Elaborates Harrison, "'The Atrophied' contains all the hallmarks of a classic MONSTROSITY song. From the opening drum rolls and Mark Van Erp's spiraling bass intro, it surges forward with ferocious blasting energy, then weaves through a dynamic landscape of devastating riffs and intricate rhythmic shifts. This was an important song for us to get right, and I feel the guys really pulled through with this one. Our new vocalist Ed Webb commands the storm, shifting seamlessly from guttural depths to razor sharp highs and lending the performance a gripping, almost cinematic intensity. Matt Barnes unleashes chaotic and spiraling melodic runs that echo the band's most iconic moments, with additional crushing guitar work by Justin Walker. I aimed to craft the lyrics as a haunting narrative of decay and collapse, perfectly framed by the forceful and punishing production from Audiohammer and Morrisound Studios. 'The Atrophied' delivers MONSTROSITY at our most direct and ferocious!"
Adds Barnes, "'The Atrophied' came together through our usual working method, but it delivered an unexpected result in the end. Lee brought the song to the table in a stripped down, skeletal form. We spent a lot of time sending demos back and forth, adding transitions, tweaking riffs, changing a few notes… the usual. But something happened along the way. Once we finished writing it and everyone had their parts locked in, when we finally played it all together, it felt more like an epic saga than just another death metal song. 'The Atrophied' may be the most musically and emotionally complex song MONSTROSITY has ever recorded. Don't get me wrong, we've had songs that were more complex in terms of pure technical nuts and bolts, real fretboard acrobatics, but those tracks are usually locked into one mood, one color. 'The Atrophied' for me, carries the feel of a 15-minute Rush or Iron Maiden epic, yet it's tightly condensed, unpretentious, and, as always, unabashedly death metal."
Emerging from the shadowy depths of the extreme metal underground, Monstrosity reasserts their unrelenting dominance with their latest opus, "Screams from Beneath the Surface." This ferocious release showcases the band’s signature blend of aggression, technical precision, and intensity. Led by drummer, founder, and primary songwriter Lee Harrison, Monstrosity is reinvigorated with a formidable lineup: long-tenured guitarist Matt Barnes, the triumphant return of original bassist Mark Van Erp, and vocalist Ed Webb, whose guttural, visceral delivery injects electrifying new energy into the band’s sound. "Screams from Beneath the Surface" not only solidifies Monstrosity’s hallmark death metal ferocity but also pushes the genre’s boundaries, forging a path that is both innovative and true to their roots.
