Denver hardcore/metalcore outfit Hellgrammites—Bill Jenkins (drums), Erik Petersen (vocals/synths/samples), Lehi Petersen (guitar), Troy Ten Eyck (bass)—are unleashing a brand new video for the track, “Bayonet,” from their upcoming Ethos EP. It’s a performance video set in some sort of dystopian laboratory and finds the band playing unorthodox instruments. “Bayonet” is a lurching, swirling, stuttering crusher filled with noisy, atonal guitars, larynx-shredding vocals and precise, dense rhythm section.
Ethos was recorded at Cousin Cloud Studios in Denver, CO and The Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, CO. It was produced and mixed by Colton Krohn. Additional audio engineering was done by Miles Stevenson, and it was mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room. It’s set for release on May 16 via Lost Future Records.

The band had this to say about its latest track/video:
“’Bayonet’ is a ferocious opening shot from our Ethos EP, delivering razor-sharp critiques of nationalism through blistering riffs and unrelenting energy.”
