Earlier this year, former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo — now of Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Dead Cross and more — announced that he somehow found time for another band. Empire State Bastard are a grindcore group Lombardo's doing with two members of Scottish alt-rockers Biffy Clyro, Simon Neil and Mike Vennart, and after announcing their debut full-length earlier this week, today (June 1st) they've dropped another single.
Like March's "Harvest," this new joint called "Stutter" is a vicious punk-metal assault that's laced with eerie ambiance and foreboding clean vocals. As always, Lombardo drums like a madman on it. Check it out above via YouTube.
Empire State Bastard's Roadrunner Records debut, Rivers of Heresy, arrives September 1st and you can pre-order it here.
