Seattle math-grind duo Pound reveals brand new music

Marrying the chaos of bands like The Locust, with the galaxy-sized grooves of Meshuggah, Seattle duo Pound whips up a wholly original racket that is both head-scratchingly complex and sock-you-in-the-gut heavy.

Consisting of only two members – guitarist Ryan Schutte and drummer David Stickney – the duo uses gear that is as unique as its sound. Schutte plays a baritone 9-string guitar and Stickney plays two drumkits, positioned at a 90-degree angle. In the absence of other instruments, the listener can fully absorb every detail of the duo's playing. Both musicians play as though their instruments are literally their voices!

Titled simply with two dots, Pound's upcoming second album is a tour-de-force that makes entirely new magic out of the formulas put forth on 2018's self-titled debut. Out May 31st on Silent Pendulum Records, •• was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage) at Flatline Audio in Denver, Colorado.

Today the band is sharing with us a second single and music video to to the track "x_–__–_x_–._–_x_–_–". Just exclusively premiered on Invisible Oranges, you can now listen to Pound's new single right HERE!
