IMMORTAL BIRD will be touring in support of their Thrive On Neglect full-length, released in July through 20 Buck Spin. With a multi-layered sound running the gamut from pummeling grind and death metal to dissonant blackened metal, angular noise, and complex hardcore, IMMORTAL BIRD defies simple categorization. The band's compositions fuse into strikingly savage songs, vast in their scope and more than the sum of their disparate parts, merging the progressive and destructive into a maelstrom of raging fire. Rae Amitay's seething vocal exorcisms and targeted lyrical aggression provide the connective tissue holding the stylized violence together. Featuring the punishingly heavy production work of Dave Otero (Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Khemmis), ideally suited for IMMORTAL BIRD's tumultuous arrangements and orchestrated chaos, Thrive On Neglect takes the perilous road of musical diversity and commands it with a bloodthirsty rage.
IMMORTAL BIRD's Thrive On Neglect is out now on CD, LP, and digital formats. For physical orders, go to

"Thrive On Neglect is a take-no-prisoners-and-add-no- filler kind of record; each song is loaded with a sense of urgency and notes don't feel wasted or unnecessary. Vocalist Rae Amitay is on fire on Thrive On Neglect, delivering each line with a throat-shredding tone that matches her bandmates' furious playing. There's something for everyone here: blackened, blasting insanity, crushing down-tuned parts and even a few opportunities for quiet introspection." - Decibel
"There is an undeniable element of danger that the band is able to capture, almost as if they themselves don't know what's coming next, whether it be a violent tempo change, a burst of dissonance or a hardcore-infused transition into a blackened dirge." - Metal Injection
"A band making beautiful music for a broken sort of person." - Kerrang's 50 Best American Metal Bands From The Last Decade
"A tour-de-force demonstration of the feral rage of which the group is readily capable, the track explodes into violent action with a dissonant blackened staccato riff and thundering blast beats before vocalist Rae Amitay's derelict vocals descend upon the grime and chaos of the group's sonic misanthropy." - Invisible Oranges on "Avolition"
"This is, absolutely, music that intends to overwhelm. To hear a band like IMMORTAL BIRD live is to be able to lose oneself in the bursts of energy and anarchy that they wield so capably." - Treble Album Of The Week
"Here is a record without any downsides, and with a lot of ferocious-and moving-upside. Uncompromising and niche-less, Thrive On Neglect should place Immortal Bird on best-of lists come year's end, and secure for them a place at the table of the heaviest hitters in modern metal. But most of all, it should be in your library and your rotation." - Last Rites
"...it might be one of the finest extreme releases of the decade. There is nary a wasted riff, cymbal choke, or unfathomably deep growl through its course and IMMORTAL BIRD dance so goddamn gracefully between ludicrously heavy grind and morose, progressive death metal of the highest order." - Heavy Blog Is Heavy
