Official press release:
Disfiguring the Goddess will release their new album Bloom on 31st July via Seek & Strike, marking a pivotal new chapter for the long-running project helmed by Cameron Argon (aka Big Chocolate). Alongside the announcement, Argon unveils the album’s devastating new single “Low Slam Low”, a relentless, slam-driven assault built on blast beats and suffocating low end guitar that showcases Disfiguring the Goddess at its most punishing.
Watch the video for “Low Slam Low” below. Commenting on the single, Argon states:
“‘Low Slam Low’ is one of the most brutal and relentless songs on the album. It was written with a very intentional slam-focused mindset, shifting between blast beats and crushing slams that gradually morph into slower, heavier forms of themselves. A huge part of the song’s character comes from the guitar tone. I tracked it with my Gretsch Baritone tuned extremely low, and what I love about that instrument is how much body and texture it carries. On parts of this song, the guitar stops feeling like a traditional riff instrument and starts becoming more like a wall of physical texture, with the notes nearly disappearing under the weight of the tone. When the bridge hits, that is where the actual voice of the guitar comes through more clearly. The whole track is also surrounded by creepy sound design that keeps shadowing the brutality and pushing the atmosphere further. Lyrically, it is one of my favorite songs on the record because of how strange and personal it feels. There is a moment in it where I am talking about being completely alone with my thoughts, while at the same time the opening of ‘My Girl’ by The Temptations is looping in my head. That contrast captures something I really love about the song. To me, it feels like a unique contribution not only to this album, but to the more brutal and slam-oriented side of heavy music right now.”
Bloom is the first Disfiguring the Goddess release via Seek & Strike and represents a natural step forward for a project that has consistently pushed its own boundaries. Argon comments:
“Partnering with Seek & Strike marks a natural and timely evolution for Disfiguring the Goddess. As the working title became official, Bloom took on a deeper symbolic weight. It represents DTG awakening from a long slumber to become what it was always intended to be. I see myself as the firekeeper for that vision, and Seek & Strike arrived at the perfect moment to add the energy and momentum needed for this next stage.”
With Bloom, Disfiguring the Goddess continue to refine their identity with a clear focus. No compromises, no dilution, just a more direct and fully realised version of the project on a larger scale.
