With a little more than a month to go before the release of Denigration, tech death practitioners Ingested have issued another punishing preview of their pending full length. Following the maniacal introduction in "Merciless Reflection" featuring Damonteal Harris of PeelingFlesh, Ingested have scored a special guest spot from John Gallagher of the legendary Dying Fetus for the obliterating, "Watch You Fold."
Combining precision chops with unrelenting brutality, the second single from the pending release reiterates Ingested's continued ascent from champions of slam among the underground to one of extreme music's most formative, progressive forces.
The band shared of the new single, "‘Watch You Fold’ is a character assassination in slow motion. Lyrically, it’s aimed at the kind of smug, greedy parasite who hides behind legacy and respectability while everyone around them suffocates. It’s about institutions and individuals who turned a once-respected space into a ‘fifty-year mockery,’ treating people like expendable fuel while they count the cash. The song is us standing in that claustrophobic room, calling out the lies, and promising that if you come for us, you’re actually coming for every single person we stand with."
The band further detailed the intensity of the sound and it's reference to previous eras of musical extremity. "The music is a deliberate nod to that mid-2000s Unique Leader school of blasting brutal death metal, fused with Sean’s melodic, brooding sense of atmosphere. It’s technical without showboating, relentless without losing groove, and built around riffs that feel like concrete. Having John Gallagher from Dying Fetus on the track was about closing a circle, his gutturals are instantly recognizable and tie the whole thing back to the era that shaped our sense of heaviness. This is the sound of a once-revered statue being dragged off its plinth and smashed to dust.”
Along with the arrival of Denigration, Ingested is set to tour the U.S. on the Chaos & Carnage Tour along with Thy Art Is Murder, Bodysnatcher, Carnifex, 200 Stab Wounds, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox. A complete list of dates and cities can be found below. Tickets can be purchased - HERE
