The band deal with nihilism yet remain addictively fun. Their music is equal parts sludge and thrash, noise and riff-loaded rock. ‘High Anxiety’ is an unabashed mocking of the madness of modern living, its chemical induced adventures and establishment absurdity, deriding the industrial complex behind established institutions such as NASA while savaging those who deny science. Oozing Wound on ‘High Anxiety’ are nihilistic pied pipers making us laugh our way to the apocalypse. The album finds guitarist and vocalist Zack Weil, drummer Kyle Reynolds and bassist Kevin Cribbin blending their ferocious energy, sonic experiments and blunt lyricism for a pummelling enjoyable headbanger with an irresistible sneer. On ‘High Anxiety’, Oozing Wound’s songs have become more complex, their attacks more ferocious, and bass and guitar lines more captivating. The album was recorded in four days at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio. The trio ripped through live-tracking and overdubs, leaving space to experiment with new sounds and effects. The band, having an affinity for the complexities of prog music, managed to bring prog elements to ‘High Anxiety’ without sacrificing any of their songs’ punch. Subtle layers of saxophone, flutes and synths were blended into guitar tones, adding depth and texture without cluttering arrangements. Fist-pumping blasts of whitehot riffing become a Trojan horse for sonic weirdness. The resulting recordings are at once some of their most sonically rich, immediate, and impactful. LP pressed on virgin vinyl with an artworked inner sleeve and free download card. Also available on Nuclear Waste Green coloured vinyl. “Oozing Wound exude an attitude that immediately distinguishes them from the music they reference.” – Pitchfork “If you’re a fan of thrash metal, check this out. If you’re a fan of intense, aggressive thrash metal with sections seemingly pulled out of a sonic hat, check this out.” – Post Thrash “Inside jokes and faux bravado aside, they’re also sophisticated songwriters, with a keen ear for melody and a daredevil approach to odd meters, feedback, and noise.” – Premier Guitar Artist Oozing Wound Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Surrounded By Fucking Idiots Filth Chisel Tween Shitbag Die On Mars Birth of a Flat Earther Riding the Universe Vein Ripper Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Oozing Wound and more from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Oozing Wound High Anxiety Metal / Classic Rock | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oozing Wound High Anxiety £19.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL473LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Puppy Pure Evil Metal / Classic Rock | Rude Records | 1LP Released 10th February 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Puppy Pure Evil £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Rude Records SKU: RDR2381 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Health Rat Wars Metal / Classic Rock | Concord | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th February 2024 £26.00 Select options Health Rat Wars £26.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Concord Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Kvelertak Splid Metal / Classic Rock | Rise Records | 1LP, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th February 2020 £23.00 Select options Kvelertak Splid £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Rise Records Formats: 1LP, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th February 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Iron Maiden Can I Play With Madness Metal / Classic Rock | Parlophone | 7", Single Released 24th November 2014 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iron Maiden Can I Play With Madness £7.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Parlophone SKU: 2564624847 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 24th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Autobahn The Moral Crossing – Indies Only Metal / Classic Rock | Tough Love | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Autobahn The Moral Crossing – Indies Only £19.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Tough Love SKU: TLV105LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Disturbed Divisive Metal / Classic Rock | Reprise | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th November 2022 £33.00 - £36.00 Select options Disturbed Divisive £33.00 - £36.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Reprise Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Fear Factory Genexus Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 2LP Released 7th August 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fear Factory Genexus £16.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: NB34471 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Austin Meade Black Sheep Metal / Classic Rock | Snakefarm | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Austin Meade Black Sheep £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Snakefarm SKU: SNAKE513352 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Voivod Dimension Hatröss Metal / Classic Rock | Noise Records | 1LP Released 28th April 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Voivod Dimension Hatröss £19.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Noise Records SKU: 4050538214567 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Metallica The $5.98 E.P. – Garage Days Revisited Metal / Classic Rock | Blackened Recordings | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 13th April 2018 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Metallica The $5.98 E.P. – Garage Days Revisited £14.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Blackened Recordings SKU: 6727200 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Metal / Classic Rock Start again
