Today, brutal D-beaters Negative Prayer stream the entirety of their highly anticipated debut album, Self // Wound, at the No Gleaming Light YouTube channel. Set for international release on March 1st via Chaos Records on CD format – the vinyl version will follow later in the year – hear Negative Prayer‘s Self // Wound in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Negative Prayer is an exorcism of systemic violence, violation, and dehumanizing social conditioning, ripping at the throat of a brutal system designed to traumatize, disempower, and exploit for profit and power. Bloody visions of internalized violence, rage, self-hate, and retribution pump through the heart of a man-made machine.
“Behead the prophet. Dethrone the corporate. Vomit lies. Eat your fucking face off.” Growled through fangs and bile spews the disgusted sentiment of a wounded animal going for the throat that is Negative Prayer. Negative Prayer is Kyle House on vokills, guitar, and bass and Charlie Koryn on drums: current and ex-members of Poison Idea, Acephalix, Decrepisy, Incantation, and Funebrarum, playing brutal D-beat/crust in the vein of Driller Killer and Wolfpack.
All songs were written by Kyle House, except “Bloodfeast” by Glenn Danzig. Self // Wound was recorded by Charlie Koryn at Toadhouse Recording during Winter 2020/21. The album was re-amped, re-mixed, and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer.
