Howl Wage a War of “Attrition”

Axl proclaimed just the other day when Howl unveiled the sickly artwork for their new album Bloodlines that presumably we’d finally get to hear a full song from the album any day now, whatwith all the hyping up of this album we’ve been doing since we first heard last friggin’ March that Zeuss would be producing the record. That Axl is sure a smart guy, ’cause Howl dropped a lyric video for album track “Attrition” yesterday evening.

“Attrition” is a banger and a half and a great example of what Bloodlines has in store for y’all; that mix of sludge and straight up metal. The guitar work is definitely a lot more involved than on past Howl music, so it makes a lot of sense that frontman Vincent Hausman decided to hand off his guitar to a new cat. Dig:

Howl are playing our South by South Death show in Austin, TX next week, part of a larger spring tour all over the U.S. Bloodlines comes out on April 30th; order it here.
