The masked enigma that is Swollen Teeth first arrived on the scene in 2021, instantly going from unknown entity to one of heavy music's most intriguing new forces. Along with the co-sign and backing of Blowed Out Records, the joint venture between Slipknot's Sid Wilson and legendary producer Ross Robinson, Swollen Teeth's combination of spirituality and volatility made for a compelling listen.
The band's self-titled EP corralled a caustic meld of furious percussion, relentless riffs, dramatic breakdowns, menacing vocals and bold, contrasting melody in a way that skewed chaotic, if not for the control exhibited in its execution. Tracks like "EMPTY," "LETHAL" and "CAR CRASH" quickly became cult favorites and the kind of entries on the soundtrack of IYKYK.
Combined with the band's elusiveness and mystique, it was evident that heavy music had a formidable new figure.
Some four years after the arrival of Swollen Teeth, the unit have now confirmed their full length studio debut, setting a September 5th release date for Ask Nothing. The album is again featured via Blowed Out Records only this time, both namesakes have pooled their talents to contribute with both Ross Robinson and Sid Wilson serving as co-producers on the release.
To better illuminate the intensity ahead, Swollen Teeth have shared the latest offering from the project with the drop of the belligerent single, "Unite". In line with the continued M.O. of the band, they played their cards close to the chest, offering little explanation, only a course of action with regards to the new track and the Swollen Teeth experience. "We’re not here to give answers or know the truth. Joining together is the path to clarity."
The arrival of "Unite" is the latest in a slow-trickle succession that began last year. Thus far, "Medicine", "Family" and "Money & Greed" have surfaced as entries featured on the album. Showcasing everything from aggressive guitars to quickfire turntablism, the songs further reiterate Swollen Teeth's varied mode of attack that channels chaos into something powerfully-pointed and laser-focused.
En route to the September arrival of Ask Nothing, Swollen Teeth will participate in two of the year's most anticipated festivals, FEQ Festival in Quebec on July 7th and Inkcarceration 2025 in Mansfield, OH on July 19th.
