BEATEN TO DEATH – DØDSFEST
Norwegian grindcore innovators, BEATEN TO DEATH, have set October 4th as the release date for their long-anticipated second album “Dødsfest!â€, coming out via Mas-Kina Recordings.
Entitled “Dødsfest!â€, the 12-track follow up to the band’s critically-acclaimed 2011 debut, “Xes & Strokesâ€, was recorded in total of six days at their rehearsal room and continues to carry Beaten to Death’s incredibly irreverent edge, boasting a twisted blend of quirky, but captivating melodies with some abrasive and cranium-smashing brutality. Again, there’s no editing, no quantizing, no triggering, no overdubs, no repitching, no retuning, no nothing. It’s all genuinely and 100% recorded live.
Here’s what drummer Christian „Bartender“ Svendsen had to say about the recording process of the new album, „I think we gain more than we lose when we record live. It’s far from perfect but it sounds ten times more authentic than your typical metal record“.
Vocalist Anders Bakke complements, „The guitars sound like a shotgun marriage between The Troggs and Big Black, and oddly enough it blends perfectly with the brutality of the rhythm section, like warm poo with hard snow“.

„…In song after song, Beaten To Death punch holes through grindcore’s low ceiling, let some air in and balance their earthly savagery with guitar jangle aimed straight towards the heavens. It’s a panoramic new vision for grindcore, Norwegian or otherwise“
Decibel Magazine
„The band blithely blend grind, death, hardcore punk, and post-whatever melodies with apeshit glee“
Metal Injection
„….BEATEN TO DEATH from Norway bring lots of innovative and fresh ideas to a genre where almost everything has been said already 20 years ago…. it’s almost genre redefining.“
Cvlt Nation
„Most grind bands can capture this tension live (..) but it’s much harder to do so in the studio. Norway’s Beaten to Death can do it..“
