DIE CHOKING: Entire III Debut LP Playing At Stereogum; Album Out This Week Via The Compound Recs

\"choking\"

Philadelphia\’s uncompromising hyperthrash/grindcore trio, DIE CHOKING, will digitally deploy their debut full-length this week in the form of III, via The Compound Recs, with the vinyl to see release in two weeks. With the initial release now just days away, Stereogum lets the beast off the chain early with an exclusive stream of the entire album.

DIE CHOKING\’s III picks up where their prior self-titled and II 7\” EP\’s left off, unloading the band\’s incredibly harsh views on humankind\’s treacherous ways with even more intense levels of scathing and cynical wrath through eleven brand new tracks. Recorded with producer Will Yip at the renowned Studio 4 (Lauryn Hill, Blacklisted, Cop Problem) with and mastered by Brad Boatright (Nails, Integrity, Full Of Hell) at Audiosiege. Stripped of overproduction and performed with devastating efficiency, with no samples or triggers utilized in the recording and mixing process, the record captures a concentrated dose of the densest grindcore ever created and one of 2015\’s most extreme recordings.

While dispersing the album into worldwide mainstream audiences, Stereogum issues alongside their exclusive, early stream of the album, \”…III\’s not all flying spittle and popping veins. DIE CHOKING channels the intensity with a subtle songwriting intelligence that begins to emerge after the initial shock of their impact wears off. While none of these sub-2-minute rippers approaches the kind of melodicism that Gridlink or Beaten To Death traffic in, each breathes just enough to sustain a life of its own within the album\’s harsh ecosystem. The wealth of key riffs doesn\’t hurt, either.\”

Stream DIE CHOKING\’s entire III LP through Stereogum now at THIS LOCATION.

III will see digital release this Thursday, October 8th, followed by a deluxe vinyl version 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.

Having just returned home from their Escape The Pope Tour through the Northeast US, DIE CHOKING is preparing for their next massive tour offensive, as several runs of touring in support of III are rapidly approaching. Beginning October 22nd — one day after the vinyl is released — DIE CHOKING will return to the Midwest on their way out to their first ever West Coast tour dates before touring back across the country. The rampage continues afterward, with multiple record release shows, a spot at the fourth South Jersey Metal Fest and more, along the way performing with the likes of Mother Brain, Grin & Bear It, Carved Up, Rivers Of Nihil, Surgeon and more.
