Returning from a period of intense and concentrated seclusion in its purest form, US metalcore outfit WRISTMEETRAZOR made their return in 2024.
Their line-up went through a metamorphosis with Justin Fornhof abdicating his role on bass in favour of lead vocals - bringing Elaine Dalton (bass) and Nate Billmyer (guitar) to the fold in the process.
Whilst there are still traces of WRISTMEETRAZOR's established world of Nietzchian philosophy and twisted romanticism, Fornhof found himself gravitating towards themes of misanthropy, apoplexy, and moral, political and religious hypocrisy within society.
With WRISTMEETRAZOR's ire pointed outwards rather than inwards, societal degeneration is explored through allegorical tales of mechanical decline and system failure that pull together to reveal a larger picture of the band's disdain for humankind's more repulsive traits, set against deftly woven industrial and EBM influences with groove based nu-metal flourishes at the fore.
