After another session copulating into existence its latest
batch of scathing buzzsaw riffery, Portland’s ravenous vermin RABBITS has
completed its new noise.Bites Rites will invade the human
population in the final days of Summer 2012, a release guaranteed to scurry
more shit into your life than the loved/loathed 2011-released Relapse Records
debut Lower Forms.
RABBITS’ latest intoxicated orgy of adrenalized
lagomorphic chaos will see release this September via a recent infestation of
Good To Die Records. On Bites Rites this obligate
nasal-breathing collective of rhythm morticians -- drummer KG and
guitarists/vocalists Sethro and Booze -- ravenously gnaw through nine tracks,
including demented covers of Spacemen 3's “2:35” and Husker Du's “What's Going
On.” Yes, a Butthole Surfers, Melvins, Unsane or Buzzov*en reference may
scuttle forth during the sonic bombardment of Bites Rites, yet a
thoroughbred uniqueness abounds within each segment. Bites Rites was
recorded and mixed by Fester at Haywire Studios, Portland, (Wizard Rifle, Atriarch, Nux
Vomica) and mastered by Ryan Foster at Foster Mastering,
Portland (Agalloch, Muslimgauze, Fishbone), with cover art by Sacramento artist
Skinner (author of Every
Man Is My Enemy) and drawings and titles by Portland artist Kevin Abell
(co-editor of Nudity in
Groups). Bites Rites will be released on 180-gram LP with
included digital download delivery via Good To Die Records on September 18th.
Experience Bites Rites’ fifth track "Meth
Valley 99" where RABBITS joins a mess of other Good To
Die artists via a digital comp the label recently releasedRIGHT HERE.
