Fractured, a mind body torn soul banished and taken sunken, frozen Body left grounded Possessing Undead obsession, compulsive and fixed Sinewed tether tugging, pulling Calling down Arterial pulsing, starving for synergy Descending with chains past binding Lead by stiffening flesh, dependent on the absent other Cackling roars echo Close taunting of a pathetic husk Abomination crows fat and plenty, Distorted, equipped with serpentine necks, Gummed mouth grinning seeking red mess between bested ribs Molesting tattered muscle, unknowing nerves Dismantling the structure, pulpy, now acrid Distant calls still pleading remedy Cold hands pry greased feathered faces Snickering while blocking and teasing whimpering digits A chain choke splintered dead bone Flaying outer flesh, spilling, bursting Falling coldly, falling fast, swallowed into the depths Meeting ground undulating Crimson crystals breathing from a sopping floor A blue essence folding like a veiled breeze Incorporeal, vaporous, blind Backing out of grasp A body, obsolete, crawling A shade, repulsed yet ponderous Sprouted tendrils drag a body out of presence Evaporating, a shade clings to the cold, bleating air, Impression both distilled and spread Eyes streaming furious, broken, swept Infinite reeling, a descent, forever lost Falling a spectre fated without disinterested return Falling a body compelled however false

A defeated struggler fallen Sands blowin and spilled, clogging further function An autonomous course curbed to eternal stasis Crow’s beaks succeed in breeching incantation, whispering flesh undone Worm’s burrow, take and disperse And flies spew their transforming fluid Fungus gladly grasps the rest, speaking spores throughout the once desolate plane life sprouts from the sands and lines the joints, eating the cartilage The bones expand, taking new shape, unrecognizable from the origin, the frame Vertebral buttresses hover Vein vines hang, tangled in umbilical strands Pours organize in complex symmetries Arms erect in columnal opposition a flame flickers in its frame, projecting the negative space The places between, the uncovered shape in itself The inhabiting, puppets, cascading in incomprehensible non-pattern, blissfully humble A haze of blue finds its new shelter, becoming the canopy

about

Philadelphia-based Experimental Skramz* band, GRIP, debuts their final EP: “Structure” on November 3, 2022. The release follows their 2019 album: “Early Iteration”, which saw them leaning into both sludge and prog influences. “Structure”, largely self-recorded in 2020 and 2022, emphasizes the group’s persistence, willingness to experiment, and increasing ambition.

The EP’s narrative follows a transfigurative journey through descent, disorientation and eventual physical re-appropriation, echoed by frequent stylistic twists and dynamic passages.

The project was self-recorded, with the exception of drums, which were recorded at Studio 1935 and Midley Grange, between 2020 and 2022 and sent to Anthony Stublek (producer of Circle Takes the Square) for mixing and mastering.

GRIP formed in 2014 with an extreme interest in melding together each members artistic and musical influences, featuring Alex McGady on guitar and vocals, Dan Brightcliffe on bass, and their newest member Nick Dellosa on drums.

Despite “Structure” marking the end of GRIP, Alex, Dan and Nick will continue collaborating in pursuit of greater creative achievement under the moniker “Eternal Man”.
