Portuguese grindcore masters BESTA return this autumn with their fiercest work to date. Their reimagined album John Carpenter Redux will be released October 4th via Raging Planet in an exclusive limited vinyl edition. Originally unleashed in 2013 and mixed by Steve Austin (Today Is The Day), the record has now been completely re-mixed and reimagined by the band itself, with long-time frontman Paulo Rui re-recording all vocals to deliver the most unhinged and powerful version yet. As the ultimate homage to the master of horror, John Carpenter Redux bridges feral grindcore and politically charged punk, channeling the same tension, anger, and resistance that fuel many of Carpenter’s timeless films. The result is raw, uncompromising, and urgent, a soundtrack to chaos that feels both cinematic and confrontational. Just recently, Decibel Magazine has premiered the brand-new single “Estrela Negra”, commenting:
“The blistering stab of Euro grindcore comes straight outta Lisbon and is sung in the quartet’s native language…” Watch the “Estrela Negra” premiere now at Decibel Magazine. This is BESTA at their fiercest: a band with over a decade of grinding, raging, and raging against the system, now paying tribute to one of cinema’s most visionary rebels. |
