Description Southwest death-thrash wrecking crew EMACIATED, featuring members of No Cure, Stolen Gun, and Dysmorphia, return with, ‘Praise Be, The Iron Apostle’, a 20-minute explosion of breakneck crossover fury out now on CD and digital via Iron Fortress Records. Drummer/vocalist Duncan Newey leads the charge, unleashing an all-out drum assault while firing off venomous, sandblasted vocal bursts that collide with barked, rapid-fire gang vocals. Guitarists Wavy Ramirez and Ian Straface wield a relentless cyclone of crossover riffing, their dive-bombs shrieking like low-flying warplanes, while bassist Joshua Peltoma grounds the chaos with a thick, bulldozing low end. A rabid fusion of extreme-metal ferocity and hardcore fury, ‘Praise Be, The Iron Apostle’, channels the intensity of Power Trip fused with the razor-edged thrash assault of Testament. EMACIATED weaponize blistering speed, whiplash riffing, and neck-breaking grooves to create a nonstop pit apocalypse.
