Immortal Bird

Sin Querencia

20 Buck Spin

***ON LIMITED BONE CLOUDY VINYL!!! Chicago’s most uniquely harrowing and technically ferocious chaos unit Immortal Bird are back with their highly anticipated third album. 2019’s Thrive On Neglect saw the band maneuvering through an amalgam of sounds, blossoming into a warped and angular display of multi-layered anguish, that now serves as a springboard for further expansion on new album Sin Querencia. Abandoning genre constraints, Immortal Bird coherently fuse elements of death and black metal, hardcore tumult, a dose of their city’s noise rock agitation, and a compositional complexity that recalls stalwart boundary-pushers like Gorguts and Ulcerate. Recording as a three-piece on Sin Querencia, guitarist Nate Madden recorded the majority of bass along with multi-instrumentalist bandmates Rae Amitay and Matt Korajczyk. The trio have evolved their collaboration to forge a cacophonous maelstrom of jagged metal intricacy with a surgical clarity, seeing the combination of Madden on guitar and Korajczyk on drums at its most centered and engaging. Amitay gives another heart-rending and diverse vocal performance over the frenzied tempest the band lay down, riven with a focused and energized hostility. They also utilize dulcet and haunting layers of clean vocals on opener “Bioluminescent Toxins” in a quieter moment demonstrating the band’s dynamic abilities and desire to broaden their sonic horizons. Amitay’s thought-provoking lyrical range weaves through visceral subject matter, threading together allegory and allusion in vehement admonishments of hypocrisy, as well as confronting the brutal complicity and complacency in current reality.

Thrive On Neglect

20 Buck Spin

***NOW ON LIMITED COKE BOTTLE GREEN W/ BONE & PINK SPLATTER VINYL!!! Bands mixing sub-genres in underground metal often do so with mixed and inconsistent results. Not so with Chicago’s Immortal Bird who wield their eclectic savagery with meticulous cohesion and sharpened ferocity. Returning with Thrive On Neglect, the band’s second album, and first for 20 Buck Spin, the band takes the perilous road of musical diversity and command it with a bloodthirsty rage. With a multi-layered sound running the gamut from pummeling grind and death metal to dissonant blackened metal, angular noise and complex hardcore, Immortal Bird defy simple categorization. The band’s compositions fuse into strikingly savage songs, vast in their scope and more than the sum of their disparate parts, merging the progressive and destructive into a maelstrom of raging fire. Rae Amitay’s seething vocal exorcisms and targeted lyrical aggression provide the connective tissue holding this stylized violence together. Aided and abetted by the incomparable Dave Otero (Archspire, Cobalt, Khemmis) Thrive On Neglect features a punishingly heavy production ideally suited for the band’s tumultuous arrangements and orchestrated chaos. Nearly four years in the making, this album is a blistering statement of intent from a band ascending into full bloom.
