VIRGIN MOTHER - "Blossoming Winter"

VIRGIN MOTHER: meth. frontman Seb Alvarez drops haunting new single from noise-rock solo project

Flood Magazine has debuted “Blossoming Winter,” the new single from Seb Alvarez’ solo project, Virgin Mother.

Sonic Youth meets Converge in Alvarez’ moody, murky, thunderous version of noise-rock, inspired by his experiences with mental illness and addiction.

Flood reports: “For over half a decade now, Seb Alvarez’s noisecore sextet meth. have been terrorizing Chicago’s metal and hardcore scenes by gigging their haunting atmospherics building up to extreme experiments in everything from screamo to grindcore to industrial metal… In spite of its drastically reduced lineup, the early samples of the [Virgin Mother] record harness the same terror-inducing soundscapes meth. deals in. The latest cut ‘Blossoming Winter’ provides a heavily layered and brutally warped assault against the senses…”
