200 Stab Wounds will release «Lowest Form» on 19 February 2027 via Metal Blade Records, previewed by «Pangs Of Conscience».
It’s eight tracks, from that same opener «Pangs Of Conscience» through to closer «Punishment Eternal». Arthur Rizk handled the whole process — production, mixing and mastering — the same engineer who’s worked with Power Trip and Cavalera, and the cover art is by James Bousema, who’s done covers for Municipal Waste and Frozen Soul.
The Cleveland band is Steve Buhl on vocals and guitar, Raymond Macdonald on the other guitar, Todd Thompson on bass and Owen Pooley on drums. «We’ve worked harder on this record than on anything else in our lives,» they say.
The record follows «Manual Manic Procedures». Between January and March 2027 they’ll tour Europe with Whitechapel, Sylosis and Tribal Gaze.
