Pittsburgh brutal deathgrind band Narakah is set to release "Blast Haven": a 9-track, 12 minute cyclone of hostility and chaos. For fans of bands like Wormrot, Discordance Axis, Cryptopsy, Defeated Sanity, and Anaal Nathrakh.
Formed in early 2019 by veterans of the Pittsburgh metal and hardcore scenes, Narakah features members from countless bands over the last 20 years including Slaves BC, First Day Dead, and Meth Quarry.
Narakah calls to the intensity of genres past with no-frills devastation that is fueled by anime, manga, movies/tv shows, and video games. Releasing "Dark Light District" in 2019, the "barbaric blasting cruelty" of the release garnered buzz through word of mouth, seeing the band quickly gain fans all across the world.
"This album is the next step up for Narakah. Its shorter, faster, heavier, more brutal & intense. No bullshit click tracks. No dumb long songs. Fucked up lyrics and themes, more vocal variation, more blasting, more groove, samples and noise, less time. Same formula, just on acid and uppers." --- Narakah
Narakah "Blast Haven" will be available on CD, Cassette, and digitally on February 12th, 2021.
