It’s like Three Kings but without Ice Cube, George Clooney…actually, it’s nothing like Three Kings.

If your parodistic/ironic/satirical brutal metal band is rapidly approaching your 10 year anniversary, are you still parodistic/ironic/satirical or have you lapsed into sincerity? English/American deathcore band Infant Annihilator are now on their third album, still slinging their brand of hurgles and gurgles with a self-aware wink to the extreme metal scene.

It’s nice they could find another use for some leftover pimp costumes from last Halloween.

 

All the…small things…

 

Infant Annihilator’s album The Battle of Yaldabaoth will be released on September 11th.
