Metal Blade Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSpeaking about the single, drummer and founder Lee Harrison<\/strong> elaborates, \u201cThe Atrophied<\/strong>\u00a0contains all the hallmarks of a classic MONSTROSITY<\/strong> song. From the opening drum rolls and Mark Van Erp<\/strong>\u2019s spiraling bass intro, it surges forward with ferocious blasting energy, then weaves through a dynamic landscape of devastating riffs and intricate rhythmic shifts. This was an important song for us to get right, and I feel the guys really pulled through with this one. Our new vocalist Ed Webb<\/strong> commands the storm, shifting seamlessly from guttural depths to razor sharp highs and lending the performance a gripping, almost cinematic intensity. Matt Barnes<\/strong> unleashes chaotic and spiraling melodic runs that echo the band\u2019s most iconic moments, with additional crushing guitar work by Justin Walker<\/strong>. I aimed to craft the lyrics as a haunting narrative of decay and collapse, perfectly framed by the forceful and punishing production from Audiohammer<\/strong> and Morrisound<\/strong> Studios<\/strong>. \u2018The Atrophied<\/strong>\u00a0delivers MONSTROSITY<\/strong> at our most direct and ferocious!\u201d<\/p>\nGuitarist Matt Barnes<\/strong> adds, \u201cThe Atrophied<\/strong> came together through our usual working method, but it delivered an unexpected result in the end. Lee<\/strong> brought the song to the table in a stripped down, skeletal form. We spent a lot of time sending demos back and forth, adding transitions, tweaking riffs, changing a few notes\u2026 the usual. But something happened along the way. Once we finished writing it and everyone had their parts locked in, when we finally played it all together, it felt more like an epic saga than just another death metal song. The Atrophied<\/strong>\u00a0may be the most musically and emotionally complex song MONSTROSITY<\/strong> has ever recorded. Don\u2019t get me wrong, we\u2019ve had songs that were more complex in terms of pure technical nuts and bolts, real fretboard acrobatics, but those tracks are usually locked into one mood, one color. \u2018The Atrophied<\/strong>\u2019 for me, carries the feel of a 15-minute RUSH <\/b>or IRON MAIDEN<\/b>\u00a0epic, yet it\u2019s tightly condensed, unpretentious, and, as always, unabashedly death metal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nListen to The Atrophied here:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
