THE BEAST

Amassed in a duo of spur-of-the-moment sessions in Minneapolis and Australia in early 2013, the unplanned recordings that became ENABLER’s Flies EP follows a barrage of recordings from the Brew City crossover killers, including their Southern Lord-released All Hail The Void LP and subsequent Shift Of Redemption EP via Think Fast! Records. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (From Ashes Rise, Integrity, Tragedy, All Pigs Must Die), on Flies, the patented ENABLER alloy of crust, punk and hardcore, relentlessly gloomy melodies and perpetually cynical “fuck off” vibes all surge heavily, the band using the EP as an opportunity to deploy five new tracks and a cover of Sepultura’s classic “Arise.” On Samhain 2013, Earsplit’s new division, The Compound, will drop a digipak version of Flies, the first in an upcoming line of releases from killer underground acts who prefer to skulk in the shadows rather than bathe in the spotlight.
