“Immortal Pain is literally all mosh fuel…just riff after riff after riff with vocalist Hugo’s gruff bark pushed right into the listener’s face out front.” – Distorted Sound
“Mosh parts are plentiful and bounce is in abundance, the energy clearly created to incite mosh pit violence.” – Metal Noise
“Uncompromising from the get-go, Immortal Pain is downright vicious and ugly.” – V13
Punishing and destructive, French hardcore band Worst Doubt are taking no prisoners on their new EP, Immortal Pain, out today on DAZE and BDHW (Europe). Taking influence from bands like Merauder, Suffocation, and King Nine, Worst Doubt have been creating brutal, metallic hardcore for ten years. Following a demo and the 2021 full-length Extinction, Immortal Pain finds the band building on a rawer sound wit the help of Maxime Smadka at Chateau Vergogne and mixing / mastering from Cody Davidson (Sanguisugabogg). It’s five tracks encompassing the roughness of life and how to deal with it, learning to live in acceptance with pain to make life more bearable.
On writing the EP, the band stated:
“The songs are more metallish than Extinction or our earlier material, so we wanted to try a more straightforward approach to the recording. Expect zero mid guitar tone, no fancy reverb on vocals, just a rawer sound. We pretty much approached the recording session as ‘let’s make a glorified Death Metal demo.’”
Immortal Pain is available on vinyl through DAZE and can be streamed HERE and on Bandcamp.
