SECRET CUTTER - Self Titled [LP]

Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based trio, SECRET CUTTER, has independently released their debut full-length LP, Self Titled... yes, it's called Self Titled, not Secret Cutter. SECRET CUTTER is at once familiar -- utilizing the unchained tactics of Deadguy or Converge but conveyed through a sludge-filled wall of sonic concentration in the ways of Eyehategod, Floor or Godflesh -- yet their inimitable delivery is instantly infectious fully on its own accord. Their enraged, grimy anthems have devastated audiences across the East Coast the meager three-piece -- vocalist Ekim, drummer Jared Stimpfl and guitarist Evan Morey -- packing a backline sufficient to power a band twice their size, delivering a live show as intense as their recorded material. Following their debut EP, If You Don't Hate Yourself, You're Not Paying Attention, released on Square of Opposition Records, now crawls forth the band’s first full-length release. With over twenty-six minutes of new material, fully produced by the band at Stimpfl's own Captured Recording Studios, a maelstrom of their most forceful songwriting, and eclectic, brutal musical dementia comes alive with ten vigorous tracks. Released through SECRET CUTTER’s own Bethlehem Rust label, the LP comes on black wax and includes a digital download code. [Bethlehem Rust]
