21st of July saw the release of the single “Burial” by Milwaukee based Choke Chain, the project for Mark Trueman. Written and produced by Trueman, while the mastering is by Eric Oehler, at Submersible Studios. Excitingly, this single heralds the new album Mortality, which will be out in September the 22nd, on Phage Tapes.
You can almost taste the anguish in Trueman’s vocals, raw and reproaching. The rhythms are unrelenting in their pounding, while the wailing in the background is like klaxons going off, creating an atmosphere of cloying terror that you still must find yourself moving to. Propelled by claustrophobia, each throbbing note is driving your heartbeats. They say death is cold, but the industrial aggression of “Burial” by Choke Chain is smoking hot.
