Chicagoâs most uniquely harrowing, technically ferocious chaos unit IMMORTAL BIRD is poised to deliver their anxiously awaited third album, Sin Querencia October 18th on 20 Buck Spin.
IMMORTAL BIRDâs 2019-released Thrive On Neglect LP saw the band maneuvering through an amalgam of sounds, blossoming into a warped and angular display of multi-layered anguish that now serves as a springboard for further expansion on the new album, Sin Querencia. Abandoning genre constraints, IMMORTAL BIRD coherently fuses elements of death and black metal, hardcore tumult, a dose of their cityâs noise rock agitation, and a compositional complexity that recalls stalwart boundary-pushers like Gorguts and Ulcerate. Recording as a trio on Sin Querencia, guitarist Nate Madden recorded most of the bass along with multi-instrumentalist bandmates Rae Amitay and Matt Korajczyk. The trio has evolved their collaboration to forge a cacophonous maelstrom of jagged metal intricacy with surgical clarity, seeing the combination of Madden on guitar and Korajczyk on drums at its most centered and engaging.
Amitay gives another heart-rending and diverse vocal performance over the frenzied tempest the band lays down, riven with a focused and energized hostility. They also utilize dulcet and haunting layers of clean vocals on the opening track âBioluminescent Toxinsâ in a quieter moment, demonstrating the bandâs dynamic abilities and desire to broaden their sonic horizons. Amitayâs thought-provoking lyrical range weaves through visceral subject matter, threading together allegory and allusion in vehement admonishments of hypocrisy, as well as confronting our brutal complicity and complacency in our current reality.
Featuring, aggressively muscular engineering, recording, and mixing from Pete Grossmann of Chicagoâs Bricktop Recording (Harmâs Way, Weekend Nachos, Mouth For War), the thunderous mastering work of Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Nails, Full Of Hell), and completed with cover art by the bandâs longtime artist of choice Kikyz1313 and layout and design by Eddie Limperis, Sin Querencia marks a new milestone in IMMORTAL BIRDâs now decade-plus-year history as their most structurally extreme and wide-ranging performance to date. Fans of Krallice, Inter Arma, Pyrrhon, Full Of Hell, Converge, Thantifaxath, Tomb Mold, and Yellow Eyes should not miss IMMORTAL BIRDâs Sin Querencia.
