Die Choking Announces Album, Tour Dates
Philadelphia's hypergrind violators from Die Choking will release their debut full-length LP, "III," through The Compound Recs late this summer as the band begins a rigorous tour schedule in the coming weeks.
"III" was recorded in April with Will Yip at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania (Lauryn Hill, Circa Survive, Blacklisted) capturing Die Chokin's most intense material yet. The band then sanctioned Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Integrity, From Ashes Rise, Nails) for its mastering.
Die Choking will partner with The Compound for the release of "III" this September on all digital platforms as well as three color variations of 180-gram colored LP with exclusive colors and merch bundle packages. The cover artwork, confirmed street date and more will be issued in the coming days, followed by new official videos, audio samples and more. See the band live: More...

Die Choking Finishes Work On New Album
Philadelphia's frenzied Die Choking trio has completed the arduous recording sessions for a debut LP, which will see release later this year. The following press release was issued about the coming album:
"Packing an incomprehensibly manic dose of their most uncompromising material yet, Die CDhoking recorded their maiden full-length at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania with Will Yip (Lauryn Hill, Circa Survive, Blacklisted, Cop Problem).
"Following in the tradition of the band's prior two 7" EPs -- the self-titled debut and follow-up, 'II,' both released through The Compound Recs in 2014 -- the first full-length recording from Die Choking will pick up where 'II' left off with eleven new tracks, bringing forth movements eleven through twenty-two.
"With even faster BPM-rates and more complicated arrangements employed in the design work of the songs, and more elements of hardcore punk and crust merging with the band's blinding speed/grind metal, the impending LP from Philly's most unhinged act promises to be one of the most violent, high-speed releases of 2015. Additional details on 'III' will be announced in the weeks ahead."
A brief video teaser from the recording sessions of Die Choking's "III" has been leaked and can be seen below. More...

Die Choking Releases "Tonsil" Video
Through a Metal Injection premiere, Philadelphia's Die Choking just released its first official video created for "Tonsil," the closing track on the trio's newest EP, "II."
"Tonsil" is a brutal testimonial for human rights, standing up for an individual's option to die when in a critical or vegetative state, rather than be kept alive in an unsatisfactory manner by family members. In direct action coinciding with this very personal stance on the matter, the band manufactured a physical document which serves as a legal will to officiate one's final wishes.
"This song is a dedication to the memory of Jahi McMath who died on December 12th 2013," issues founding bassist/vocalist Paul Herzog (ex-Total Fucking Destruction). "Despite the absolute, irreversible nature of brain death she (as far as I know) remains on 'life' support. The controversy of this is obvious but my interest is geared more towards the broader subject of CHOICE in regards to medical treatment during end of life scenarios... I love fantasy, horror, and sci-fi just like the next guy.
"For Die Choking, as an outlet for me, I don't want to create fiction or fantasy... I want to help and advocate. The subject in 'Tonsil' is universal and transcends politics, it is about the reality and potential severity of the death and dying process. This process, although, can be grounded in peace and serenity. It is often centered on resistance, aggression and a frequently indecisive routine of extensive medical and surgical processes. If I can help someone handle and make the important decisions that need to be made then I can feel like I am doing some good in a very sick world." More...
Die Choking Streaming Full New EP
In just one week, Philadelphia's new tyrants of hyperthrash, Die Choking, will release second blazing 7", "II," and today the entire EP is now playing below, courtesy of Decibel Magazine.
With a former member of Total Fucking Destruction and current members of Cop Problem and Burden, Die Choking's hyperactive grind/thrash resounds with an even darker powerviolence edge than the previous self-titled EP, fueled with even more speed and vehemence.
"II" will see release on September 29th on both digital and virgin red vinyl 7" in a run of 300 copies, the vinyl version including a printed document which will serve as a legal, personal Living Will, to memorialize one's final wishes upon their time of death.
Die Choking will celebrate the release of "II" with a hometown record release show on October 17th with Pyrrhon, Artificial Brain and Fantasy Panther, and also kick off a week-long Die Choking and Fantasy Panther tour. Additional tour actions will be announced in the coming days.

Die Choking Streaming "Tonsil"
Now just two weeks from release is the second 7" from Philadelphia-based hyperthrash/grindcore trio Die Choking, simply entitled "II."
As the September 29th release date approaches, today Cvlt Nation has leaked a new track from the decimating EP. Check out "Tonsil" below.
With the vinyl version of the EP, the band is including a printed document which will serve as a legal, personal Living Will, to memorialize one's final wishes upon their time of death. Founding bassist/vocalist Paul J. Herzog coments:
"This song is a dedication to the memory of Jahi McMath who died on December 12th 2013. Despite the absolute, irreversible nature of brain death she (as far as I know) remains on 'life' support. The controversy of this is obvious but my interest is geared more towards the broader subject of CHOICE in regards to medical treatment during end of life scenarios. It is unfortunate, but families often contradict explicit wishes of dying loved ones. The severe and painful nature of pursuing a 'do everything you can' mentality is dire to say the least. This, to me, is pure tragedy. My goal is to open the dialogue a bit and introduce a tool to communicate the questions one needs to ask should they or a loved one be in a life threatening or life ending circumstance. Most people WILL end up THERE and not simply die in their sleep nor arrive to a facility DOA."

Die Choking Streams "Non-Yielder"
As Philadelphia's hypershred-grinders in Die Choking prep their second 7" for public infiltration this September 29th, today Noisey.Vice.com breaks off the first chunk off of the EP and rams it into humanity's collective jugular.
Choke on "Non-Yielder" below. The track leads of the "II" EP and was created in retaliation to mankind's self-serving, egocentric ways, as an outcry to never give up against the suffocating amount of bullshit we're dealt each day.
The fifty-one second destroyer features guest vocals by Steve Jansson from Trench Rot/Unrest, and just like its lyrical intent, yields for absolutely nothing. You can also catch the band live on these dates:

Die Choking Reveals New EP
Pennsylvania's Die Choking is prepared to shove a second wave of hyperactive grind/thrash down the world's collective throat with the release of "II."
Following its initial digital-only release in April of this year, Die Choking unleashed a 7" vinyl version of the self-titled debut recording through The Compound. This new EP "II" follows in sequence from the previous release with a continued track listing. The following press release was issued about the EP:
"Once again bearing five explosive new songs in less than six minutes, tracks VI through X show Die Choking swarming with even more enraged and psychotic songwriting, and more of an ominous powerviolence approach, while stepping things up in the songwriting department and delivery on all levels. Most of the lyrics are a critique of society and self. The finger ultimately points back at itself.
"As with its predecessor, the new 7" was recorded and mixed at Mark It Zero Studios with Dan O'Hare (Brutal Truth) -- harnessing all music in one day and all vocals in another -- and mastered by Brad Boatright (Baptists, Code Orange Kids) at AudioSiege. While the first EP reigned in black and grayscale cover art and vinyl delivery, II bears equally bleak scenery in a black and red layout by Jeffrey V. Daniels, and a run of limited red colors will be manufactured. Enclosed in the 7" will be a ocument that will function as a real, personal living will, in the theme of the closing track, 'Tonsil.'"
The track listing is as follows:
VI. Non-Yielder
VII. People Like You
VIII. Spent Fuel Pool
IX. Civilian
X. Tonsil
