Metal Injection comments that ‘The Dismal Advance‘ is “going to completely kick your ass into next year.”
On the first single, “Oblivion Seeker,” guitarist Nick Emde says:
“This video was shot DIY style with a shoestring budget. The only location we could lock down for the shoot was in Texas during the hottest month of year, and it was inside a metal building with no air conditioning. It legit felt like 150 degrees in there, plus we had to shut the big metal door when recording which you could probably sear a steak on! I guess that would have been a pretty metal thing to do”

Mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Tomb Mold), ‘The Dismal Advance’ is a 21 minute high-BPM, trauma feedback loop of non-stop shredding, blastbeat precision, and feral sonic volatility that sharply executes a superb balance of riffs, groove and masterful instrumentation. Replete with nihilistic lyrics and post-apocalyptic imagery, ‘The Dismal Advance’ is a stark reminder that hell can be a place on earth… and some of us live in it.
About the album, vocalist Mitchell Luna had this to say:
“Writing this album was an absolute challenge, as we are all spread out throughout different parts of the country, but I am beyond happy with the end result! It’s a mix of death metal, grind, and hardcore, and a vast improvement from the EP we put out in 2022.
“We went the DIY route and recorded the album ourselves with the help of some good friends, and then handed it off to Arthur Rizk so he can work his magic in the mixing/mastering department.
“It’s 21 minutes. No fucking filler. Bleak and painful, yet grounded in reality.
“Thanks to anyone that listens! Blastbeats forever!”SHOCK WITHDRAWAL recently played their first live show with GridLink at Saint Vitus! Stay tuned for more live announcements in the near future.
