Exclusive Song Stream: Stranguliatorius’ ‘When I Lift the Coffin Lid’
“Stranguliatorius” might not be as difficult a band name to spell and pronounce as “Sanguisugabogg,” but you’d be a fool to wager against the former band’s comparable ferocity. Hailing from Lithuania – name another music act that comes from that country, and we’ll buy you a horse – the ear-shattering, crusty death metal quintet drops its new album today via Horror Pain Gore Death.
The five-piece band, which also laces its songs with grindcore, consists of Iggy (vocals), Švedas (guitars), Mr. Adam (guitars), Dr. Dovis (bass) and Kaplerėzas (drums).
They recently told The Bad Penny in an exclusive statement that, on their third go-’round making a full-length, “Working together again felt natural – a familiar process with people who know how to let the music speak for itself and help bring it out the right way.”
The equally generous and grotesque gang granted The Bad Penny the opportunity to premiere one of the songs on the Flies Don’t Lie, named “When I Lift the Coffin Lid.”
In more exclusive remarks, the said the song “describes a morning of a funeral parlor administrator’s day: ‘the client’ may smell, bloat or have his eye open, yet a decomposing body still has to look presentable for relatives and friends – a situation we all will be in or in a way already are.”
If you weren’t hungry for a meal before reading that, Stranguliatorius will surely do your body good.
The band began streaming Flies Don’t Lie in full earlier this morning. Take a gander:
(By the way, don’t tell anybody, but Stranguliatorius’ 2012 demo and first album, Išlikimo vadovas – which translates to “survival guide” in English – are available at a pay-what-you-want price point on the group’s Bandcamp page.)
Happy Stranguliatorius-ing!
