GREAT FALLS: Presenting the LP "The Bite That Grows Up" – album out Friday!

The forty-minute The Bite That Grows Up once again showcases why GREAT FALLS is revered as one of the heaviest bands in the American Pacific Northwest. The band’s sludge-meets-hardcore brutality is tinged with hues of emotional post-metal, scathing noise dirges, crushing percussive attacks, and an all-encompassing low-end tone that obliterates everything within earshot on The Bite That Grows Up.

Joining the trio of guitarist/vocalist Demian Johnston, bassist Shane Mehling, and drummer/vocalist Nickolis Parks, The Bite That Grows Up is infiltrated with additional instrumentation by frequent collaborator John Schork (Half Majesty), and the lead single “Nicotine In The Spine” features additional vocals by Peter Clement Lund, the late guitarist/vocalist of Danish band and GREAT FALLS tourmates Kollapse, who tragically passed away a few weeks after tracking these vocals. The album was engineered by Scott Evans (Neurosis, Sumac, Shearling) at Studio Litho – owned by Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam – mixed by Evans at Antisleep, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Nails, Obituary, Deadguy), and completed with photography by Mitchell Wojcik and illustration and design by Demian Johnston.

The band reveals, “We recorded this without playing any of the songs live first and were really worried how people would respond to them. But we’ve finally had a chance to play almost all of the record in front of crowds, and they seem to be coming off how we hoped: anxious, desperate and heartbroken.”

The Bite That Grows Up will be released on LP – Neon Orange, Mustard, and Black/Gold Burst Splatter variants – as well as CD and Digital formats this Friday, October 16th. Preorders for all formats and merch are live at through Neurot Recordings HERE.
