CASKET BLASTER / KNIFETHRUHEAD SPLIT SEVEN INCH

Casket Blaster is a Death/Grind band that started back in ’98 when the band formed in San Jose, CA and called themselves, Dead Syndicate. Years of playing together and loss of key members to the Dead Syndicate sound lead to the birth of a different approach. The new sound of the material, while similar in aggression and technical playability, was significantly different, which brought forth the change of the band name to Casket Blaster. They continue to write material influenced by booze, zombies, hookers, booze, mutants, etc. and fuck up all kinds of shit around the San Francisco bay area. This will be their first official release. You can learn more about Casket Blaster by visiting www.myspace.com/casketblaster

Knifethruhead is a 6-Piece Grindcore/Punk band from Sacramento, CA, USA. Their unique sound simply cannot be categorized (because of their unconventional use of a Saxophone) and their live performance is always comedic, weird and/or offensive. They have been recording and performing with the same members since 1998 (12 years!) and have released 3 solo 7 inch records and splits with Straight Edge Kegger, Slapendehonden, Mr California and more. KTH has five new releases scheduled for the near future including this one (of course), a split with Iron Butter, Maggot Colony Split CD/LP (currently recording), Solo CD/LP (currently recording) and a CD Compilation documenting their past 7 inch, Demo and Compilation appearances.
