Earlier this month, Texas grind veterans PLF joined forces with the last word in short, fast, and loud - Six Weeks Records - to release their latest album, Devious Persecution and Wholesale Slaughter, and fittingly enough, the no-bullshit metal commentariat at Gunshy Assassin have stepped in to stream the record in full.

Highly praised by MSN Music ("Suitably fast, violent, and relentless, it’s highlighted by slyly accessible riffs amidst the chaos, and is propelled by the mind-blowing drumming of Bryan Pajardo"), characterized as an "unapologetic, ravenous and relentless grindcore attack that will surely appeal to fans of Napalm Death, Terrorizer and Phobia" by Scratch The Surface and, as Exclaim.ca insist, "with a straight-ahead growl/shriek vocal dynamic and crisp recording, this release is right at home next to the Willowtip or early Relapse catalogues," the album was recorded/mixed in spring/summer 2012 by Garry Brents at GAB Recordings and Mike BBQ at Big Door Studios, and mastered by Jack Control (World Burns to Death, Severed Head of State) at Enormous Door in Summer 2012. The album artwork comes courtesy of Daniel Shaw. The album features Bryan Fajardo (Phobia, Noisear, Kill the Client, Gridlink) on drums, and is poised to be the most vicious, neck-snappingly infectious grind record of 2013. You’ve been warned!

Devious Persecution and Wholesale Slaughter is the veteran grindfreaks’ third full-length and fourteenth overall release since their 1999 inception. Their discography stretches to include two LPs (Pulverizing Lethal Force in 2007 and Crushing Fury of Bastardization in 2008), a 7" ep (Swarming Industrial Cancer, 2003), two split LPs (with Germany’s Bizarre X in 2005, and California’s In Disgust in 2010), and nine (!) split 7" eps with a dizzying array of international bands, including Unholy Grave, Cyness, and Massgrave).



Since they came thrashing and howling into life, PLF have wrought havoc across the globe, sullying the stage at Maryland Death Fest i(2009/2010), Bloodshed Festival in the Netherlands (2008/2011), Obscene Extreme in the Czech Republic (2006), UGZ Speed Trials (2008 /2010), Etengabeko Zarata Festival in Spain’s Basque Country (2008), Rites of Darkness (2011), and Short, Fast and Loud Zine’s 10 year Anniversary Festival (2011) amongst others, and playing many hundreds of shows in clubs, warehouses, squats, houses, basements, open air stadiums, 'metal clubs', bars, parking lots, fields, pool halls, and garages across North America and Europe.

Devious Persecution and Wholesale Slaughter is now available on CD and LP, and saw an official release on February 8th. It can be purchased directly from Six Weeks Records (http://www.sixweeksrecords.com/) or from Independent Label Distribution (www.ildistro.com).

Looking forward to checking this out.

Besides Rotten Sound, playing with these doods in 26Beers practice was definitely a hilight.
