News: BROKEN CROSS: "C.O.T.E." By Rogue Metal/Hardcore Faction Streaming At No Echo; Preorders For Militant Misanthrope LP Posted

As Sweden's rogue metal/hardcore faction BROKEN CROSS prepares for the release of its second full-length album, Militant Misanthrope, the LP's first single has been deployed through an exclusive premiere of "C.O.T.E." at No Echo.

 

Recorded at Studio Underjord in Norrköping, Sweden (Vanhelgd, Year Of The Goat, Griftegård), and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust), Militant Misanthrope is completed with drawings inspired by the 1980s/90s anime style and werewolf folklore, created by Dwid Hellion (Integrity).

 

The creator of BROKEN CROSS offers with the new track debut.", "'C.O.T.E.' is an abbreviation for Cancer of the Earth, which is a metaphor for humankind. The lyrics deal with the cognitive dissonance that occurs when a person faces the mental battle between intuition and logic. The song is the second track off the new album, which I believe represents a new chapter for BROKEN CROSS in terms of both production and performance."

The brainchild of one Niklas Holm, also the creator of death metal outfit Extermination Temple,BROKEN CROSS has issued a wealth of singles and EPs since 2011, but it was the 2015-releasedThrough Light To Night debut LP which saw the outfit's tentacles writhe into the masses, surging with heavy inspiration from dark hardcore and punk influences, citing the likes of G.I.S.M. and Integrity. Following the path of the material found on the outfit's recently-issued split 7" with V.E.G.A.S.,BROKEN CROSS delivers its most searing material yet with Militant Misanthrope. The sound tone and quality of the new LP yields a heavily enriched sound which bears a vast difference to the earlier lo-fi recordings, with blazing elements of thrash metal heritage seeping its way into the boldly-produced album's nine new anthems.
