Debiut PLASMODULATED na początku sierpnia

 

On August 1st internationally, Personal Records in conspiracy with Gurgling Gore and Dawnbreed Records are proud to present Plasmodulated's highly anticipated debut album, An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell. Personal and Dawnbreed will be handling the CD version while Gurgling Gore and Dawnbreed will be handling the vinyl and cassette versions.

At first a solo side-project of Myk Colby from Wharflurch, Plasmodulated took on a new, grotesque life with the addition of a live lineup in early 2023: Josh Goldner on guitar, Jonathan Griffin on drums, and Carlos Salas on bass. Yucky vibes were initiated, shows were played, and soon, the writing of new material began in earnest, pushing the levels of yuckiness to new, more mind-bending heights. Razor-sharp riffs and changes coagulate with the punishing angularity that the drums summon, laying a foundation for tales of disgusting phenomena belched forth in well-enunciated guttural bursts.

By insisting their death metal mechanics are employed with guitars close to standard tuning, Plasmodulated set themselves apart from the downtuned morass that seems most familiar in death metal these days. Unlike most modern death metal, the guitars are up-tuned – an ode to death metal’s infancy when E standard was the norm on albums like Slowly We Rot, Seven Churches, and Morbid Visions. What's more, moments of thrash metal madness flash out maniacally, and death-doom expansiveness also permeates the thick fog of harmonized death metal riffing that Plasmodulated conjure.

Now, after a handful of short-length releases, Plasmodulated at last unleash their debut album. An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell is the ever-apt title of that album, and it is appropriately a warning as well a way to define what you'll hear in this 40-minute plunge into Floridian swamp madness. Plasmodulated are not a band that wear their influences on their sleeves, but definite nods to Demilich and Voivod can be sensed in the DNA of these 10 tracks.

Says the band: "This is the culmination of all the work we put in for a year straight upon completing the lineup, and we think it's definitely a voyage for the mind and ears - a yucky voyage. We feel it's important for death metal to not only have SICK RIFFS aplenty, but also the atmosphere and vibe have to be vibrant and intact to create TRUE DEATH MAGICK...and that is most certainly what we feel we have conjured here!"

Sandwiched in the middle of the album is the "Gastral Realms" saga: a two-part story of human infection by an extraterrestrial parasite which drives them into a murderous rage, and the mission to try to reclaim this unlucky human host from its parasitic captor - a sci-fi horror movie in musical form! Indeed, every song presents a new, unsavory scenario of disgusting yuckiness to flummox and fracture your mind; Gruesome Graphx's cover artwork captures this sensation in lurid fashion. Immerse yourself in An Ocean ov Putrid, Stinky, Vile, Disgusting Hell!
