New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After eight long, eventful years, San Francisco's most deranged death/grind freaks CRETIN are back with a brand new full-length album, and major media portal NPR has just premiered the new song, "Ghost of Teeth and Hair." As NPR's Lars Gotrich notes, "CRETIN makes no apologies for its allegiances to the grind and death-metal fathers of nasty - Carcass, Repulsion and Autopsy - heard here in a ferocious chug-a-lug that hits like a steel-toe boot to the shins."
Listen to "Ghost of Teeth and Hair" and check out the rest of what NPR had to say at this location
A perverted homage to the glory days of proto-grind and raw, depraved death metal, Cretin have perfected the lo-fi stylings of Repulsion, Autopsy and early Napalm Death on their highly anticipated sophomore full-length and second Relapse Records release, Stranger. Relapse is hosting an exclusive first listen to album opener "It" at this location, and check out the creepified promo video on Youtube here - you have been warned!
Grab an exclusive preorder bundle with t-shirt and black or blue-and-orange merge vinyl (or CD) from the Relapse webstore here or preorder the digital version directly from the band at their Bandcamp page. Preorder the album via Itunes here.
Oozing with violent, buzz-saw guitars, grinding grooves and blasts, a gut-wrenching low end and utterly deviant vocals/lyrics, Stranger will bring a malignant smile to those who prefer their listening sick and twisted. The album will be released by Relapse Records on CD, digital, and vinyl formats on December 9, 2014.
