It is four minutes of Hardcore that peels the skin off your face.

It is four minutes of Hardcore that peels the skin off your face.

The Idaho Falls-based Outlet is unrelenting in their musical execution. Though they have been absent since the release of their 2009 EP, Broken is the Man; Vital Are the Missing Parts, they have been quietly gaining momentum behind the scenes. The metallic Hardcore quintet has been lying in wait, building, and growing their uncompromising sound. This September will see their efforts culminate in their newest EP, Memento Mori, a crushing, 6-song release filled to the brim with exercises in the complexities of the human psyche and the futility of existence.

Outlet - Memento Mori

We at Metal Injection were fortunate to be given the opportunity to premiere a track from Outlet's Memento Mori. The EP's second track, "Battle of the Somme". Clocking in at four minutes long, it opens with a Hatebreed-style riff that ultimately breaks into a mid-tempo blast that blends certain elements of Death Metal and Punk seamlessly, similar to Xibalba. Andrew Gomez IV's caustic vocals spill out from a clap of percussive thunder and a three-headed monster of guitars and bass provided by Drew Davenport, Nic Christensen, Tanner Pond, and Rodney Bennett, respectively.

Memento Mori will be officially released on September 23rd through Glory Kid Ltd. Today's premiere also marks the beginning of pre-orders for the new EP, which can be found at Glory Kid Ltd.'s website. A previous track from Memento Mori has also been featured. You can listen to "Mortal Coil" over at New Noise MagazineOutlet is also doing some show dates to promote their new release.
