Squid Pisser features members of GWAR, Duck Duck Goose & Starcrawler.
“THROAT SLAVE” marks a significant evolution for SQUID PISSER. While retaining the band's volatility and sonic intensity, the material reveals a broader emotional range. Groove, atmosphere, and dynamic tension play a larger role than ever before, creating space for the band's most immersive and fully realized work to date.
"Throat Slave" also represents the first SQUID PISSER release to prominently feature the creative contributions of guitarists Michael Armendariz and Raz Azraai, whose songwriting and performances help expand the band's sonic vocabulary while preserving its uniquely unstable identity.
Side A unfolds through five compositions that navigate paranoia, confrontation, self-examination, and release. Beneath the record's recurring imagery of vermin, tumorous growths, leeches, and bodily decay lies a more universal struggle: reclaiming one's identity from manipulation, illusion, and the stories imposed by others. THROAT SLAVE is ultimately a record about emergence - about recognizing uncomfortable truths and finding clarity in their wake.
If Side A documents the organism, Side B documents its mutation.
Remix artists, including queer-cult icon PLACK BLAGUE, minimalistic noise-pop duo HYPER GAL, DRUMCORPS, FARTBARF, Ecology: HomeStones, and dj Embryonic Petit Sac, dismantle and reconstruct the original material into electronic hallucinations, industrial rituals, mutant dance music, and psychedelic fever dreams. Rather than functioning as bonus material, the remixes operate as a second act, transforming familiar themes into entirely new forms.
Accompanied by the luminous and deeply unsettling artwork of Bora Murmure, THROAT SLAVE occupies a space somewhere between nightmare and revelation. Like the glowing figure depicted on its cover, the record emerges from darkness transformed - beautiful, disturbing, and impossible to fully explain.
