Official press release:
Set in a bleak atmosphere of filth, malaise, and decaying infrastructure, Replicant is a New Jersey trio intent on producing despotic, depraved and pummeling riffs — a grinding and grooving aural consequence of the industrial primordial swamp that defines their surroundings. Featuring current members of technical death metal band Dystrophy, Replicant is morbidly heavy, brutally extreme, and frighteningly dark. The band will unleash their Negative Life full-length this March. The ten-track follow-up to 2016’s critically-lauded Worthless Desires debut was engineered by guitarist Peter Lloyd at One Stone Recording and mastered by Alan Douches (Cannabis Corpse, Tombs, Converge, Revocation) at West West Side Music.
Negative Life will see release on CD via PRC Music and digitally by the band on March 23rd. In advance of its release, today Decibel Magazine spews forth a first taste of the record in the form of “Chaotic Neutral”.
Issues the band:
“‘Chaotic Neutral’ is a compressed foray into the depravity of Negative Life, a microcosm of the album. It’s maddening, dirty, and unsterilized. In essence, it’s about lacking purpose and indifferently seeking out base pleasures.”
