Since their malformation in 2014, the San Franciscan sickos CARTILAGE have brewed a special concoction of gory Deathgrind so foul, it would leave Carcass and Impetigo screaming in horror.
After spending their formative years sharpening their axes, the crew entered Greg Wilkinson’s Earhammer Studios to spawn their debut full-length Dialect of the Dead (2017).
With a wealth of shows throughout the East and West Coasts and a US tour with Gruesome under their leathers, the five-piece have tightened into a well-bloodied machine.
The dead may rest but the grind goes on. Cartilage are serving up another frenzied feast with a new EP, Tales from the Entrails: A Necrology via Everlasting Spew Records. The blastmasters took their studio operations to home base, enlisting Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Ghoul, Thrice) for recording and mixing duties, while the genre’s perennial grindfather Leon del Muerte (Impaled, Exhumed, Nails) handled mastering. The Bay Area gore titans continue to spill their guts across the land but with new tools in their trade: twisting harmonies and cinematic set-pieces now compliment Cartilage’s arsenal of blistering blasts, ripcord riffs, and deranged shrieks fans know to expect.
For fans of Exhumed, Impaled, Carcass, Pharmacist.
