Disfiguring The Goddess announce new album ‘Bloom’
DISFIGURING THE GODDESS have announced a brand new album!
The long‑running extreme metal project helmed by Cameron Argon (aka Big Chocolate) will release Bloom on July 31st via Seek & Strike Records. The record marks the first release from the band through the label and signals a pivotal new chapter for the project, described by Argon as an awakening and reinvention rather than a reinvention by compromise.
Speaking about the upcoming album, Argon shares, “Bloom is an album about accumulation, cultivation, and execution. There are a lot of themes running through it, both personal and sonic, but when I step back and look at the bigger picture, it symbolizes nurturing the seed of DTG until it finally blossoms. It is the beginning of a new chapter and the closing of an old one.”
Alongside the announcement, DISFIGURING THE GODDESS have unveiled the album’s first single Low Slam Low. Commenting on the new single, Argon states, “Low Slam Low is one of the most brutal and relentless songs on the album. It was written with a very intentional slam-focused mindset, shifting between blast beats and crushing slams that gradually morph into slower, heavier forms of themselves. A huge part of the song’s character comes from the guitar tone. I tracked it with my Gretsch Baritone tuned extremely low, and what I love about that instrument is how much body and texture it carries. On parts of this song, the guitar stops feeling like a traditional riff instrument and starts becoming more like a wall of physical texture, with the notes nearly disappearing under the weight of the tone. When the bridge hits, that is where the actual voice of the guitar comes through more clearly. The whole track is also surrounded by creepy sound design that keeps shadowing the brutality and pushing the atmosphere further. Lyrically, it is one of my favorite songs on the record because of how strange and personal it feels. There is a moment in it where I am talking about being completely alone with my thoughts, while at the same time the opening of My Girl by THE TEMPTATIONS is looping in my head. That contrast captures something I really love about the song. To me, it feels like a unique contribution not only to this album, but to the more brutal and slam-oriented side of heavy music right now.”
Argon also reflects on the significance of the new album and label partnership, “partnering with Seek & Strike marks a natural and timely evolution for DISFIGURING THE GODDESS. As the working title became official, Bloom took on a deeper symbolic weight. It represents DTG awakening from a long slumber to become what it was always intended to be. I see myself as the firekeeper for that vision, and Seek & Strike arrived at the perfect moment to add the energy and momentum needed for this next stage.”
