Stream HOUKAGO GRIND TIME’s “Kirara Chainsaw” HERE.
Decibel Magazine is hosting the premiere of "Kirara Chainsaw," from HOUKAGO GRIND TIME, the solo mincecore/goregrind act of Andrew Lee (Ripped To Shreds, Andrew Lee’s Heavy Metal Shrapnel, Skullsmasher). The song is the latest warning shot preceding the project’s impending third album, Koncertos Of Kawaiiness: Stealing Jon Chang's Ideas, A Book by Andrew Lee, nearing release in August.
HOUKAGO GRIND TIME’s Koncertos Of Kawaiiness: Stealing Jon Chang's Ideas, A Book By Andrew Lee was recorded and mixed by Andrew Lee at his home studio, The Weeb Dungeon, mastered at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Artificial Brain, Krallice), and completed with cover collage and photography by Andrew Lee, logo and layout by Tom Maher (Skullbastard Art), and insert illustration by Makiko Suda.
“You Broke My Nutbladder” features guest vocals by Sleazy Derek and Mark Chen (both of Myxoma), "I Like Dubs Over Subs” features guest vocals from Joseph Schafer (Colony Drop) and Billy "Oi!" Smeer and a solo by Tom Maher (Mass Extinction, ex-Organ Dealer), and “Evolved Into Weebery” features guest vocals by Joe Warkentin (Archagathus).
With the "Kirara Chainsaw" single, Lee proclaims, "Rip and tear more like moe and kyun. Shamiko wielded her kirara chainsaw for your sins, so become a mazoku who can bakyunsify any guro!"
Decibel writes with the song’s debut, “Despite its silly title, Koncertos Of Kawaiiness hits with all the brutality one would expect from an album inspired by the likes of Archagathus, Dead Infection, Last Days Of Humanity and Haggus, as you’ll hear on new song ‘Kirara Chainsaw.’”
Listen to HOUKAGO GRIND TIME’s “Kirara Chainsaw” first at Decibel Magazine RIGHT HERE.
Koncertos Of Kawaiiness: Stealing Jon Chang's Ideas, A Book by Andrew Lee will be released August 16th, digitally on Outrageous Weeb Power Productions and on CD through Obliteration Records.
