US death metallers BROKEN HOPE are touring Europe now on the “Hell On Earth: There Is No More Room In Hell Tour” with Cattle Decapitation, Hideous Divinity and Gloryhole Guillotine to present their seventh studio album “Mutilated and Assimilated”! Lauded as “a delightfully brutal and disgusting sonic assault” (Kerrang!) which “offers Jeremy Wagner’s finest riffs in years” (Metal Injection), the album is an intense and ferocious opus bearing all classic BROKEN HOPE trademarks.

In further celebration of “Mutilated and Assimilated”, the band has prepared a new music video for the pummeling track, “Outback Incest Clan”, which can be seen here:

Guitarist Jeremy Wagner commented:
“What’s in a name? Our song titles usually say a lot, and “Outback Incest Clan” should tell you what’s in store. I got the idea for the subject matter straight from our sick vocalist, Damian Leski, who has given me a few lyrical ideas. This song is based on true events! I’ll give you the Wikipedia lowdown:
It’s about the ‘Colt family incest case,’ dubbed by media as the “Colt incest clan,” an Australian family discovered in 2012 to have been engaging in four generations of incest beginning with ‘Tim and June Colt,’ a brother and sister who emigrated from New Zealand in the 1970s. The family grew to nearly 40 members ranging from grandparents to mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, nephews, brothers and sisters all engaging in various forms of incest. Many of the children suffered from deformities and medical problems. The video was another collaboration between director Tommy Jones and BROKEN HOPE and we love the way this one played out with Tommy’s cool camera angles and the creepiness he injected into it. Enjoy!”

“Mutilated and Assimilated” is available now as Special Edition CD+DVD Digipak, regular black and coloured Gatefold 2LP plus CD, and on all digital & streaming outlets. Get your copy today at http://smarturl.it/MutilatedAssimilated

BROKEN HOPE Premiere 360° Video For “The Meek Shall Inherit Shit”

BROKEN HOPE have released a sick new 360 degree video for their latest track “The Meek Shall Inherit Shit” premiering at Explicitly Intense.com, here.

Explore unique perspectives of the extreme and incredible art of Wes Benscoter and experience a kaleidosphere of death metal misanthropy at every turn in this all new interactive video.

While much of the album pays tributes to John Carpenter’s classic The Thing and John W. Campbell Jr’s short story Who Goes There (heed the title track “Mutilated and Assimilated” and brutal instrumental “Beneath Antarctic Ice”) The lyrics behind “The Meek Shall Inherit Shit” were actually inspired by the true horrors observed in the real world.

“The Meek Shall Inherit Shit” is a premonitory message about the increasingly irreversible dangers of global pollution. Guitarist and songwriter Jeremy Wagner further explains: “The Meek Shall Inherit Shit is a song I’ve been wanting to write lyrically for some time. I’m an environmentalist–a guy who considers environment, rather than heredity, as the primary influence on the development human beings. Homo sapiens are living in a shitpile. We constantly foul our nest, we are killing the planet, and we cause up to 2,000 extinctions every year. Look, I don’t want to get all hippy and political here. I just love the natural world so much and I hate what’s being done to it. It fucking pisses me off! And you can hear my anger in the lyrics and the music of this track.”

BROKEN HOPE once again tapped director Tommy Jones for the making of this 360° clip who also directed the lyric video for the album title track, where he incorporated live footage of BROKEN HOPE in Berlin with storyboards by illustrator Mark Rudolph. Watch the lyric video here:

Or stream the single it on Spotify: http://smarturl.it/MutilatedSpotify

BROKEN HOPE will release their seventh studio album, Mutilated and Assimilated June 23, 2017. Decibel Magazine calls Mutilated and Assimilated “…death metal wonderfully devoid of artifice and filler, packed with songs that drive to a finish without stopping for one second and never engage in useless pleasantries…” New Noise Magazine states “Mutilated and Assimilated sounds impressively fresh, and it may go down as one of the best death metal albums of the year.”

Produced by Scott Creekmore, Mutilated and Assimilated will be released in the following album formats: Limited Edition CD+DVD Digipak in North America, Special Edition CD+DVD Digipak in Europe, and digital & streaming versions available on all the major outlets worldwide!

Watch the official video for the track “Mutilated and Assimilated” here:

“As you watch and hear, the story of a monstrous alien thawed out of Antarctic ice unfolds in pure horror with a death metal soundtrack. The video was directed by Tommy Jones, who uniquely wove in BH concert footage from Berlin with incredible storyboards by the great Mark Rudolph. Mark Rudolph worked hard to create these amazing storyboards–much like legendary artist Mike Ploog did for the original movie.” elaborates guitarist Jeremy Wagner. “Huge thanks to all our fans for waiting patiently for the new BH album.

BROKEN HOPE Unveil “Mutilated And Assimilated” Cover Art, Tracklist And Formats

BrokenHope

Chicago’s very own conductors of Death Metal brutality, BROKEN HOPE are pleased to announce details of their forthcoming full length album, “Mutilated and Assimilated”, which will see the light of day on Friday June 23rd 2017 via Century Media Records.

Regarding the new album guitarist/lyricist/founding father Jeremy Wagner says:
“BROKEN HOPE studio album number SEVEN?! Un-fucking-believable! I’m floored at how amazing our new album turned out. The songs are relentless and violent and dark and heavy–and ALL from a fresh and ferocious place we haven’t shared before. Moreover, thanks to my new studio and the stellar work of engineering/producing Jedi-Scott Creekmore–the production is on a sonic level like we’ve never had in our career.

Thanks to my brothers: Damian, Mike, Matt, Diego, and Scott–ALL of whom brought their amazing talent and skills not just to the table, but kicked it into the stratosphere! Thank you to Wes Benscoter for collaborating with us to create the epic/sick/THING-inspired album artwork, and a huge thanks to Century Media worldwide for being in our corner with this new album.

For me personally, I feel “Mutilated and Assimilated” is my own finest hour as a guitarist and lyricist since I formed this band as teenager. I’ve never felt this inspired before. The album has my strongest riffage to date, it also has Leski riffage on a few songs, it has my best friends on it, and in a crazy twist, I used Jeff Hanneman’s guitars to write the album with and used them to track with in honor of his influence on myself AND the world of metal.

There’s a LOT going on with this new BH album! I can’t wait for you all to hear “Mutilated and Assimilated”. DEATH METAL forever!”

The album will be released as a Limited Edition CD+DVD Digipak in North America and in a Special Edition CD+DVD Digipak in Europe, as well as digital & streaming versions available on all the major outlets worldwide.

The LP version will be released in the following vinyl colours:
