MAGRUDERGRIND Reveal New Album Details; “Sacrificial Hire” Track Streaming

One of extreme music’s most distinctive modern acts, Magrudergrind, have returned following a 6-year hiatus. The band plays a punishing hybrid of grindcore, powerviolence and hardcore punk. Formed in 2002 in Washington, DC and currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Magrudergrind combines visceral lyrical content with a relentlessly abrasive sonic aesthetic. Owing much to the close-knit global DIY punk community, the band has since toured Europe, Asia, North and South America with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Misery Index, and countless others.
 
Magrudergrind has teamed up with Relapse Records for the release of their new album, II, on February 12th. Again the album was recorded with engineer Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studios and mastered by Brad Boatright (Obituary, Nails).

II is a savage manifesto of scathing political and personal revolution and unquestionably Magrudergrind’s most crushing and accomplished material to date. II is can be pre-ordered in digital formats here and physical formats here. The first single, “Sacrificial Hire”, is available for streaming below.
