Benighted release new song ‘The Spineless Freak’

BENIGHTED have released a brand new single!

The French deathgrind band have unveiled The Spineless Freak, a standalone track that introduces the band’s new drummer, Matthias Biechler, and marks their first new music since last year’s Ekbom. The new single was recorded at Kohlekeller Studio under the engineering of Kristian Kohlmannslehner.

Speaking about joining the band, Matthias says, “[…] it’s an honor for me to join BENIGHTED behind the drums. This very band gave me the motivation five years ago to push myself and truly work hard on this instrument, so joining them today as my first band as a drummer is beyond anything I ever imagined. I’ll give everything I have to live up to the name and unleash all the violence you love so much. Thank you for your welcome and your support, I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!”

Vocalist Julien Truchan adds, “the whole story is pretty incredible. As we were casting other drummers, I got a message from my friend Eugene of FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE who told me he has a student in Paris who learns incredibly fast and that I should contact him. Matthias came for the casting last July and he just amazed us playing our fastest songs impeccably. He is only 22, plays drums for four years and we’re officially his very first band as a drummer! I can’t even imagine his level in two or three years… He is at the same time a machine and the nicest guy you can find. We’re so happy to welcome him in the band!”
