We get so many (terrible) metal band press releases in our inbox it could be covered in digital entrails – but sometimes the wave of mediocre nu-metal bands opens up to reveal a treasure like Die Choking.

Philadelphia grind outfit Die Choking has been melting faces and busting skulls since the release of Jan 2014’s /. Consisting of current and former members of TFD, Cop Problem, Burden, the “grindish punkish” band has made waves with the subsequent release of // and last year’s ///.
This lead to a European tour and now (thankfully) a number of US dates including a stop at Gallery 5 on Oct. 23rd.
While we’ve got a few weeks till their show, we thought we’d share a new video the band dropped. Thankfully they sent us the brutal and terrifying video to get excited about.
“Dead Figurehead is a fuck-off to intolerance and pushes against the rising neofascism we are seeing in the US right now,” said the band in a statement sent to Clrvynt.
The band goes on to criticize the broad range of American politics, comparing them to the Nixon-era days of mass corruption and cover ups.
“The current candidacy has been an eye-opening mirror for Americans,” the said. “In the end, it seems elected politicians are frequently not the leaders we want or need. Unfortunately, they may be the leaders we deserve.”
