GRUESOME - Frailty (Official Audio)

Показать описание

New GRUESOME digital single! On tour this Summer with Sabbat in EU.

Death Metal defenders of the old GRUESOME return with “Frailty”, their first new song in 4 years!

GRUESOME will begin recording their new full-length & follow up to 2018’s Twisted Prayers, this Summer. The album will continue GRUESOME’s descent through DEATH’s catalog with their take on the legendary Human full-length. The upcoming full-length marks a special moment in the band’s catalog as drummer Gus Rios & Human drummer Sean Reinert were extremely close friends. The album is more than just an homage to Chuck and Sean, but a celebration of dear friends we’ve lost way too soon.

GRUESOME Frontman Matt Harvey comments:

"We're all very psyched to get Gruesome going full force once more this summer - between the single, the European tour with Sabbat and, most importantly, undertaking work on the next record, we'll be getting into some exciting territory and I hope people are psyched to go with us!"

GRUESOME Drummer Gus Rios comments on the new song & upcoming album recording:

“Finding the words to describe the immense series of emotions that have already gone into this album's process is proving to be similarly as difficult as the process itself. The seemingly impossible task of having to emulate not only one the most skilled, cherished and influential drummers of all time, but also the closest friend I've ever had is a challenge that legitimately has taken years to even attempt. Not only is the material extremely challenging to play, but I also feel deep sadness every single time I sit down to work on it. That said, I feel like I owe it to my brother Sean, my band and the death metal community to give this album 110%. I had called Sean in November of 2019 telling him how terrified I was of this album and I truly needed his guidance. In true bro fashion his response to me was "dude, what do you need ME for? You're the one who's been in these trenches for years now, not me. Just be yourself, you've got this". And though ultimately our plan was for me to go and stay with him for a few days and work on this material together at his studio, life's cruelty had other plans. Sean's family lost a son and brother, the world lost a beacon of inspiration, and I lost a best friend. One global pandemic and several years later here we finally are and Gruesome is making what I consider to be not only the album of our career but also my personal greatest test of skill, resilience and will. I am NOT the drummer that Sean was, but he was my mentor, teacher and brother and I will do my very best to honor that.”

You know how much of an impact Chuck left on metal when there are two tribute bands with ex-members and a completely separate band that channels his songwriting with original tunes.

Oh, look, Chuck had kids and they continue his music ;-)

Ah Yes, Fucking Old School Progressive Death Metal! Homage To The GRUESOME Vatos & Chuck Forever! All Hail!

Seems like they're following Death's evolution in sound over the course of their albums at the same rate. This many albums in Death went from standard O.G. Death Metal to a more melodic and progressive approach as well.
What a neat concept to follow them so closely. It's like getting to hear Death run through their career taking the same exact path again but with different songs.

Good shit. Matt is like the hardest working guy in metal. Seeing Exhumed on Thursday here in Dallas. Respect.

Damn, what a tasty solo on this thing. Good to have some new Gruesome in 2024.

Chuck in the soul dimension playing a Stealth made of astral matter blazing additional leads over this shit. Well done Gruesome dewdz.

DaveKezer

Amazing that Matt Harvey can pull off Chuck’s vocals as well as his vocal duties commonly used in Exhumed and his vocals in Pounder

No eyes and webs on the logo, I guess this one is more in the vein of Human and Individual Thought Patterns, sick! Can't wait for the new full-length album!

You've done Chuck proud. This is fantastic! I've enjoyed ever Gruesome release so far, but I'm really looking forward to the new material.
