Nails Tear You a “Wide Open Wound”

Did the previously-released track “God’s Cold Hands” get you guys  going bonkers just waiting for the new Nails album, Abandon All Life? If you’re not, you oughta be. I’m listening to it even as I type this, and it. Is. AWESOME. It will tear you a new asshole, then tear your face, and then shove that face up your new asshole. It’s that vicious. I’ve never heard any Nails music I haven’t liked, but Abandon All Life may very well be their masterpiece. I get a chubby just pretending that they’re gonna tour with Enabler.

Please allow me to try and further sell on you this album: Terrorizer has debuted a new track, “Wide Open Wound,” which you can stream below. Is there a musical equivalent to an onomatopoeia? If so, this song is it. Crushing elephants marching riffs abound. You will check your persons to see if you’ve been impaled by a tusk. The track briefly slows down just long enough for you to realize that you’re bleeding out. Oopsy.

The Kurt Ballou-produced Abandon All Life, comes out March 19 on Southern Lord. Nails will do a brief tour with Xibalba and Early Graves starting in April; dates are below, via Lambgoat:
