HOWL Release Lyric Video For 'Attrition'; Band Prepare For SXSW Takeover
March 7, 2013, 11 years ago
Providence, RI’s HOWL will release their sophomore album, Bloodlines, on April 26th in Germany, April 29th in UK/Europe, and April 30th in North America, via Relapse Records. The band have now released a lyric video for 'Attrition', from the upcoming Bloodlines. Watch below:
Bloodlines was recorded at the infamous Planet Z Studio in Hadley, Massachusetts with Chris “Zeuss” Harris (CROWBAR, MUNICIPAL WASTE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD), its metallic lead-footed sludge hitting with all the subtlety of getting shot in the face with a howitzer.

Howl guitarist / vocalist Vincent Hausman commented on the new recordings: "This is the meanest and heaviest thing we've ever done, and we feel like the songwriting is a big step forward since Full Of Hell. We're super psyched to team up with Zeuss, because we feel like he'll properly capture this monster of a record."
