PRIMITIVE MAN: Autumn Live Assaults Announced

Denver's favorite blackened doom derelicts, PRIMITIVE MAN, will wage war upon the ears of the innocent this autumn with a short run of live assaults. Set to begin October 13th in Kansas City, the band will spread their negativity eastward through nine cities including an appearance at Invisible Oranges' CMJ showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar.

Comments the band: "We can't wait for this tour! We are playing with some amazing bands and hanging out with some old friends this time around. See you in the cut."

Featuring current and former members of Withered, Clinging To The Trees of A Forest Fire, Death of Self and Reproacher, PRIMITIVE MAN will be touring in support of their critically adored Scorn full-length. A physically and psychologically eviscerating sound excursion, Scorn was recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Cobalt, etc.) and boasts seven hymns of hate, anguish and rampant planetary discontent. The record was initially unleashed earlier this year via a collaboration between Throatruiner and Mordgrimm Records before being reissued by Relapse late last month and continues to reap media hails both nationally and abroad for a "totally malignant sounding record ... that will consume you whole if you're not careful" (Cvlt Nation).

Scorn is currently available via Relapse Records on CD, LP and digitally. Order your copy HERE.

PRIMITIVE MAN: Blackened Doom-Sludge Misanthropes Sign to Relapse Records US Tour Announced

Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of Denver, Colorado blackened doom-sludge misanthropes PRIMITIVE MAN! Formed in early 2012 and featuring current and former members of Withered, Clinging To The Trees of A Forest Fire, Death of Self and Reproacher, Primitive Man – drummer Isidro "Spy" Soto , vocalist/guitarist Ethan Lee McCarthy, and bassist Jonathan Campos -- released their malicious Scorn debut earlier this year via a collaboration between Throatruiner and Mordgrimm Records. The band also self-released a three-song EP in February titled P/M. 

Dubbed a " totally malignant sounding record and one that will consume you whole if you’re not careful,” by Cvlt Nation, commended for merging “the oppressive weight of doom with the misanthropic bile of black metal” by Blabbermouth and called, “the best worst thing that has ever happened to you,”  in an 8/10 review from Metal Hammer, Scorn finds PRIMITIVE MAN celebrating a slow-roasted apocalypse through seven suffocating hymns of hatred, disease and sonic deviance.

Comments the band on the signing:  “We are excited to have the support of a label as legendary as Relapse. We cannot wait to spread our music further than we had thought possible. All hail extreme music. All hail pain."   

Relapse will reissue Scorn this summer on CD/LP/Digital and a track from the album is available for streaming via their official Bandcamp page. Additionally, the band has announced a six week US tour set to kick off July 11th in Pueblo, Colorado and run through August 21st in Salt Lake City, Utah.  A complete listing of dates is included below.

PRIMITIVE MAN: Denver Misanthropes Unveil New Video Scorn Continues To Traumatize The Masses

Denver blackened doom misanthropes PRIMITIVE MAN recently unleashed a video clip for “Rags,” from their bludgeoning Scorn debut. Recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Cobalt etc), Scorn findsPRIMITIVE MAN commemorating a slow-roasted apocalypse through seven asphyxiating hymns of hatred, disease, despair and hurt feelings.

View the filth-laden, seizure-inducing visual escapade -- currently hosted by Cvlt Nation -- at THIS LOCATION.

PRIMITIVE MAN features within their ranks current and formers members of Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire, Reproacher and Death Of Self. In a 4.5/5 review About.com writes: “Scorn drips with depravity and disgust throughout. Their strings-falling-off-the-guitar down tuned filth could cause earthquakes or crumble mountains. When in high(er) gear, the punishing riffs pound with the power of a ten ton battering ram, knocking the wind from your lungs. Scorn is no doubt one of the most brutal, unsettling and uncompromising albums you will hear all year.” American Aftermath calls Scorn “one of the heaviest debuts by any band I have ever heard in all of my days,” noting that the offering, “isn’t your run of the mill bong-ripping doom metal that has been done a million times. This is the actual feeling of ‘doom’ in audio form. Scorn will instill feelings of dread and fear in you and you will love every freaking minute of it.” Cvlt Nation champions band’s “devastatingly crushing and austere slab of blackened, sludgy doom,” while Metal Insider boasts, “PRIMITIVE MAN deliver the kind of doom metal reminiscent of a vast, apocalyptic wasteland where the only inhabitants left are too busy committing acts of lethal brutality against one another to care about things as trivial as beauty or art. This band has created the musical equivalent of survival for survival’s sake. There is nothing pretty here. There are no moments of peacefulness or lucidity.”

Scorn is currently available on 12” vinyl via Throatruiner/Mordgrimm Records. The record is streaming is all its glorious filth at THIS LOCATION.
