Witheria Working On Material, Parts With Member

Finland's Witheria just issued the following announcement about working on new material and parting ways with Mikko "Lappis" Lappalainen:

"A lot of new material has been written for the next album. Seven songs are now mostly done, music wise. Epic stuff coming up! No exact dates for the recordings yet, but things are brewing nicely!

"We have parted ways with Lappis (aka Predator) due to his lack of motivation towards the band, as well as musical differences. He played guitar and formerly bass for the band during the last 9 years and also contributed writing some of the music for the last two albums. We wish him luck in his future endeavors!

"We have one gig coming up, so we have wasted no time in recruiting a guitar player to fill in! We are already working with a guy who knows his stuff, and we'll see how things evolve from here. Exciting times! More details will follow soon(ish) - stay mental!"

Sunday Old School: Cripple Bastards

When one thinks of grindcore, the likelihood is that the first thought will turn to the scene in the United Kingdom that produced the likes of Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror and Carcass, while the over the pond, some of the genre's best bands such as Brutal Truth and Terrorizer were formed. But grindcore wasn't exclusive to the UK and the US, there was plenty of demand for extreme music in mainland Europe too, and today, we look at one of the more well known names from this era, Italy's own, Cripple Bastards.

Cripple Bastards originally went by the name Grimcorpses and were formed by singer Giulio the Bastard and guitarist Alberto the Crippler, originally as a punk band with some metal influences, before forging a harder style by throwing grindcore into the mix and changing their name to the now familiar moniker, Cripple Bastards. With this new style, they were able to stand out among other bands and bring some attention back to the hardcore scene in Asti, which is around 34 miles east of Turin, and released a string of split EPs and seven inch singles, as well as the EPs, "Life's Built On Thoughts" and "Frammenti di Vita."
