In 2021 came their full-length debut,&nbsp;<em>Blood Delusions<\/em>, for the cult Headsplit Records. And while it&#8217;s been quiet on their front since then, MELTING ROT later linked up with HELLS HEADBANGERS for the&nbsp;<em>Cold Case Files<\/em>&nbsp;compilation, and now present their most punishing record yet:&nbsp;<em>Infatuation With Premeditation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Their second full-length,&nbsp;<em>Infatuation With Premeditation<\/em>&nbsp;is prime MELTING ROT taken to the penultimate extreme. Featuring 11 completely distinct tracks &#8211; a rarity, it must be said, in the grindcore world &#8211; this 18-minute whirlwind of filth &amp; fury is equal parts Dead Infection, Excruciating Terror, and 2000s Regurgitate. No more but definitely no less, MELTING ROT proudly fly the flag for all-caps GRINDCORE: D-beat to blast to stomp to repeat, mince as necessary, and sparing no amount of gutsfucking heaviness. Truly,&nbsp;<em>Infatuation With Premeditation<\/em>&nbsp;is as sharp as a scalpel blade and as effective as a sledgehammer, sluicing sickness set to stun &#8211; and actually&nbsp;<em>catchy<\/em>, like so much foundational grindcore and deathgrind. Suitably, Exhumed&#8217;s Matt Harvey contributes&nbsp;guest vocals on &#8220;Morbid Infatuation,&#8221; underlining the sort of sonic lineage to which MELTING ROT honorably belong.&nbsp;Canoes, leave the hall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Preorder info can be found&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop-hellsheadbangers.com\/item-group.asp?PgpID=40563\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>MORE INFO:<\/strong><strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellsheadbangers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.hellsheadbangers.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hellsheadbangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.facebook.com\/<wbr \/>hellsheadbangers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present MELTING ROT&#8217;s highly anticipated second dull-length studio release,\u00a0Infatuation With&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117319"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117322,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117319\/revisions\/117322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/117320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
