AUSSIE metal five-piece Bateman have released their debut album SMUT as a free download.The album was self-produced and recorded by drummer Gareth Leach, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Converge, Nails) at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon.
On the decision to release the album for free, vocalist Gaz Williams told RealSoundsOK: "We made the choice to remove all barriers people may have accessing our music. SMUT is a statement of our personal bemusement at what people regard as the righteous way of life."
SMUT takes a more intense turn from the Melbourne group's 2012 debut EP Ultra Violence.
Bassist Joe Rullo said: "SMUT is a screwed up opus of nasty, sarcastic, relentless noise. It's something a little different, but fans of intense metal, heavy hardcore, and droney noise will feel right at home here."
Leach added: "We wanted the sound of the album to be natural and reflect how we sound live. We tried not to record too many takes, and I think we achieved that natural sound."
