drum equipment manufacturer, Axis Percussion.
