So Pitted – “Parasite”

So Pitted promise a freak future for noise rock that we deserve by getting weird with today’s morbid fascination of ’90s nü-metal, the ADHD pop experimentation of 100 gecs, as well as the bludgeoning of bands like Chat Pile and METZ. With “Parasite”, the Seattle four-piece of Nathan Rodriguez, Liam Downey, Jagger Beato, and Lauren Rodriguez introduce their forthcoming sophomore effort, Cloned, as a fusion of all of these offbeat energies through their own uncanny mutation of heavy rock turned up loud, panicked, and delivering devastation without seeping too far below a crustier murk of production nor overly shellacked on the surface as Downey’s vocals buckle over the radiation emitted from it all. “Everything’s dead / Already dead,” he repeats. There’s no stopping the internal decay once the alien vibrations of So Pitted are inside of you.
