Wristmeetrazor announce new album, drop lead single Trepanation

Wristmeetrazor have announced details of their third album Degeneration.

The quintet will be releasing the follow-up to 2021’s Replica Of A Strange Love on March 29 via Prosthetic Records, and they’re previewing the LP with crushing lead single Trepanation.

Vocalist Justin Fornof explains that, “We chose Trepanation as the first single because it summed up the new direction of the record in the most aggressive way possible. Unlike our last record, this one features new members Elaine on bass and Nate on guitar.

“The song is the reflection of a dream I had a few days before flying to New Jersey to record, I had dreamed that I was in some sort of nightmarish cooking show that had me cut off my own hand, boil and eat it. Afterwards I looked at the stump where my hand was and felt phantom movements.

“The record is about misanthropy and being driven beyond nihilism to hate, this song is my self-internalisation of that. Pain seeks more pain, at least in my experience.”
