First off, happy new year to everyone!!!
Over the last two months we've been hard at work on our second full length album. We have 8 songs completed so far. Here's a little description on each one and what you can expect when the album is released later this year.
(These are all working titles as well. You'd have to be there to understand...)
"Nergal"
This is the first song we wrote for the album and it is definitely in the style of the first album, Insurrection. Tons of blasts and groove in this one. Reminds me of a steroid infused Chaos AD mixed with old school Morbid Angel.
"Zomie"
Another song that would not be out of place on Insurrection. More groove in this song then maybe any other song we've written up to this point.
"Cockguy"
At 1:04 in length, this song is a punch in the face. Old school grind ala Terrorizer.
"Medice Hat"
Without a doubt the fastest, most technical song we've written. An absolute fuckin' ripper!!!
"Smashing Pissers"
Another real fast grind song with gross dissonance sprinkled throughout.
"Lemmy"
This one is going to surprise some people. Think Motörhead covering a Kataplexis song.
"Judas Pricks"
Ultra fast death / grind!! Another song that has tons of dissonance and blast beats.
"McGuillicuddy"
This song has a bit of everything and is definitely the biggest experiment of the album. This song has hardcore, grind, black metal, death and shoegaze. Over 12 minutes in length...

First review of the split!!
Kataplexis/Breathe Knives – Split
No List Records
Kataplexis and Breathe Knives work like a tongue that has been split in two – both sides now black, green and very infected and stuck right into your soft pink ear with songs from one another ripping through your wax and tickling your brain. With this ten song release, the bands seem like a match made in heaven's cesspool. It's somewhat uncommon to see many split releases these days, with the recent Toxic Holocaust/Inepsy release being a reminder that it is still a product of interest for fans. Breathe Knives had the challenge here: as a band with programmed drums, the limb flaying chaos of Kataplaxis' rhythmic section is tough to duplicate. They do it well on “False Flag”, which has been given the pressure chamber treatment, adding avenues of depraved swagger to the Kataplexis track. “Steel Cheek vs Ice Cream Teeth” begins with a sample from Factotum about one of Bukowski's lays, "Jan was an excellent fuck...she had a tight pussy and she took it like it was a knife that was killing her.” - if not breathing them, why not? This, and the few other Breathe Knives tracks are music to crash your car by. Starting off innocently enough with a bouncing beat or telephone loop, they become ragged quick, as if the smooth part of the roller coaster has the track cut off. On to Kataplexis - “Fuckin Hostie”, “Rippin' Taco's”, “Cocksmoke”, and “Shitguy”are death/grind crunch that add moments of Andreas Kisser esque riffage into the fray – moving along at a break neck pace and never once slowing down to catch a breath. Although short, these songs have moments of ambiance and melody within the chaos. The Breathe Knives cover,“Rebreather” is particularly moody, with sampled chanting under the wasteland of dead rat floater infested sludge. The track brings to mind the Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Isis cover of “Boris” by the Melvins, and is the shining spot on the split. Both bands are notorious already and this adds to the growing legacy of both. Get it while you can.

Slammin' In The Salmon Metal Fest / Split news
We are happy to announce our participation in the first Slammin' In The Salmon Metal Fest in Prince George, BC! This line up is pretty stacked with some of western Canada's finest including Death Toll Rising, Blood Drunk and Galgamex to name a few. Ticket information is available over at the Facebook event page which can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=167480379971642
We are going to hopefully have our split 10" album for sale by this time to. As far as some info on the split we just finished recording our Breathe Knives cover yesterday. This song is going to be very different then anything we've done so were pretty anxious to see what people think. All I will say for now is that it is maybe the heaviest thing we've ever recorded.
There is going to be lot's of Show and Releases news in the next couple of months so keep your eye on the blog.

As far as the tour itself we are very stoked to be sharing the stage with Galgamex who are nothing

As for our tour setlist we are going to be playing lot's of new songs from our forthcoming 10" split
with local bros, Breathe Knives. We also are gonna bust out some stuff that will appear on a future ep and our second full length that nobodies heard but us. We also are thinking about throwing in a new cover if
everything works out. Plus of course, select songs from "Insurrection".
We will be posting more info about the split, including artwork and release date in the next couple weeks.
