Polish death/grind trio UNBORN SUFFER has issued an official video from their fifth album, Nihilist, created for the record's neck-mangling second track, "Open Defiance." The follow-up to 2012's Unborn Suffer, and UNBORN SUFFER's overall fifth full album, Nihilist was recorded in late 2014 and early 2015 in local Post Abortum Studio while mixing and mastering duties were taken care of by Szymon Grodzki (Invent Sound). The record surges with seventeen tracks of relentless, ultra-brutal death metal soaked in grind elements. 

Wrap your face around UNBORN SUFFER's official "Open Defiance" below.

UNBORN SUFFER was formed in November 2001 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Two years later the band self-released their Procreated Suffering debut, their second album Is This What We've Created? then released in November 2006 by Russian label Souflesh Collector. After recording third album Desecrate / Retaliate / Obliterate in 2007 the band went on a five-month hiatus and through numerous lineup changes, the album then released in the second half of 2008 by Soulflesh Collector. In 2009 the band released the I Am Your Nemesis EP, and started touring intensively The fourth full album Unborn Suffer was released in 2012 by Japanese Ghastly Music, a sub-label of famous death metal Amputated Vein Records. After two years of promoting the album, including shows with Suffocation, the band released its first live album titled Live Suffering. At the end of 2015, the trio released their first "best-of" album, Revisited Suffering, and completed their impending fifth album, Nihilist, their first for Selfmadegod.

Today, in cooperation with Dying Victims Productions, we are thrilled to present the full stream of SPECTRE's brand-new EP, Lonesome Gambler.

SPECTRE is the sterling heavy metal vison of Will Spectre. Formed in 2017, the band made its recorded debut that summer with the two-song Silver Invaders / Stand Alone single on the cult Heavy Chains label, which Dying Victims released on 7" vinyl later that year. SPECTRE's primary influences are heavy metal and hard rock of the late '70s and early '80s, and they continued that streak with the Hard Attacks digital single in 2018. Four years would pass before the next SPECTRE recording, the two-song Drifter. On that record, Will Spectre was joined by his heavy friends Jake Glas (Outcast/Teuton) on vocals and David Harrington-George (The Wizar'd/Tarot) on bass. Expanding their purist palette, here did SPECTRE sprinkle spices from Will Spectre's other musical conjurings – namely, The Wizar'd, Tarot, Dracula, and Crypt Vapor.

Despite its brief length, Drifter was undoubtedly a pivotal recording for SPECTRE, and now the duo of Will Spectre and David Harrington-George return with arguably their best and bravest record yet, Lonesome Gambler. With the average length around five minutes per track, the four songs comprising Lonesome Gambler display an "epic compactness" which wholly suits the moodier material here. Taking the bathos and pathos of its predecessor further, SPECTRE conjure a mystical realm where private-press NWOBHM, dark AOR, and even early deathrock reside: the rocking is measured but not too hard, the melodies are melancholic but not totally depressing, and back on the mic, Spectre's vocals are somehow anthemic and sagely simultaneously. The vintage synths color these road/life/space-weary ruminations with tastefully dramatic effect, putting SPECTRE squarely on that precipice between 1979 and 1980, equally excited about and fearful of the future. It's a subtle refinement altogether, but one that proves there's plenty of magick still to be mined.

Lonesome Gambler will be released by Dying Victims Productions on July 28th, 2023 on CD, 12" vinyl and cassette tape formats.
