{"product_id":"barren-verderf-cd","title":"BARREN - Verderf CD *PRE-ORDER 25\/9\/2026*","description":"Belgian grind\/death unit is back with the second full length \"Verderf\". Relentless in output and execution, BARREN continue to sharpen their edge in the global extreme music landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormed in 2017, BARREN is a Belgian grindcore outfit featuring current and former members of Agathocles, Aborted, Emeth, and Suppository. Embracing the self-styled banner of “chainsaw grind,” the band channels the classic HM-2 buzzsaw tone of Swedish death metal to create a dense, crushing wall of guitar and bass. Fueled by relentless blastbeats and frenzied riffs, BARREN intersperses its sonic assault with eruptions of mid-tempo savagery and sharp, unpredictable tempo shifts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2020, BARREN recorded their first collection of songs at the Chainsaw Laboratory, later mixed and mastered at Hearse Studios. The band self-released a demo and two EPs in 2021—material that quickly caught the attention of Esagoya Records (JPN), who issued the songs on CD. That same year, Grand Vomit Productions (US) released a split CD with Berated. BARREN subsequently signed with Grindhead Records (AUS), leading to the release of their debut full-length album, I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout 2023, BARREN appeared on several notable compilations, including Good Guys Go Grind Vol. 2 and Noxious Ruin Magazine Vol. 8. Impressed by the band’s contribution, Noxious Ruin commissioned a split release with Germany’s Vomitspell. In 2024, Selfmadegod Records released a split CD\/LP pairing BARREN with Swedish grinders Sickrecy, receiving strong support from the international grindcore community. BARREN carried this momentum into 2025, releasing a split 10\" with Lesser Animal (USA) and later a 7\" split with Distaste (AT).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBARREN’s live assault has reached major festivals including Deathfeast Open Air (D), Grind After Death (UK), Grind the Nazi Scum (D), and the iconic Obscene Extreme (CZ), affirming their place among grindcore’s most promising acts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of FULL OF HELL, NASUM, NAILS, ROTTEN SOUND, TRAP THEM","brand":"SELFMADEGOD RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57279112347974,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/2300\/6790\/files\/acfc20a69a29217f7df27b56641a73da.jpg?v=1788702765","url":"https:\/\/selfmadegod-store.com\/pl\/products\/barren-verderf-cd","provider":"Selfmadegod Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
