Escuela Grind have announced their third and final genre-specific EP.

The quartet will be diving into all things death metal with the aptly-titled DDEEAATTHHMMEETTAALL, which is due out on January 12, 2024 via MNRK Heavy.

The release follows PPOOWWEERRVVIIOOLLEENNCCEE and GGRRIINNDDCCOORREE, and as vocalist Katerina Economou explains, it’s the “third instalment of our EP series where we dive into the genres that most influence this band”.

“Finishing this trilogy has been years in the works,” Katerina continues. “We are so excited to release these songs as they are perhaps the best reflection of our live performance. The stage has honed these hectic songs to perfection. Originally we were going to have three songs on this EP, but we wanted to create another track that had a huge build-up. This eventually developed into this brutal song, Ball And Chain, that marks the point in our live shows where we have a wall of death every night. Lyrically, it references death metal tropes of murder and revenge, but with a decidedly feminine angle.”

Escuela Grind have already released Meat Magnet featuring Napalm Death’s Barney Greenway, so check out aforementioned newbie Ball And Chain below now.
