Illinois deathgrind outfit Blind Equation have released their third full-length A Funeral In Purgatory via Prosthetic Records. You can listen to the effort below and purchase it here. Speaking of album, bandleader James McHenry notes:
“This is the most aggressive and most violently passionate the project has ever been, yet it is the most atmospheric and still shimmers melodically when it needs to. The heavy moments are heavier and the soft moments are even more vulnerable as well. With the project being 90% digital, I wanted the instrumentals to still be as emotional as the lyrics and vocals and I feel they compliment each other the best they ever have for this record.”
Additionally, the group have confirmed an August tour in support of the record that will end with a hometown record release show at Chicago venue Subterranean Upstairs. Support on these dates will vary with fallingwithscissors and Spear of Cassius joining them on the first half and Rakuyo on the latter end.
