Courtesy of Cursed Monk Records:

Sorewound is a sludge metal project with punk influences comprised of musicians from several different scenes within the Costa Rican underground. With backgrounds that range from punk and death metal to hardcore and doom, Sorewound shun current trends within the Sludge sub-genre, and are focused on style that was more akin to the bands that were coming out in early 2000’s.

»Espanto« is a raw, distorted storm of 5 songs that sink listeners slowly into the most miserable depths only to pull them back into the surface with violent outbursts of fills and pumping bass work. The guitars focus on maxing distortion and crushing weight. The vocals cut through as rabid animals destroying their surroundings. Lyrics dwell into human despair, corrupt politics, stranded relationships and emptiness in the absence of connection.

»Espanto« will be out on CD and Digital on December 5th and is available to preorder via Cursed Monk Records’ Bandcamp: cursedmonk.bandcamp.com/album/espanto
