Die Choking Announces New Tour
Pummeling Philadelphia grindcore trio Die Choking has confirmed an August U.S. tour with Mister Lizard and Bathe, releasing the dates alongside new visual evidence of the band's live shock-and-awe tactics.

Die Chokig recently played a one-off show in Brooklyn, New York as part of Bozzfest, acting as a benefit for Decibel Magazine writer David Shawn Bosler, who was badly hurt in a car accident over the holidays. The band's entire set -- which included guest vocals by Deb Cohen on the track "Civilian" - is now playing below. More...
All Out War Headlining Bozzfest Charity Show
Veteran New York metal / hardcore outfit All Out War is set to headline Bozzfest, a special one-off show in Brooklyn tomorrow - Friday, March 24th - as a benefit for longtime Decibel contributor David Shawn Bosler.
Over the Christmas holiday, Bosler, also of black metal act Kosmodemonic, was in a serious car accident that left him with a horrific list of broken bones and injuries, requiring multiple surgeries and putting him on a long road to full rehabilitation.
The writer's friends and cohorts now unite for Bozzfest, to help with his rehabilitative medical bills. On March 24th, 2017, Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn is hosting a benefit show, with 100 percent of the money raised going to Bosler's recovery fund.
The bill is topped by a rare live appearance from savage metalcore stalwarts All Out War, joined by local black metal philosophers Anicon, brutal Philly grinders Die Choking, and the hypnotic soundscapes of Insect Ark. There will also be some one-of-a-kind items up for raffle to help Bosler and his family. Grab your tickets here or if you can't make it, contribute to the GoFundMe campaign instead. More...

Die Choking Posts "Dead Figurehead" Video
Philadelphia's unhinged grind squad Die Choking just issued the first official video from unstoppable "III" LP. Check out "Dead Figurehead" below, directed by Mitchell Luna (Maruta, Noisear) and Josh Mahesh (Heikousen, Fraud).
Die Choking issues, "'Dead Figurehead' is a fuck-off to intolerance and pushes against the rising neo-fascism we are seeing in the US right now. There is a transparency and widespread popular criticism of American politics that we haven't really seen since the 1960's.
"The current candidacy has been an eye-opening mirror for Americans. In the end, it seems elected politicians are frequently not the leaders we want or need. Unfortunately, they may be the leaders we deserve." More...

Berserker III Band Lineup Announced
This March, the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan will play host to the annual Berserker Music Fest.
Now in its third year, the event - a truly DIY affair founded and organized by Child Bite frontman Shawn Knight and wife Veronica - Berskerer III boasts its most devouring lineups to date with the all-ages three-night/three-stage gala.
Appearances will be made by internationally touring acts like Voivod, Ghoul, Conan, Macabre, Cannabis Corpse and Black Tusk as well as a spattering of new and established Michigan-based artists like Acid Witch, Child Bite, Perversion and Shit Life.
Comments Knight, "It's a fucking blast putting this thing together. Veronica and I pick all of the bands and organize the entire weekend. I handle all of the art and a lot of the promotion side too. It's a metric shit ton of work and it's really stressful, but in the end it's all worth it. We're basically just making something that we wish was already had; a bit of the ol' 'if you build it, they will come.' I spent a lot of time at various metal fests last year, either playing them with Child Bite or simply attending them. It's great to see what works, what doesn't, and just in general let it affect how we plan our next event. This is our biggest lineup yet, and our biggest venue, so I can't wait to see how it all turns out!"
Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon, VGKids, ESP Printing, UHF Records, CJAM 99.1 FM and Woodward Avenue Brewers, Berserker III will take place on March 3rd, 4th, and 5th with a special FREE PreSerker kickoff party slated to take place at Small's (Hamtramck) on Wednesday, March 2nd featuring eight bands on two stages.

Die Choking Posts New Song "Death's Waveform"
Philadelphia's unchained grind trio Die Choking will release a third recording and very first full-length titled "III" this October through The Compound Recs.
Today the first single from the record has come online - check out "Death's Waveform" below. Issues founding bassist/vocalist Paul Herzog on the upcoming album:
"Die Choking's forthcoming album 'III' is a dastardly Americanized reinterpretation of Plato's allegory of the cave. It is a dense work and presents a politicized metaphysical cycle: origin, liberation, corruption, falter, violent degradation, decay, and rebirth. 'III' is a brutal reference to both ancient and modern interpretations of existence, morality, and politics.
"This album is a short, simple and a delightfully entropic vision. It presents a nihilistic emergence from ignorance that is met not by a joyous embrace of eternal knowledge but is heralded by a vision of an eternal, ever-stretching graveyard. It is here that coffin after coffin and grave upon grave stretches into the forever." More...
