So, This is the New Chelsea Grin Song

Chelsea Grin have a very severe case of Nickelback Syndrome; I’m aware there are people who like this band although I have never happened across one in real life, except those who work for their label/management/agency etc who have to pretend their music is good. Homophobe Metallers For Today suffer from this very same syndrome. It’s a very serious condition!

So here’s Chelsea Grin’s new song “Skin Deep.” It sounds slightly more djenty and Born of Osiris-y than I remember this band being — in my recollection they were way more deathcore (which is certainly still present here) — but it’s good to know that they’ve gone from aping one trend five years too late to doing the exact same thing with another. Huzzah!

That said, I will always be grateful to Chelsea Grin for the time they let me (perhaps unknowingly) chug a bottle of tequila with some other industry dudes whilst standing inside their trailer at SXSW. Thanks, guys!
