Massachusetts metal band, Escuela Grind , will release its new LP, ' Dreams on Algorithms ', on October 18 via MNRK Heavy (High on Fire, Slomosa). Recorded at Salem, Massachusetts' GodCity studio with Converge's Kurt Ballou, and mastered by Nick Townsend (Dr. Dre, Betty Davis) the record is the highly anticipated follow-up to Escuela Grind 's celebrated 2022 full-length debut, 'Memory Theater', a recording hailed as "an opus of extremity" by The New York Times.
Today, Escuela Grind drops the crushing new track, " Toothless ", and its accompanying video, directed by Seby X Martinez for Negative Kitty (Body Count, [adult swim]). The weighty "Toothless" sees Escuela Grind deliver a crunching Mortician-meets-Celtic Frost cut that is equal parts two-step tumble and weighty wood chop as vocalist Katerina Economou exclaims, "It would feel better to fail than never to be tested".
Speaking on the album title, ' Dreams on Algorithms ', Economou says, "We wanted to write an album that identifies what it’s like to consume in this era we live in: what we receive through our phones, the social media landscape, personalized algorithms, and how it is translated by our subconscious. I think most people can relate to something in their online sphere infecting their dreams. This transfer was something we really wanted to expand on, and all of the songs have themes relating to dream analysis and technology."
