When it comes to ordering Chinese food lunch specials you’ve usually got three choices of soup to accompany your generic American-Chinese dish; wonton, egg drop, and hot and sour. When I was kid I was all about wonton soup and ordered it every time without fail. These days I’m usually an egg drop or hot and sour man; I like my egg drop with a little pepper in it, and presuming the hot and sour is actually both hot and sour it doesn’t need any doctoring at all. I am currently enjoying some wonton soup for the first time in a long time, though, and I gotta say, it’s pretty tasty! Don’t count those wontons out, my friends.

All of this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that War From A Harlot’s Mouth have posted a free stream and download of the new track “Recluse MMX.” I mean, uh, War From a Harlot’s Mouth are like the wonton soup of tech-deathcore… yeah, that’s it… this style of metal has been done plenty already but that doesn’t mean it still can’t be good from time to time. There; I started this post with the sole goal of talking about my chinese lunch soup preferences and I made a metaphor out of it that actually holds.

“Recluse MMX” comes from the band’s third album, MMX (that’s 2010 in Roman numerals), due November 19th via Lifeforce. Pre-order it here; wonton soup not included.
