Made up of lead guitarist Joshua Bokemeyer, drummer Dwane Allen, bassist Travis Andrews, and guitarist\/vocalist Dustin James, CHURCH OF DISGUST unleashed two demo tapes before releasing their debut full-length, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnworldly Summoning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, in 2014 via Spain's Memento Mori Records. The next year saw the release of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDread Ritual\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e EP on Headsplit Records (tape) and Craneo Negro Records (Mexico). In 2016, the band released \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVeneration of Filth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ( in multiple formats via Memento Mori Records, Headsplit Records, and later Maggot Stomp\/Sunken Tomb Records), which quickly began making waves in the underground. In the years to follow, the band focused on touring more and making some memorable festival appearances before releasing the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConsumed by Slow Putrefaction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e EP on Maggot Stomp Records in 2020. These three hymns of crushing swamp sickness proved them to be heavier and with more refined songwriting, ignoring trends and staying true to their vision of death metal the way it was meant to be played.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow aligned with HELLS HEADBANGERS, 2022 will bring total death, as CHURCH OF DISGUST will be releasing their third album, and first for the label: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeakest is the Flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. Continuing the momentum of their preceding EP, these Gulf Coast death metal fiends deliver their catchiest and most crushing record yet with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeakest is the Flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. The formula is almost deceptively simple: immediately memorable songwriting that doesn't insult the listener's intelligence with over-simplicity nor try to impress with needless technicality, and delivered with impassioned execution and clear-yet-powerful production. It's \"old school\" only in the sense of honoring the power of THE RIFF (as well as well-timed divebombing solos!) and otherwise doesn't pander to the usual retro-posturing cliches. As such, CHURCH OF DISGUST here variously nod to classic CIANIDE, Gorefest, Cancer, Pentacle, Opprobrium, and even Napalm Death's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarmony Corruption\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e but never for too long nor too obviously; their charisma and personality bleed through everything, above all. And \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeakest is the Flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e's 41 minutes just fly by like that, lodging firmly in the cranium but compelling the listener to press \"play\" repeatedly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeaturing eight tracks of ungodly heaviness and the most efficient songwriting around (and a haunting interlude and outro), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeakest is the Flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is undoubtedly CHURCH OF DIGUST's strongest statement to date.
