Escuela Grind have just released the first single from their upcoming second album – the follow-up to 2022 debut Memory Theater.
The rising grindcore gang – vocalist Katerina Economou, guitarist Kris Morash, bassist Justin Altamirano and drummer Jesse Fuentes – tease that new tune Turbulence is a “departure” from what we’ve come to expect in the past, with the band having been inspired to create some more “catchy” moments in their music while on tour.
“It will be immediately obvious when you first hear this song that it is a departure for us,” explains Katerina. “We wanted to take a risk with Turbulence, and after performing so many live shows over the last year we were ready to compile all that influence.
“The clean singing may take some people off-guard coming from a grind/hardcore band, but after touring with Napalm Death, we realised we wanted to incorporate that aspect into our music in a similar way. We definitely wanted a grungy, catchy chorus to sing at all of our upcoming festival appearances, and I hope the fans like the song as much as we do.”
Turbulence is taken from Escuela Grind’s new album Dreams On Algorithms, which is due out on October 18 via MNRK Heavy.
