MAMMOTH GRINDER TO RELEASE CD ON RELAPSE, GO ON TOUR NEXT YEAR

Relapse Records announced it will publish Mammoth Grinder's album Extinction of Humanity in CD and digital formats December 8. The Austin threesome released the album on vinyl and tape earlier this year. For those of you with a vinyl fetish (like us), you can still buy the wax through Cyclopean Records, who also released an album by our other favorite Austin band, Iron Age. Pre-order the CD here.

This year, Relapse also published Weekend Nachos's previously-vinyl-only album on CD. Here is a label that knows good music! It's good to know that Mammoth Grinder, our favorite charging, sludgy death dealers, are receiving nation-wide recognition. It helps that they're going on tour next year, and trust us when we say that their live show is not to be missed.
