Bestial Mouths - Hissing Veil

Steadly grown a intense following in the southern California death rock / minimal synth scene over the past few years, Bestial Mouth’s coalesced a meditation on the relationship between transgressive rock and illuminating electronics conceived in a flurry of automatic annihilation, Hissing Veil is an urgent declaration revealed in a barrage of primitive rhythms and feral calls.

Uncompromising, beautiful synth and beat driven compositions haunted by deep and brooding female vocals. Described by some as ritualistic, other compare Bestial Mouths to a haunting horror soundtrack only with a hopeless surrealism added for good measure. Their live performances are an relentless whirlwind of gothic rapture, recorded the band flawlessly captures this energy into the new post punk classic cannon.

Bestial Mouths- Deathday- SplitDesire is proud to present an unique record : a limited split between two of the hottest bands in LA, Bestial Mouths and Deathday in collaboration with Sweating Tapes.

Pooling together a group of influences as diverse as its members, Bestial Mouths present a raw, synth-driven energy propelled by singer Lynette Cerezo’s powerful vocals. Often likened to Diamanda Galas, Siouxsie Sioux or Lydia Lunch, Cerezo delivers each note with fury and abandon. Synthesists/keyboardists Christopher Myrick and Gustavo Aldana channel early industrial, EBM, goth and minimal synth pop in turns, blending harsh electronics and lush melodies. When fused to Aldana’s splintered programmed beats and the tribal rhythms and samples of drummer Jessica Reuter, the harmonics combine to breathe new life into post punk, weaving their own distinct creation in the process. Bestial Mouths has released an album on Dais Records.

Constructed from the aggressive textures of early industrial music, the ambiance of coldwave, and the carnal energy of post-punk; Deathday blends dark and often esoteric images with sparse, primal analog sounds. The quartet has recently contributed tracks to Downwards’ So Click Heels and Mannequin’s The End Of Civilization compilations. Deathday’s self-titled debut will be reissued on limited white vinyl later this year via desire in association with Sweating Tapes.

Limited edition of 500 copies – 12’’ x 12’’ professionally printed insert – black vinyl – download card.
