THETAN: Nashville Hardcore/Powerviolence Duo To Release Abysmal LP February 1st; Svbterranean Debuts “Singularity” + Preorders Posted

Nashville, Tennessee-based duo THETAN makes its crushing return following a four-year hiatus from releasing new material, with their second full-length, Abysmal, through Anti-Corporate Music on February 1st. The album’s first single, “Singularity,” sees its premiere through Svbterranean as preorders and the album’s details are divulged to the public.

THETAN spawned from the remnants of Nashville hardcore band Sanctions in 2011. Opting to forgo finding a new guitar player, and move forward as a two-piece, they recorded their first EP, Welcome To Whine Country, a mere three months after their first band practice. Since then, the outfit has released an LP titled Laughed At By The Gods, five split releases including splits with Bleed The Pigs, Bible Thumper, and others, as well as several singles, compilation tracks, and more.

Carrying on their legacy of creating point-blank, depressive, powerviolent hardcore, THETAN delivers Abysmal, deploying eighteen pulverizing songs of abusive hardcore in just as many minutes.Abysmal is an intense offering which sees the band simultaneously exploring new territory with more nuanced stylings, though never straying from the pulverizing delivery that they have adopted for the past years. fans of Nails, Weekend Nachos, Dead In The Dirt, Hatred Surge, Die Choking, and the like should investigate the blasting ways of Abysmal. The vinyl version of Abysmal is rounded out with animated vinyl etchings done at Black Matter Mastering, fully complimenting the sonic chaos.

Svbterranean is now streaming the succinct and devastating “Singularity,” declaring, “Abysmal is a raw, hyper-speed hardcore record that pumps out eighteen tracks of drum and bass violence in eighteen abrasive minutes. Fans of Charles Bronson, Spazz, Coke Bust, and the like, should take note. In anticipation of its release, we at Svbterranean bring you the debut single from the forthcoming record, ‘Singularity.’ This short burst of fury clocks in just shy of eighty seconds and features equal parts hardcore groove and noisy, grinding mayhem.”

The band offers of the song, “‘Singularity’ was the first song written for this album. It actually went through a coupleof complete lyrical revisions, though the subject matter has remained the same. It is about our complete reliance on technological integration. Technology drives every aspect of human existence, from agriculture to medicine to media and entertainment. As a species we would be lost without it. In time we may find ourselves in debt to the things we have created.”
