Leeched To Dull The Blades Of Your Abuse

Orange with Black & Grey Splatter. Limited Edition of 250 units.LEECHED return with their second album, To Dull The Blades Of Your Abuse. If you thoughttheir debut was everything abrasive and cathartic about modern extreme metal, thenprepare yourself - they've taken things up a notch or ten. On their sophomore album,LEECHED prepare to broach uncomfortable topics in a way that is as unflinching as it isemotive.LEECHED have honed their craft, embraced a far denser production ethos and have edgedmuch closer to the sound they envisaged when they first formed as a band. The industrialovertones of their debut remain; cold, desolate, inhospitable. The trio have created aseemingly impenetrable exterior of expansive bleakness. Yet underneath the surface thereis a white-hot mass of barely controlled aggression, writhing under the scrutiny of theircollective creativity.Throughout the album, the lyrics are shot through with anatomical references, lendingthemselves to creating an ever-more visceral listening experience. Invoking the bleakness ofa dystopian landscape, the album confronts topics we are predisposed to shying away from.Dissecting the intimate layers of abuse, and the emotional hinterland where the linesbetween cause and effect become blurred. Combining extremely personal experiences witha broader commentary on society,as seen through an overtly stark lens, To Dull The BladesOf Your Abuse is uneasy listening; claustrophobic, furious and all-consuming.
