The Ram Permalink
Nashville, Tennessee hardcore/powerviolence duo THETAN delivers a new single from their impending second full-length, Abysmal, nearing release via Anti-Corporate Music next week. The brutalizing new single, "Put Out To Pasture," has been premiered through an exclusive at prime hardcore/punk blog No Echo alongside an interview with the band.
THETAN offers of the "Put Out To Pasture" track, "This was actually one of the last songs written for the album, lyrically. I struggled with content over this one for a few months before sitting down and putting pen to paper. The lyrics came all at once after a phone conversation with a close friend that perfectly encapsulated how two people who had once been so close could grow so far apart in such a short time. We live in very polarizing times, and nobody is safe from the fallout of drifting ideals."

No Echo declares of the Abysmal LP, "THETAN's choice of a moniker representing a human soul is distorted through their belligerence and repugnance. The grueling animus captured on tape here is confrontational and malicious. The songs here are brilliant in their brevity. Devastating riffs played with speed on low-tuned bass over spastic drums truly delivers eighteen blazing gems in seventeen minutes."
