On October 10th, Extortionist will release their new album, Stare Into The Seething Wounds, via Unique Leader Records. While known for their harrowing “deathcore” inspired sound that they began playing in their inception, Extortionist matures into their final form with this upcoming record, by invoking a fresh, and intentionally unique sound. The first single, “Cycle Of Sin”, can be heard now here; watch the video here:

Extortionist comments: “We are thrilled to announce the release of ‘Cycle of Sin’. The debut single off of our upcoming record titled ‘Stare Into The Seething Wounds’.

“This record is a vulnerable and brutally honest depiction of unprocessed trauma and the results of leaving your wounds untended.”

Extortionist is the raw, relentless pulse of the Pacific Northwest—a band born in the shadow of rain-soaked evergreens by way of Coeur D’Alene. Forged from the grime of the PNW’s rural landscape and the quiet fury of coastal solitude, Extortionist channels haunting harmonies in the likes of Alice in Chains while fully capturing the visceral aggression of Slipknot – creating a sound that is both familiar and fiercely their own.

While many artists attempt to replicate the iconic sound of the 90s grunge and 00s metal, very few raise the bar to where Extortionist’s album, Stare Into the Seething Wounds, will take you. Weaving heavy riffs, layered vocals, and daunting cadences together, their music crafts a brooding atmosphere that feels like a weight in one’s chest.
