Expulsion - "Comatose" (Song Premiere)

At Maryland Deathfest 2016, guitarist Matt Olivo led grindcore pioneers Repulsion though a rousing version of Motorhead’s “The Hammer” in tribute to the then-recently departed Lemmy Kilmister. The experience seems to have given him the songwriting bug again.

This year, Olivo returns with a new band, Explusion comprised of former and current exhumed members Matt Harvey and Danny Walker (each hold too many projects under their belts to list) and Menno Verbaten, the completely insane bassist from Lightning Swords of Death who can play Van Halen’s “Eruption” on a four-string. On their debut EP, Nightmare Future, the band sound a whole lot like Motorhead writing a grindcore LP. The bass is thick, the riffs come first, and each brief piece of the record seems catchy as well as mosh-inducing.

Stream album closer “Comatose” below. Most bands would take the end of a record as a moment to slow down and offer something different. Not Expulsion. Like every song before it, the tune aims for pure a pure high. Speed hits nostril. Nerves hit overload. Volume hits maximum. As it should be.

Nightmare Future is out on July 14 via Relapse. Order it here. Follow Expulsion on Facebook.
