Stoked we can finally announce the new CARTILAGE opus 'Operating Altar'! At St. Petersen’s University Hospital, nightmares become coursework and 'Operating Altar' is the soundtrack to those horrors! CARTILAGE channel Matthew Krolmark’s descent into medical madness with a single, sprawling Deathgrind opus: faster than a panicked heartbeat, sharper than Dr. Warwick Locke’s questionable scalpel, and dripping with enough gore to violate several ethical boards. A grand‑guignolesque blood ritual disguised as an album, ready to carve its way through the living, the dead, and anyone foolish enough to listen without anesthesia! 'The Operating Altar' is the first single off the upcoming new eponymous album.
"With this album, we sought to compose one large piece instead of simply a collection of songs. We’ve combined more influences from the likes of both brutal death metal and classic heavy metal, yet we pushed ourselves to faster tempos that we’ve never done before. Operating Altar is uniquely formulated to leave your ears bleeding with pleasure, our Maggot O-Pus if you will!” (Mike Flory)
