Rising from the ashes of the recently self-immolated GRIDLINK, Takafumi Matsubara and Bryan Fajardo now set mission coordinates towards BARREN PATH.
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. This is music for a vicious, unforgiving world.
The new band unveil here their second single "Horizonless" taken from the debut album "Grieving" coming October 31 via Willowtip Records.
In Stores October 31 on CD/LP/Digital

lyrics:
Room with no windows, spiraling inward pattern.
Trying to connect the broken pieces, as feral eyes look back from awkward corners.
Their mouths dripping with poison. Unraveling with envious fixation on being recognized.
For something… anything.
Pacing back and forth. Cycle of lunacy.
Horizonless. Utterly fucking lost and despondent.
Horizonless.
In a room with no windows. Dejected.
Door is open, yet trapped inside.
Line-up:
Takafumi Matsubara : Guitar
Bryan Fajardo : Drums
Mitchell Luna: Vocals
Rory Kobzina : Guitar
Mauro Cordoba: Bass
