NEW BLOTTED SCIENCE ON THE WAY!
It’s been three years since Blotted Science released their one and only album, the erection-inducing The Machinations of Dementia, and one could be forgiven for fearing that we might never again hear from this actually-as-cool-as-it-sounds supergroup. But fear not, my fellow lovers of extreme music! Metal Injection tells me that Ron Jarzombek has revealed that the band is working on a new, four-song, twenty-two minute EP! And while a full-length would obviously be preferable, at this point I think I speak for all Blotted Science fans when I say, “We’ll take what we can get.”
But wait! There’s more! The group has a new drummer! Says Jarzombek:
“Yes, folks, please welcome Hannes [Grossmann] to Blotted Science! Those of you in the death metal world should be very familiar with his work with Necrophagist and Obscura. Of course, Alex and I wish [former Blotted Science/current Behold… The Arctopus drummer Charlie Zeleny] the very best with his current bands/projects/sessions, and many thanks for doing an absolute brilliant job on Machinations.”
And, yes, I know that’s Zeleny and not Grossmann in the above photo. There are no photos of the new line-up yet, so deal.
ANYWAY, I’d say this is all around great news. Grossmann can obviously play his ass off, and like I said, at this point I’ll take any new Blotted Science music I can get.
Jarzombek says that the band hopes to get the new EP out in early 2011, “but don’t hold your breath.” As though I needed to be instructed to be a pessimist.
