Last Friday, Superjoint unleashed the debauched fruit of their Caught Up In The Gears Of Application full-length. Their first proper studio offering in over a decade, the thirty-eight-minute punisher spews forth an acrimonious crossover of hardcore punk, metal, and uncompromising, antagonistic, New Orleans-style angst. In celebration of its release, today the band has undraped the official new video for its title track.

Initially revealed for the first time at Superjoint's special record release show this past Saturday at Gas Monkey Live! in Dallas, Texas, "Caught Up In The Gears Of Application" was captured at various locations in Louisiana including the historic district of Old Kenner, the Blue Nile in New Orleans, and the Housecore compound. The clip was directed by Kate Richardson courtesy of Housecore Records, and shot and edited by Mike Holderbeast with production by Carolyn Babauta.

Elaborates Superjoint's Philip H. Anselmo cryptically, "The video is supposed to be as ridiculously abstract as the song itself. But regardless, it makes its ridiculous point(s) dreadfully well."

Tracklisting:

“Today And Tomorrow”
“Burning The Blanket”
“Ruin You”
“Caught Up In The Gears Of The Application”
“Sociopathic Herd Delusion”
“Circling The Drain”
“Clickbait”
“Asshole”
“Mutts Bite Too”
“Rigging The Fight”
“Receiving No Answer To The Knock”

Caught Up In The Gears Of Application was recorded at the famed Nodferatu's Lair, produced by Superjoint co-founder Philip H. Anselmo (Down, Pantera, Scour, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Arson Anthem) and Stephen Berrigan (Down, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Eyehategod, Haarp, Classhole), and mastered by Scott Hull (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Pig Destroyer) at Visceral Sounds.

Various order bundles, including limited edition vinyl options, are available via the Housecore Store. For digital orders, point your browser here. Stream the record in its entirety via the Bandcamp audio player below.

Superjoint was resurrected in 2015 after the original band broke up a decade earlier. At the behest of the late Corey Mitchell, co-founder of The Housecore Horror Film Festival, Superjoint founders Anselmo, Jimmy Bower (Down, Eyehategod), and Kevin Bond (Christ Inversion, Artimus Pyledriver) joined forces with longtime comrades, drummer José "Blue" Gonzalez (Warbeast, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals), and bassist Stephen Taylor (Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Woven Hand, 16 Horse Power). A new era of the band was born.

Consequently, the band members found true joy in playing together again. After just two tours, new material followed culminating in the scathing sounds of Caught Up In The Gears Of Application.
