French BENIGHTED will be streaming their upcoming new full length “Obscene Repressed” in its entirety via the official Season Of Mist YouTube channel at 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT. The album will be released through the label tomorrow. Drummer Kevin Paradis commented on the stream as follows: “It’s with a lot of pride and excitment that we share this album with you! We can’t wait to have some feedback on our work, and I hope our music will bring you some brutal hours during these difficult times! As drummer of the band since their last EP, I have tried to bring some lightening fast blast beat and double bass drum, some groovy beats, intricate fills and polyrhythms, but all of this with a Punk spirit mandatory to BENIGHTED Brutal Death Metal / Grindcore spirit! Anyway, I’ve found in these new songs some of the best guitar riffs I ever had to drum on, and I hope you will like them as much as I do, not to mention the unique vocals of our dear Julien. Let’s wish him a good recovery!” You can follow the band for regular updates at www.facebook.com/brutalbenighted
