BLOODIEST - "Descent" Hits Stores March 29th

Running seven members deep, and reading like a who’s who of the Chicago music scene (ex and current members of YAKUZA, 90 DAY MEN, FOLLOWS, ATOMBOMBPOCKENTKNIFE), BLOODIEST craft epic tracks that flow gracefully and methodically from crushing walls of sound to moments of fragility. Influenced both by the sounds of 90s Chicago underground rock scene as well as heavy music titans like Neurosis and Swans, BLOODIEST’s debut album Descent sounds vast, symphonic and ultimately heavy.
