American doom metal/punk band Extermination Day signs with Argonauta Records!
Argonauta Records is thrilled to announce the signing of U.S. visionaries Extermination Day. Hailing from Circle Pines, Minnesota, the band has been steadily carving out their own sonic identity since 2020, channeling the volume of Blue Cheer, the raw spontaneity of The Stooges, the gloom of Trouble and the aggression of Poison Idea. The result is something they call Hoss Rock, a high-octane fusion where “it’s not about the mustache on the outside, it’s about the one on the inside.”
Founded by guitarist/vocalist Nate Towle and drummer Jason Oberuc, Extermination Day introduced themselves with the EP »If Ingested, Consult A Mortician« (2020), followed by their crushing full-length debut »Be The Consequence« (2022). The album merged punk, garage rock, doom and heavy metal into a relentless soundtrack of modern chaos, while nodding to the band’s love of vigilante cinema, with direct references to cult films like The Exterminator.
In 2024, the lineup expanded to include Josh Raiken, Ryan Janssen, and Evan Blazing, joining founding member Nate Towle. Collectively, Extermination Day boasts a pedigree that spans acclaimed acts such as Suffering Hour, Satan’s Satyrs and Kult Of The Wizard. This powerful formation has only intensified the band’s energy, both on record and on stage, where they deliver performances that are loud, raw, and unapologetically dangerous.
The band states:
“We are happy to announce a new partnership with Italy’s Argonauta Records. Gero and his label are truly passionate about music, and most importantly, they understand our innovative blend of doom metal/punk called Hoss Rock. Many credible music critics have dubbed us ‘the greatest rock and roll band in history’ and it’s high time we got the recognition we deserve. With Argonauta Records, we will be well positioned to reach a wider audience and maintain our own artistic vision.”
With this signing, Extermination Day are ready to bring their ferocious sound and larger-than-life attitude to the global stage. Fans of heavy riffs, wild energy and tongue-in-cheek chaos should prepare for one of the most unique acts in today’s underground scene.
