Regarding the new track, bassist Ryan Jones comments:

‘Pierced Larynx’ is a song that intends to create a horrifying image of sacrifice and slaughter in return for inhuman strength and power with a freight train of chunky caveman riffs and dark storms of bends and blast beats.”

Chasm will be released via Gilead Media (US) and Argento Records (Europe) on July 20th. Pre-orders are available now via Gilead’s webstore and Bandcamp, and Argento’s Big Cartel shop.
