YAUTJA Sign With Forcefield Records For Release Of Debut Album
November 19, 2013, 10 years ago
Forcefield Records has announced the impending release of the debut LP from gnarled grind/death act, YAUTJA.
Featuring members of COLISEUM, GNARWHAL, NAMELESS CULTS and more, and hailing from the filthy underbelly of "Music City," Yautja forges a potent mix of death metal, grind, and hardcore. Started in Nashville, Tennessee in January 2010 by vocalist/guitarist Shibby Poole and drummer/vocalist Tyler Coburn, the band began playing shows locally, released a live tape that August, and did some touring with then bassist Trey Stallings. In October 2010, bassist/vocalist Kayhan Vaziri joined the band, and in 2011, Yautja released a five-song EP, titled 2011, on Nashville-based label Tapes of a Neon God, which was followed by an East Coast tour. 2012 saw the band release a split 7" with Enabler, as well as complete a tour of the Southeast US.
Entitled Songs Of Descent, Yautja's debut album presents the band's ultra-intense metallic, grind-infused, tone-heavy hardcore aggression with thunderous, organic recording attributes, captured at Dark Art Studios with Mikey Allred (INTER ARMA, ACCROSS TUNDRAS, HELLBENDER). Burning down everything in earshot with fourteen hook-laden crushers in just over thirty-seven minutes, Forcefield Records will release Songs Of Descent on LP and digitally in early February 2014; the digital version mastered by Mikey Allred and the vinyl mastered by Zack Allen of Obsidian Eye (LOSS, RECLUSE, SKY BURIAL).
