Rotten Sound Reveals New Album "Abuse To Suffer"

The Finnish grindcore veterans from Rotten Sound have unveiled new details for the release of their upcoming full-length, "Abuse to Suffer."

The album, the band's first new record in five years, will be released by Season of Mist in North America on March 25th. A track titled "Lazy Asses" can also be heard below.

Regarding the new track, Rotten Sound vocalist Keijo Niinimaa comments: "Our first track starts with an intro by our friend Heikki Järvi, who also did the samples for 'Exit' in 2004. We did not ask for anything specific, but somehow the disturbing sounds he created are setting the exactly right mood for this song, which is one of the most aggressive tracks on our new album. Even by our standards, 'Lazy Asses' kicks in pretty explosively: fast guitars, blasting drums and an opening grunt, which was strongly influenced by the beginning of the 'Brain Corrosion' album by Dead Infection. It is Sami's song, who openly admits that the idea for this grunting stems from our Polish friends, and I recall that he used their scream on the original demo."

Niinimaa continues: "Everything about 'Lazy Asses' revolves around grind and that is the reason why we placed it at the start although there are other ingredients on this album. The title is pointing a finger at the ultimate waste of money and time: free-riders in the politics. I am sure everyone can easily name a few of them."

The new album's track listing is as follows:

1. Lazy Asses
2. Intellect
3. Fear of Shadows
4. Trashmonger
5. Crooked
6. Time for the Fix
7. Slave to the Rats
