Photo credit: John Sugden @ Reprieve Vision Formed in 2018 and featuring members of Spitting Glass, Viscera have established themselves as a formidable force in modern extreme metal, having already toured alongside heavyweights such as Lorna Shore, Despised Icon, Decapitated, Ingested, Distant, Oceano, Cabal and more. With a reputation for their uncompromising and commanding live performances, the UK quintet take their sound to new heights on their upcoming third full-length, Hunting Season. Featuring guest appearances from Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Joe Bad (Fit for An Autopsy/Spitting Glass), Andreas Bjulver (Cabal), Alan Grnja (Distant), Jon Robert Centorrino (Dirt Helmet, ex-Crystal Lake/TLTSOL), Hunting Season was recorded at The Arch Studios (Ingested, Dragged Into Sunlight) with Andy Mallaby (Osiah) then mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Despised Icon, Shadow Of Intent). The band insisted on recording in a big live room to capture that energy and to make sure all of the vocal tracks were single takes, straight up the middle. The resulting 10 songs are raw and organic, driven by a massive low end and crushing guitar tone, providing a punishing backdrop for the record’s unsettling lyrical narrative. “The album’s central theme is fear and misinformation,” Viscera explains. “The ‘Hivemind’ can be easily antagonised as a group and attack anything near, regardless of its intention. We used Hornet imagery to represent this throughout the artwork (art by Shindy Reehal of Shindy Design). The album is about fear, tribalism, social imbalance, violence and how the four intertwine to potent effect on our society. ‘Hunting Season’ as a titular theme refers to how easily the masses can be swayed with false information or an idea that catches a spark. A lot of the songs are about internal struggles to fit into an ever changing social ‘hive’ where our identities are becoming more and more complex/fragile.” “RUN FOR YOUR LIVES. NO ONE IS SAFE. HUNTING SEASON.” Viscera line-up: Jamie Graham – vocals Charlie Michael – guitars Adam Bell – guitars Chris Keepin – bass Danny Yates – drums Viscera online: https://www.instagram.com/visceraofficial https://www.facebook.com/VisceraUK/ |
