COGNITIVE: Brutal Death Metal Behemoths premiere “Haunted Justice” lyric video

Deformity is the impending new full-length from Garden State-based death metal deviants COGNITIVE. Set to drop via Unique Leader later this month, the nine-track slab of inexorable brutality was captured at Full Force Studio by Joe Cincotta (Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, Dehumanized) and mastered at West West Side Studios by Alan Douches (Cannibal Corpse, Converge, Black Breath, Mastodon et al).

 In advance of its release, today the bruise-bringers at No Clean Singing are pleased to premiere the official lyric video to the track, “Haunted Justice.”

“‘Haunted Justice’ is about a town of tortured people attempting to exact their revenge on the witches that have stolen, sacrificed, and consumed their children,” elaborates the band. “The only problem is, when you kill the Host body to Pure Evil, you only wind up doing it the favor of releasing it and unleashing true terror onto the world. Give it a listen, read, and learn the lyrics so you can sing with us next time we’re in your town. Also, listen closely to the amazing guest spots from Misery Index’s very own Mark Kloeppel who absolutely killed the track and brought a visceral sound of hate to life in his performance.”

Adds No Clean Singing, “At the outset, it’s an overpowering torrent of vicious sound propelled by drumming that simulates a war zone and by slashing, meat-cleaving riffs operating at top speed, coupled with monstrous roars and hair-on-fire shrieking. After this opening barrage has effectively cracked open your cranium like an egg and ejected your eyeballs from the skull due to explosive pressure, then COGNITIVE start messing with your brain in an eerie, neuron-scrambling interplay between solo guitar and bass. And finally, the band erupt in one last frenzy of rampant hammering decimation.”

Hailing from South Jersey, COGNITIVE was born in 2011 with the sole intent to create heavy, intensely technical music, while maintaining an edge of creativity that separates them from the over-produced sea of subgenres. Combining technicality, guitar solos, grooves, and abstract ideas within their songwriting, COGNITIVE is continually pushing itself to think outside of the proverbial box while maintaining an organic and unapologetically brutal edge. COGNITIVE seeks only to advance itself musically and export New Jersey’s undying hatred globally.
