KNOW//SUFFER + The Pit


KNOW//SUFFER: new EP "The Great Dying" now streaming via The Pit; "Gojiran guitar dynamics and old-school hardcore unpredictability"

Know//Suffer has teamed up with The Pit to premiere new EP The Great Dying, just ahead of its July 30th release on Silent Pendulum Records.


From El Paso, Texas, Know//Suffer wields a dark strain of death metal-infused hardcore, fronted by a poetic lyricist who rejects all tough-guy expectations; mosh pit terror meets heart-on-sleeve vulnerability, as if the brute force of Code Orange and the emotional depth of Burn were united under one Texas roof. Theirs is a unique blend of modern metallic riffage and genuine, stripped-down feeling.

The Pit's Chris Krovatin writes: "On their new EP The Great Dying, Know//Suffer contort their unique sound in ways that no other band could... The band are never typical or by-the-numbers; the songs on the EP are dotted with enough Gojiran guitar dynamics and old-school hardcore unpredictability that they’re perpetually ominous and exciting."

A recent review from The Quietus states: “Bludgeoning grooves… feeling like Xibalba with Meshuggah’s guitar tone.”
