Hardcore punk band BIB have announced that their new EP, Biblical, is set for release on January 26th through Quality Control HQ. Frantic, expressive, noisy, raw, uncomfortable; that’s just the tip of describing the five songs that make up the record. Today, the band share two of those tracks, Two-Faced Planet and Bitter Mind, that can be streamed via Bandcamp along with an accompanying music video. Two-Faced Planet sticks to BIB‘s classic guttural approach, while Bitter Mind showcases more driven melodies, both intertwined with thumping rhythms. The video for the songs, directed, filmed, and edited by Emma Penrose and Zack Shorrosh, stems from a live performance into a mind-bending adventure
“‘Two-Faced Planet’ is about being born to the world of adversity and touches on thoughts of ‘Location Dysphoria’. When you simply feel guilty for existing, and how easily this world and reality we are born in can be cruel and feel as if all things are workings against you. Bitter Mind is song’ about higher thinking, searching deep inside your own self to free your mind.” (vocalist Nathan Ma)

Entering the studio with Arthur Rizk was a dream come true for BIB and allowed the band to get comfortable with experimenting. On Biblical, you’ll hear BIB‘s throat curling vocal delivery and noise-driven riffs, met with hooky rhythms. The tracks have a gritty feel, littered with grimey “bleghs” and a berserk urgency wrapped into lyrics that surround the ideas of life, death and the circle that it brings us through. Biblical is available for preorder on vinyl now through Quality Control HQ in North America, UK, Europe and digitally via Bandcamp.
