Blunt Force Trauma |
|
|
Sunday, 31 May 2009 |
Fusing the precision of metal with the nihilism of punk, Blunt Force Trauma slammed into the Austin, Texas music scene in 1999, smashing the scene in the tradition of the brutal crossover pioneers such as Bad Brains, Slayer, D.R.I., and S.O.D. and assaulting audiences with their five-alarm blaze of fury, thunderous rhythm and lightning riffs.
In 2007, they teamed up with legendary former D.R.I. drummer Felix Griffin, and have since shared the stage with the likes of Municipal Waste, Prong, and Reagan Youth, to name a few. In 2008, BFT welcomed Alex "Rager" Loughborough on bass.
May, 2009 will see the release of BFT's third CD, Hatred For The State. Their label, Shattered World Records has this to say about the upcoming CD...
"BFT takes the gloves off on this follow-up to 2006's GOOD MORNING AMERICA...
The speed is increased, as are the crunchy, yet infectious riffs. The political slant is definitely there again AND the anger notch has been cranked up to 11!! If you like the carnage of Slayer and the socio-political commentary of Rage Against the Machine, pick up a copy of HATRED FOR THE STATE!" |
