Recruiting Maruta/Shock Withdrawal vocalist Mitchell Luna and re-enlisting grindcore commandos Mauro Cordoba and Rory Kobzina from the Coronet Juniper sessions, this operation requires relinquishing high tech weaponry. Only use of rudimentary blades, precision blast strikes, and amplified guttural attacks is allowed.
BARREN PATH elevate the flailing savagery of their genre through mincing, precise volleys of melodic and dissonant passages that rip and tear like a swarm of shurikens. By turns cruelly effective and strangely vulnerable, Grieving is a statement release by a new standard-bearer in grindcore.
