Southern California hardcore thrash act OBSCENE GESTURE have announced a June 16 release date for their new 4-song EP, ‘Rising Demise’, the follow-up to last year’s ‘The Truth Be Told’, through their own 187 Hoodcore Records label.

Featuring lone original member Guy Green on vocals and guitar, Vence Simpson, formerly of L.A.’s Tormentor, on lead guitar, newcomer Eric D. on bass, and Lamar Little on drums, ‘Rising Demise’ sees the band continue where they left off with ‘The Truth Be Told’ delivering an uncompromising West Coast assault of hardcore rooted thrash metal.

Sticking to their old school credo, the fearsome foursome are blitzing their way through 4 short, intense tracks, ‘Turn Away’, ‘Rising Demise’, ‘Modern Day Butcher’, and ‘Left Over.’ “This is the only way we know how to do it, man”, says Green. ”We are playing the type of music we grew up on – shit that’s raw, real and has a certain spirit to it.  I don ‘t feel there’s enough of that anymore so we’re trying to carry to torch in a way.”

OBSCENE GESTURE originally came together a decade ago when frontman Guy Green teamed up with former and current members of Body Count and Agent Steel, Vincent D. and Juan Garcia, aka Juan of the Dead on guitars, bassist George Robb and drummer Chuck Profus  recording 2007’s ‘Living In Profanity’ for Spanish label Xtreem Music. 

The band’s next full-length album is currently in the works and set for an early 2016 release.
