Sydney’s Hardcore Heavyweights Arteries just dropped their sinister new offering ‘Under The Influence’ from their upcoming album ‘Outdoor Claustrophobic’ due for release on 16.04.2021. This bold release encapsulates the band’s unique syncopated instrumentation and modal choices that give rise to their signature raw and menacing soundscapes.

‘Under The Influence’ kicks off with a face-melting riff accentuated by a groove metal-esque drum and bass rhythm pattern that gets your first pumping. The verses strip right back to drum and bass passages interweaved with ominous synths but it’s Brendan Dafter vocals that send chills down your spine.  ‘Under the Influence’ maintains raw intensity with the maelstrom of djent riffs, brutal breakdowns and magnetic vocals which evoke the polished ferociousness of extreme metal legendaries such as Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Guitarist Braithe Selby explains “Under the influence has always been that song we always gravitate towards as a band. For us, it has everything, the hooks, the heavy and the epic. Early on in the writing process, ‘Under the Influence’ evolved into the template for the musical, thematic and overarching direction for producing the album ‘Outdoor Claustrophobic’ and is the feature track for the release. Expect more of a moody, mosh-driven and confrontational slice of arteries with this one. All in with bare blood-spattered skin for ‘Under the Influence'”

The Album ‘Outdoor Claustrophobic’ is available to Preorder in both digital and physical
