With the official
Arrival of their debut EP, Akrasia, now less than
Two weeks away, Chicago
Blackened death thrash dealers,
Immortal Bird, today offer up a
Taste of chaos with "Spitting Teeth."
Notes Invisible Oranges of the hymn, "I suspect that most coverage of this band will play up the Thrawsunblat connection, but the
Two have little in common.
Immortal Bird ditch the pretty pastoralism in favor of an inward-looking cosmopolitan ugliness that sometimes evokes a less-patient version of early Castevet. Opener 'Spitting Teeth' delivers their mélange at its best. Its ingredients: blurry, dissonant black
Metal fluttering; lots of nervy arpeggios; occasional stop-start trickery; dirty riffs played cleanly. Kurt Ballou's HM2-free mix ironically spotlights guitarist Evan Berry's performance more than [Rae] Amitay's, but it's not such a bad thing - his versatile playing carries the band's charge."

Soundtrack to your greatest dental nightmares with "Spitting Teeth," now streaming at Invisible Oranges
RIGHT HERE.
Akrasia was recorded at Lo-Tech Laboratories this past Summer by unsung Windy City sound
Sorcerer Jeff Ziolo, mixed by Kurt Ballou (
Converge,
Isis,
High On Fire,
Skeletonwitch) at Godcity Studio, mastered by Brad Boatright (
Sleep,
From Ashes Rise,
Nails, All Pigs Must
Die) at Audiosiege and spews forth four tracks of punishingly filthtified brutality. Led by the diseased vocal oscillations of Amitay,
Immortal Bird is at once cosmic and tumultuous.
Immortal Bird took its perverted form when Amitay (Thrawsunblat) yearned to step out from behind the confines of her drum kit, write some riffs and scream. With those dreams in tow, she enlisted the help of longtime friend/guitarist Evan Berry (Wilderun, Replacire) and bassist John Picillo. With Amitay opting to handle the mic onstage (while tackling drums and vocals on their albums), Garry Naples (
Novembers Doom, Kastasyde, Without Waves) was recruited to take on all live drumming duties.
Akrasia is set for release via Closed
Casket Recordings on December 3rd. Preorder your copy for a cool $4.50 at
THIS LOCATION. Live rituals will be announced in the days to come.
