A New York outfit occupying the furthest reaches of slam and brutal death metal, Mnemonic Wetbrain Syndrome have been piling on low-tuned, guttural punishment since 2008.

Utica, New York band formed in 2013 specializing in slam and brutal death metal with deathcore elements, known for bone-crushing low-tuned riffs and guttural vocal extremity.
