Primal Rite
Sensory Link To Pain
Formed from the ashes of the scenes best kept secret, SCALPED, PRIMAL RITE come blazing out of the dirty club stages of the California Bay Area with a sound that takes influence from the powerful, metallic hardcore of the 90s as well as that eras most punishing crossover, thrash and death metal bands. There is no shortage of speed with the fast riffs only interrupted by sharp solos and pounding breaks. This 7" is a precursor to an LP coming up on Revelation Records. The band already has two 7" EPs on well-respected DIY labels as well as a cassette on Pop Wig Records, which was founded by members of TRAPPED UNDER ICE, TURNSTILE and ANGEL DU$T. They will be touring alongside POWER TRIP (Southern Lord Records) upon the release of Sensory Link To Pain. Lyrically, PRIMAL RITE dont settle for typical hardcore stabbed-in-the-back cliches or meaningless metal morbidity, instead tackling important personal politics. Vocalist Lucy expounds on the subjects of mental illness, self-doubt, betrayal and perseverance with uncommon grace.
