Following their long-awaited return with cracker single Forever Eating Shit, Melbourne cult favourites Grim Rhythm double down with Guns, a sharper, heavier second cut from their upcoming album. The band have also announced a hometown album launch at The Tote, of course.
Guns was one of the first songs written for the new record Forever Eating Sh*t, out March 11 on their own label, Suspect Records.
“It really sets the tone for the whole album,” explains Matt Verinder (bass). “We started to steer away from the 70s rock-inspired riffs and lengthy jams on our previous record, and went straight ahead into proper heavy metal. Drawing heavily from classic early thrash and heavy metal records, we really wanted to dig into that fast and evil sound but with that rock and roll swing still intact.”
“Instead of eight-minute songs of repetitive riffs and solos expected of instrumental bands,” he continues. “We sought out to write fast, aggressive and straight-to-the-point heavy metal songs. Songs that punch you right in the face, melt it off, and before you know it they’re over and it’s onto the next one.”
To celebrate the release of ‘Forever Eating Shit’, the band will take over The Tote on April 4 with Reaper and Techno 666 for the album launch. There will be plenty of opportunities to catch them between now and April, but The Tote is the real party. New album, no brakes.
