“…a cavalcade of sonic violence of the highest order and should not be missed.” — Metal Injection
Seattle death grinders THEORIES will bring their scathing psalms to the streets this May on a US tour supporting Neckbeard Deathcamp. The Free Speech In America Tour kicks off on May 27th. Additional support will be provided by Wvrm, No Convictions, and Dryad on select shows. See confirmed dates below.
THEORIES — featuring within its ranks members of Samothrace, Black Breath, Skarp, Book Of Black Earth, and more — will be touring in support of their forthcoming new full-length, Vessel. Recorded and mixed by Andy Patterson (Cult Leader, Gaza, Eagle Twin) at The Boars Nest in Salt Lake City, Utah and mastered by Dave Otero (Primitive Man, Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation) at Flatline Audio in Denver, Colorado, Vessel is raw, grimy, and absolutely punishing; the sound THEORIES has been striving for since their inception. Hails The Black Dahlia Murder’s Trevor Strnad in this month’s Metal Injection Obituarist column, “It culls from not only the annals of classic Nasum style grind but also injects a good bit of dissonant guitar work, stanky OSDM, finger-pointing hardcore fury, and a dose of vitriolic black metal. There’s something very modern and urban about this album. It’s slams your face specifically on the black top with an unshakeable dystopian vibe.”
THEORIES’ Vessel will be released on CD, digital, and vinyl formats via Corpse Flower Records on April 12th. For preorders visit the Corpse Flower Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION where “Human Vessel Cell,” and “Ill Will” can be streamed.

Forged in 2011, THEORIES released their Regression debut in 2015 on Metal Blade, a worthy introduction of Lee McGlothlen’s (Black Breath) caterwauling guitar riffs, Kush Karimi’s nauseating bass attack, and the relentlessly creative drumming of Joe Axler (ex-Samothrace, Skarp, Book Of Black Earth). The band toured extensively, appearing at Maryland Deathfest and Southwest Terror Fest, and sharing stages with the likes of Goatwhore, Black Breath, Mutilation Rites, Wake, and Ghoul before coming home and refining their sound into something even more intense and inscrutable. After parting ways with their frontman, the band recruited Wes Harrison on second guitar, and created their new three-vocal attack that further adds to the chaos of Vessel, an album that pulls from multiple extremes to carve out its own grisly niche.
“…a ten-track ripper that crashes upon the listener in wave after wave of riff-driven intensity.” — Decibel
