Today, Armageddon Label announces March 20th as the international release date for Escuela Grind's highly anticipated debut album, Indoctrination. The album will be released on vinyl LP and digital across all platforms, in co-operation with To Live A Lie (USA) and RSR (Europe).
Through punishingly short and dynamic songs, Escuela Grind delivers politically charged lyrics inspired by modern anxieties, unrest, and the roots of hardcore punk, grindcore, and powerviolence. While members Katerina Economou, Jesse Fuentes (Kill the Client, Creator|Destroyer), Jason Balthazar Eldridge (Hearse), and Kris Morash (Your Brain on Drugs) span from different parts of the United States, the band has been based in upstate New York and western Massachusetts since its first shows in 2016.

"Following the forward-thinking path of bands like Terrorizer, these Ithaca, New York-based grinders offer variance to the tired blast-blast-blast trope, mixing in elements of death metal, doom, noise, and more into their nitro cocktail. Featuring former members of Kill the Client, Monolith, and more, Escuela are fronted by Katerina Economou, whose ferocious vocals provide an excellent guide into the group's depravity, one littered with hidden hooks, incredible riffs and brutality layered on brutality..." - Revolver "5 Artists You Need to Know: October 2018" by Fred Pessaro
