Italian grind core legends CRIPPLE BASTARDS welcomes Raphael Saini as their new drummer. The band stated via their official Facebook page:
“After 15 years, 3 full length albums and countless shows all over the world, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and drummer AL MAZZOTTI part ways to pursue separate and different paths. Being a friend and an extremely gifted musician who actively contributed in shaping the CRIPPLE BASTARDS trademark sound, we wish him the very best both in personal and professional life. The heavy task to blast CB’s drum kit is now in the hands of brazilian-sardinian piledriving sniper RAPHAEL SAINI (JADED STAR, Ex ICED EARTH, touring drummer with MASTER, ARHYTHMIA etc, chief at Bateras Beat Drumschool). Amazingly talented and ready to grind, he will surely set new standards in ballistic precision and brutality. This press release is to be considered final about this topic, no question will be answered. Upcoming shows will be announced soon.”
Raphael gave Metal Shock Finland his thoughts on joining the band :
“I Just love the Band and the Music they do, it’s an honour for me play with One of the biggest grind core bands ever.”
You could say this is a ‘grindcore hat-trick’ as it is the third OEF appearance in 2014 for Italian hate mob CRIPPLE BASTARDS after headlining the insane Obscene Extreme Asia in Tokyo and Obscene Extreme Australia in Melbourne earlier this year. But if you really want to see the Bastards play at home, then Obscene Extreme Trutnov is the grounds for the final massacre. They have been blasting the shit on stage since the festival’s birth back in 1999 and raised the most infernal stage diving pits for countless times through the years that followed.
26 years after their conception Cripple Bastards still hold the banner high as Italy’s most hostile and aggressive grind/hardcore unit around. With one foot firmly in the past and all the vicious savagery of manic fast 80’s hardcore extremity, Cripple Bastards are also charging forwards. With bloodshot eyes and a rabid ‘get out and bite them’ attitude, this band are ready to introduce their brand new 2014 full length ‘Nero In Metastasi’ on Relapse Records and they will consolidate their ongoing mission of bringing nihilistic, fuck-you-all, grinding hatred to every corner of an underserving mankind. Cripple Bastards will also be introducing for the first time ever on Trutnov’s Battlefield their 5 piece line-up with new axeman Wild Vitto on second guitar which will only enhance their wall of hate/grind fury!
Listen to ‘Malato Terminale’ taken from the ‘Nero In Metastasi’ album:
