Bottled Science's new EP completed
Sunday, 09 October 2011
Bottled Science, the extreme technical metal trio composed by guitarist Ron Jarzombek (Spastic Ink, Watchtower, Terrestrial Exiled), bassist Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal), and drummer Hannes Grossman (Obscura, Terrestrial Exiled), has completed its new EP "The Animation Of Entomology".
The tracklist of this follow-up to the band's 2007 full-length album is the following:
01. Ingesting Blattaria
02. Cretaceous Chasm
03. Vermicular Asphyxiation
04. A Sting Operation -I. Human Barbequed
05. A Sting Operation -II. Cessation Sanitation
06. A Sting Operation -III. Seeing Dead People
07. A Sting Operation -IV. Omitting Eyes
Commented Jarzombek: "Usually with any release that I'm part of, whether it's on my own, or in a band/project context, I have a specific direction of how I hope things turn out, and this is another one that was absolutely nailed. Putting together these long distant recordings always involves a tremendous amount of time, discipline, communication, and motivation, and once again we wrote and completed another recording without the three of us ever having been in the same room together. While putting this all together was a bitch and a half, working with Alex and Hannes has been beyond exhilarating!
As many of you know, all 24-plus minutes of the EP are a musical score to some type of bug movies. We will reveal the first one at my YouTube channel next Friday. We'll miss Friday the 13th by one day, but hopefully this viewing will be creepy enough for you. And so until the video appears, enjoy the audio. I realize that it all may be beyond wacky at this point, but it all will soon make perfect sense. In the meantime, you can get the digital download from iTunes or Amazon (Rhapsody, eMusic, etc. should follow shortly) or grab a physical copy of the EP from CD Baby or IndieMerch (who will also be our official merch company from now on; new shirts will be arriving soon), or directly from me at RonJarzombek.com. "
"We wanted to follow up 'The Machinations Of Dementia' along some of the same lines of science and gore, and came up with a killer concept and some great material with yet another 12-tone writing system. I totally busted my ass syncing things up, carefully orchestrated music to film, bug movies actually, and nit-picked notes to death on this material until my fingers bled and my brain nearly exploded. How everything falls into place I think is beyond incredible! Whether this is the heaviest or most technical thing I've ever done, I don't really know or care, but no other band/project is pulling off what we are doing with this EP."
