Following the recent announcement of their signing to Argonauta Records, Minneapolis, Minnesota’s EXTERMINATION DAY return with a brand new single and video, “Ruse Cycle”, offering the first taste of the band’s forthcoming album, currently in the works and slated for release at a later date.

Blending the crushing weight of Trouble and The Obsessed with the raw aggression of Poison Idea, the crossover attitude of Blind-era Corrosion of Conformity, and the unhinged spirit of Die Kreuzen, EXTERMINATION DAY continue to refine the distinctive sound they proudly call Hoss Rock.

Featuring current and former members of Suffering Hour, Satan’s Satyrs and Kult of the Wizard, the Minneapolis outfit has quickly established itself as one of the most uncompromising new voices in the American underground. Loud, confrontational, and fueled by equal parts grit and conviction, the band delivers heavy music that refuses to pull its punches.

With “Ruse Cycle”, EXTERMINATION DAY turn their attention toward the mechanisms of manipulation, division, and social control that increasingly shape modern life.

The band comments:

“Ruse Cycle is our take on the manipulation and manufactured erosion of the human spirit our government and media engages in. While people continue to engage in arguments over trivial things like who is and isn’t allowed to entertain us, the law and rights that are supposed to protect us are methodically being dismantled and increasingly hold little value. Our government is increasingly stifling free speech, using intimidation, and even busting down doors without warrants. Everything is presented to us in black and white terms, and it seems as if most media personalities are grifters monetizing human suffering. The ones in control curate culture wars to keep us all fighting each other so we don’t look upward at them.”

Musically, “Ruse Cycle” captures everything that makes EXTERMINATION DAY such a compelling force: thunderous riffs, punk-fueled urgency, doom-laden heaviness, and a fearless willingness to challenge convention. It is both a statement of intent and a powerful introduction to the next chapter of the band’s evolution.

More details about EXTERMINATION DAY’s forthcoming album will be revealed in the coming months through Argonauta Records.
