Empire State Bastard, the brutal new project from Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil and Mike Vennart, unleash their debut Rivers of Heresy on Roadrunner Records. Born from a shared love of extreme music, the album delivers a ferocious mix of grindcore, math-metal, stoner rock, and alt-metal chaos. With Slayer legend Dave Lombardo on drums, it’s an unrelenting, genre-smashing assault that lives up to the band’s uncompromising name.
