RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER Signs To Candlelight
Records
Candlelight
Records today confirms the worldwide signing of thrashers RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER. The
Philadelphia-based band is already working on their new album, titled
Ghostmaker, expected for release early spring 2012. The four-piece tested
some of their new material via a string of regional shows this past weekend and
expect to tour in support of the album once released.
Guitarist
Ryan Moll comments, “we are psyched to be on Candlelight.” Sharing details about
the ongoing recording he notes, “Right now we are in the studio working on our
third and most intense release to date. This album promises to be the fastest,
darkest, most relentless and insane album yet. It will contain some of the most
bone-crushing, graveyard stomping, Frankenstein/Dracula/Wolfman hate-fuck
riffage written thus far.”
Guitarist
Matt Moore adds, “Our wretched new masterpiece will be finished soon enough.
Each song has its own distinct and strange aura of speed, darkness, brute
strength, violence, cunning, and power. Like any respectable band, we have
raised the bar and taken on musical and lyrical concepts that would drive
commoners insane. Faster. Louder. Darker. Crazier.”
Formed
in 2002, RUMPELSTILTSKIN
GRINDER
dropped several underground releases, including a split 7" inch and a live
album, before signing with Relapse for their studio debut, Buried In the
Front Yard, released October 2005. Blabbermouth called the record “a dynamic
thrash album with roots in crossover, a musically talented cast, and loads of
tongue-in-cheek cleverness.” The band would keep busy with additional split
recordings, Speed N Spikes Vol. II (2008) and Urine Trouble / Nothing
Defeats the Skull (2008) before getting back in to the studio for their
second full length, Living for Death; Destroying the Rest also released
by Relapse January 2009. The band supported Absu for a 22-date US/Canadian tour
in April 2009, a tour with Deceased in 2010, and have been performing regionally
since.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
GRINDER
