    Released by Tomb Tree Tapes in a limited run of 25: "Soaked in feedback and cathartic screams, Philadephia’s GRIP have revealed themselves as a force to be reckoned with, as their brand of black-metal and experimental hardcore are a welcomed dance of styles. Released on Tomb Tree Tapes.”Early Iteration draws upon a mythic structure to deliver a multifaceted narrative addressing sacrifice, belief, and the evolution of an idea. The music acts as a violent vehicle, bleak and begrudging, running with the narrative, offering only occasional and misleading respite. It fires harsh and tangential melodies rapidly, rarely breaking sequence, dragging itself towards an inevitable, explosive end"

lyrics

Conception

Multiplied, the healed want more, looking outwards and beyond
The healers tell of a projected vessel imbued with accomplish,
The proclaimed essence of the observer

The congregate, preach and seek
Begetting praise upon praise

The concrete accomplishment of health and stasis
Surely the observer bestowed challenge for the sake of redemption
First the beast, then illness, bested by the becoming
Ascending and becoming their fate, the destined favorite

Amidst the congregation of the commended
The woman, descendant of the first hunter, seeming lowly and haggard,
Holds within her womb a fortune, the object of desire
A bearing of divine prophecy, an announcement from the observer

The healers call to the healed demanding accommodation for the emerging
Calling for artifacts
Calling for monuments
Calling for shrines and dedication
A hope for further ascension
A being of divine knowledge
The seer of all
The sacred one, testament of the observer
Sign of divine right
