Known throughout the avant-metal scene for his exploratory guitar work and emotive death metal vocals, Garett Bussanick has been honing his craft in several distinct bands since the 1990s. Bussanick is most widely known for his current band, Aeviterne, whose latest release on Profound Lore Records has been described by Stereogum as "ominous and malevolent... also hooky as hell."

Sire Languish reveals Bussanick as a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, with the Pull to God release being his drumming debut.

Decibel Magazine's Tim Mudd reports: "Sometimes a solo project lands sounding exactly like the person who made it—every contour, every impulse, every shadow unmistakably theirs. Sire Languish, the new project from avant-metal lifer Garett Bussanick, is one of those rare cases. “Solo project” isn’t even the right phrase. This is Bussanick unfiltered: vocals, guitars, synths, bass, and—for the first time in three decades of recorded work—drums. If you’re familiar with Bussanick’s body of work—Aeviterne’s eruptive dissonance, Flourishing’s cerebral churn, even the long-buried mutations of Cardiovascular Sub-Hypothermia—you’ll recognize the DNA. But Sire Languish is its own creature. The architecture is leaner, the melodic angles sharper, the rhythmic pulse more direct. The rep nailed it: imagine a convergence of Immolation’s tectonic lurch and Killing Joke’s apocalyptic propulsion, rendered with the nervous-system precision Bussanick’s become known for."

Pull to God was recorded and mixed by Ryan Jones (Mutilation Rites, Body Stuff), and mastered by Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts).
