Stream BANGLADEAFY's "Lifeforms" HERE .
New York City hyper-avant metal duo BANGLADEAFY presents the new single "Lifeforms," as the release of their new Housefly full-length grows ever closer through Nefarious Industries. Decibel Magazine is hosting the exclusive advance stream of the new track.
Marking a development in the band's philosophy and approach to songwriting, particularly in the vocal department, Housefly embraces more personal lyricism and an uncharacteristically up-front vocal presence. In 2020, BANGLADEAFY have freed themselves of all expectation and restraint - now, anything goes. With the d rums recorded and mixed by Mike Gatto of Gatto Records, Housefly was e ngineered, mixed, and mastered by Jonathan Vergara of Pancake Studios, and completed with artwork by Bryan Elkins.
With the "Lifeforms" premiere, BANGLADEAFY 's Jon Ehlers reveals, " Musically, this song was an experiment in chromatic movements. I was trying to compose a Shepard tone type thing but ended up with something different. Lyrically, this song addresses the notion about our existence being a phenomenon in our immediate universe. Yet, we're dismantling our own natural existence despite being provided the tools to be fantastic life forms. We have more control over our fate than we give ourselves credit for, but we continue on this path of self-destruction. Let it motivate or discourage you."
Decibel writes, "Check out 'Lifeforms,' a new track from Housefly that filters the band's ear for riffy, off-the-wall compositions through Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and Devo. It has both a cinematic and tribal feeling..."

The limitless and ever-evolving duo BANGLADEAFY - drummer Atif Haq and bassist/pianist/vocalist Jon Ehlers - comes slamming back with a new beast. Housefly brings you thirteen anxiety-ridden compositions performed live on hardware synths, sample pads, and acoustic drums, and entirely abandons the electric bass acrobatics the tag team has become known for. Inspired by the human manipulation of electronic sounds, Housefly sees BANGLADEAFY revisiting influences of their youth such as Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and Devo.
Watch for several official videos and more on BANGLADEAFY 's Housefly to be issued over the weeks ahead.
