Basick Records has announced that the legendary BLOTTED SCIENCE have joined their ever growing family of forward thinking and progressive metal acts.

Featuring the talents of guitarist/mastermind Ron Jarzombek (WATCHTOWER, TERRESTRIAL EXILED, SPASTIC INK), bassist Alex Webster (CANNIBAL CORPSE, HATE ETERNAL), and new arrival, drummer Hannes Grossmann (OBSCURA, TERRESTRIAL EXILED), Blotted Science produce some of the most extreme technical music known to man.

Ron Jarzombek, guitarist and evil genius behind Blotted Science commented: “I'm really excited to be partnering with Barley and the Basick Records crew on the new Blotted Science record, The Animation of Entomology. They are a young, exciting company on the cutting edge, whose roster is very much compatible with what Blotted Science is all about, so I feel like this will be a great home for us. Feeding The Animation Of Entomology into their distribution channels should noticeably improve our retail visibility and availability compared to The Machinations Of Dementia. I'm looking forward to working with Basick and maximizing our potential to the fullest in Europe!"

Basick label owner Barley, also comments: “Having been a huge admirer of Ron’s output for a number of years, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Blotted Science to the family! I can’t wait to get this record out to all our dedicated fans in Europe!”

Set for release via Baskick on November 28th 2011, Blotted Science's EP, The Animation Of Entomology (the follow-up to the band's highly acclaimed 2007 The Machinations Of Dementia) will once again raise the bar for extreme, instrumental progressive metal.

Blotted Science recently posted the video for the song, 'Cretaceous Chasm'. The track comes off The Animation Of Entomology, which was released October 4th in North America on EclecticElectric.

Check out the video below:

Described as "a cross between Cannibal Corpse, Spastic Ink, and a Bugs Bunny cartoon", The Animation Of Entomology takes Jarzombek's life-long fascination with animated cartoons, bugs and assorted creepy crawlies to a whole new level:

"We wanted to follow up The Machinations Of Dementia along some of the same lines of science and gore, and came up with a killer concept and some great material with yet another 12-tone writing system. I totally busted my ass syncing things up, carefully orchestrated music to film, bug movies actually, and nit-picked notes to death on this material until my fingers bled and my brain nearly exploded. How everything falls into place I think is beyond incredible! Whether this is the heaviest or most technical thing I've ever done, I don't really know or care, but no other band/project is pulling off what we are doing with this EP."

The folllow-up to the band's highly acclaimed 2007 The Machinations Of Dementia full-length album was produced and mixed by Ron Jarzombek and recorded in San Antonio, TX, Tampa, FL, and V. Santura's (OBSCURA, TRIPTYKON) Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany where the drums were cut. Mastering duties were once again handled by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, DESTRUCTION) at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark. The cover art was done by Atlanta, GA-based artist Richard Morley of Morley Arts.
