Exclusive Track Premiere: “Palindrome” by Tithe

Not since Sally Struthers has Portland, OR produced anything as utterly terrifying as Tithe. The trio —  Matt Eiseman (guitar/vocals), Alex Huddleston (bass), and Kevin Swartz (drums) — have devised a sui generis concoction of death, grind, and sludge that has an apocalyptic, occultist quality to it, conjuring images of other worlds and realities unfit for comprehension by the pitiful human mind. “Palindrome,” from their upcoming album Penance, alternates between sounding agitated and hallucinatory… but whether it’s going fast or taking it slow, the music always feels as though it’s actively straining to reach out through the speakers, engulf you, and transport you somewhere you’re rightfully afraid to go. Go ahead, scream and beg for mercy all you like — no one is coming to save you.

MetalSucks is thrilled to debut “Palindrome,” which we strongly suggest you check out below! Penance, which was recorded and mixed by Fester (Usnea, Stoneburner) at Haywire Recording Studios, will be released on May 15th via Tartarus Records. You can pre-order it here (physical) or here (digital).
