Goregrind unit GUINEAPIG are gearing up for the release of the band’s highly anticipated new album, which will be coming out on June 10th via Spikerot Records.

Eight long years after the debut “Bacteria”, the Italian trio delivers with “Parasite” an album that will redefine the very concept of Goregrind. The material is absolutely cutting-edge and forward-thinking without ever losing sight of the roots, the production is crisp and blistering, the songwriting fluctuates between abysmal tunings, Death Metal mid-tempos and ripping breakdowns.

After the release of the first two singles “Mermaid In A Manhole” and “Taxidermia”, the band follows up with a brand new music video for the track “City Of The Monkey God”.

Guitarist and vocalist Fra comments: 
“CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD takes its name from a 16th century legend about a curse spreading disease in a lost city in Honduras. The mystery was solved only 500 years later, when a group of explorers got their faces disfigured due to a flesh-eating parasite.In opposite to the lyric, which explains what happened to the poor explorers, the video focuses more on the old legend, envisioning the whole story from God’s point of view. We, guineapig, have always wanted to be off the grid, breaking down  schemes and clichés, both musically and aesthetically: CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is a symbolic video about an ancient divinity, more precisely a Goddess in our interpretation, who’s conscious of her power but at the same time affected by it. What she created, her land, is what is soiling her state of purity.“

The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Marco Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio – Rome (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Shores Of Null) in September/October 2021. Stunning artwork by Fabio Timpanaro.

The material is absolutely cutting-edge and forward-thinking without ever losing sight of the roots, the production is crisp and blistering, the songwriting fluctuates between abysmal tunings, Death Metal mid-tempos and ripping breakdowns. In support of the new album, GUINEAPIG have shared a lyric video for the track “Taxidermia”.

Bassist and vocalist Alessio comments:

Taxidermia takes its name from the brilliantly bizarre Hungarian film of the same name. It’s a straightforward fast track with typical Guineapig’s breakdowns and mid-tempo parts but including new fresh elements which are present in our new album. The lyrics are about a human being performing taxidermy on himself, very fascinating practice in some ways, yet quite extreme and impossible to fulfill. With such sick lyrics to complete it, this song will be one of our audience’s live favorites for sure.

The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Marco Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio – Rome (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Shores Of Null) in September/October 2021. Stunning artwork by Fabio Timpanaro.

Spikerot Records has launched the pre-orders of ‘PARASITE’, new album of Goregrind innovators GUINEAPIG, along with the release of the first track ‘Mermaid In A Manhole’, available on all major digital platforms and in the form of this disturbing video, watch HERE.

Directed by Marco Ristori and Luca Boni (Extreme Video), features the talents of Italian performing artist Stelladiplastica and SFX and make-up artist Carlo Diamantini (‘All The Money In The World’, ‘Tale of Tales’).

Guitarist/Vocalist Fra explains:
“The core idea behind the video is that of decontextualizing an element notoriously recognized as beautiful and pure (the mermaid) immersed in a narrow, dark, dirty place (the manhole). In Homer’s Odissey the mermaid is a fascinating but at the same time dangerous being: in a place that is not precisely defined, the protagonist transforms herself, alters herself by changing her nature, without never being a victim of what happens but always leading such events. The video plays with contrasts, opposites, black and white.“

‘Parasite’ will be coming out on June 10th in various formats. The pre-order is available HERE

Spikerot Records is stoked to welcome on board the heaviest goregrind band on planet earth:  GUINEAPIG! Their sophomore album is due to be released late spring 2022 on CD, LP and digital.

Eight long years after their debut album ‘Bacteria’, that has propelled the Italian three-piece towards the stages of some of the most important European festivals around, such as BRUTAL ASSAULT, PARTY SAN, OBSCENE EXTREME, and also brought them to share the infamous Gorecrusher European Tour with fellows GUTALAX and SPASM on multiple occasions.

The band has grown significantly since their inception while remaining true to their roots! On this matter, Fra says “We, as human beings, evolve and enrich ourselves during the years. This album reflects the essence of GUINEAPIG now, after many years from the first one. It took a while but I’m sure it is worth the wait!”

Rest assured, it’s gonna be massive!

Pre-orders will start soon, meanwhile you can still get ‘Bacteria’ on vinyl, reissued by Spikerot Records a few years back, at THIS LOCATION
