Later in the month the band will play The Elbo Room in Oakland with labelmates Kicker and Alone. Additional live abrasions are in the plotting stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BRAINOIL&nbsp;<\/strong>released their long-anticipated&nbsp;<em>Singularity To Extinction&nbsp;<\/em>full-length last fall via Tankcrimes. Their first output since 2011\u2019s punishing<em>&nbsp;Death Of This Dry Season&nbsp;<\/em>was captured at Earhammer Studios by bassist\/vocalist Greg Wilkinson (Deathgrave, ex-Laudanum, ex-Graves At Sea), mastered at Audisiege by Brad Boatright (Tragedy, Necrot), and offers up seven ravenous hymns of gnarly audio antagonism all swathed in the apocalyptic cover art of John Santos (Torche, Neurosis, Irata, Noisear). Infusing their signature sludge with unorthodox time signatures,&nbsp;<em>Singularity To Extinction&nbsp;<\/em>stands as&nbsp;<strong>BRAINOIL<\/strong>\u2019s fastest, crustiest, and most monolithic offering to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Singularity To Extinction&nbsp;<\/em>is available on CD, limited LP, and digital formats via Tankcrimes.
