Technical extreme metal all-stars BLOTTED SCIENCE, featuring 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), have posted a sample of the song, 'Omitting Eyes', and unveiled the artwork for their forthcoming EP, The Animation Of Entomology, scheduled for an October 4th release via Jarzombek's EclecticElectric label.

The cover art, created by Atlanta, GA-based artist Richard Morley of Morley Arts, can be seen below:

Described as "a cross between Cannibal Corpse, Spastic Ink, and a Bugs Bunny cartoon", The Animation Of Entomology takes Jarzombek's fascination with animated cartoons and creepy crawlies to a whole new level. Having experimented with writing complex pieces of music to sync up with movie sequences in the past with his previous outfit Spastic Ink, the concept has now been applied to Blotted Science over the course of seven songs and a total of 24 minutes of music.

Says Jarzombek: "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 Animation Of Entomology tracklisting:

'Ingesting Blattaria'

'Cretaceous Chasm'

'Vermicular Asphyxiation'
