GRIDFAILURE: Further Layers Of Societal Collapse Available For Free Download; Drought Stick Confirmed

Posted on 10/31/2016 by the compound

GRIDFAILURE‘s Further Layers Of Societal Collapse EP has infected the masses through free digital download.

With seven tracks harnessing twenty-six minutes of harrowing dementia, Further Layers Of Societal Collapse meshes the ghostly elements of dark ambient, power electronics, and industrial metal with more percussive elements and guitars than the Ensuring The Bloodline Ends Here debut, thundering with confrontational and exploratory vocal wrath, all meeting on a rudderless course where anything goes. Contributions from cohorts BJ Allen (Full Scale Riot) and Pete Tsakiris reflect the first recorded GRIDFAILURE collaborations to see release, all traits that repeat heavily in the act’s other upcoming titles.

**Download Further Layers Of Societal Collapse for free at Bandcamp HERE and HERE and Soundcloud HERE**.

GRIDFAILURE’s recent collaboration with Walking Bombs – the Tad Doyle-mastered “Demagogue” – is playing HERE.

A limited cassette version of Further Layers Of Societal Collapse will be produced and released through The Compound Recs. shortly.

The haunted works of GRIDFAILURE are the experimental runoff of David Brenner (Earsplit, ex-Theologian, ex-Heidnik), created through the unhinged abuse of countless instruments field recording tactics. Having been incessantly recording and collaborating with an array of henchpersons over recent months, the outfit is currently completing a newly identified release, classified Drought Stick, which explores more spacious, echoing movements fit for intoxicated wasteland somnambulance, and The visionary realms of the cannibalistic Teeth Collection album continue to take shape, as well as a split cassette release with Richmond-based ambient soloist Never Presence Forever, several videos, and even more.

GRIDFAILURE Issues “Digital Crush” At Metal Riot; Further Layers Of Societal Collapse EP Nears Free Samhain Release

Posted on 10/17/2016 by the compound

Hostile alchemist GRIDFAILURE has completed the Further Layers Of Societal Collapse EP impending its free digital distribution on Samhain 2016, leaking new track “Digital Crush” through Metal Riot.

GRIDFAILURE is the auditory harvest of David Brenner (Earsplit, ex-Theologian, ex-Heidnik), who abuses dozens of instruments, brewing a haunted apocalypse aura. The outfit’s Ensuring The Bloodline Ends Here debut was released in May via The Compound Recs. With a second album, Teeth Collection, nearing completion, Further Layers Of Societal Collapse provides some insight of the bizarre directions the unit’s output is taking. The use of field recordings infusing elements of nature and civilization into the mix carries into the new material, which infuses more percussive elements and guitars than the debut. Contributions from cohorts BJ Allen (Full Scale Riot) and Pete Tsakiris reflect the first GRIDFAILURE collaborations to see release, a trait that lies heavily in the upcoming releases.

GRIDFAILURE’s Further Layers Of Societal Collapse delivers nearly a half-hour of unharnessed dementia, infiltrating additional realms of biomechanical madness, meshing ghostly and fractured elements of dark ambient, power electronics, and industrial metal with the confrontational wrath of tectonic hardcore on a rudderless course where anything goes.

This confrontational dementia is depicted in “Digital Crush,” playing at Metal Riot RIGHT HERE.

Hear the EP’s “Woodlands Of Self-Impalement” via Loudwire HERE, and the GRIDFAILURE-infused anti-Trump “Demagogue” by Walking Bombs, mastered by Tad Doyle, at Blow The Scene HERE.

GRIDFAILURE will offer Further Layers Of Societal Collapse as a free download on October 31st through Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and more, with a limited cassette version to follow in November; find your Walkman ASAP.

Orders for GRIDFAILURE‘s Ensuring The Bloodline Ends Here eco-wallet CD receive free paraphernalia HERE; digitally the album can be found at Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes, and most others.

Also join the macabre lounge/fight act for the end of everything on GRIDFAILURE’s upcoming Teeth Collection album, split with Never Presence Forever, and multiple other upcoming splits, EPs, and collaborations, all likely to see release by the end of the year.

Download Further Layers Of Societal Collapse for free at Bandcamp HERE and HERE and Soundcloud HERE.
