***Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean is a blackened/death/doom metal band based out of Western Massachusetts. Sisyphean Cruelty is the band's second full-length coming on the heels of last year's two sold out releases: the LP Obsession Destruction and the EP Consumed by the Vitriol of Life. Sisyphean Cruelty is an eight song LP. This full length finds the band at their rawest and most intense, covered in riffs that harken 90s death metal while mixing seamlessly with their already existing doom DNA. This also finds the band producing their first music video, directed by Jamie Eubanks from the band Knoll. Since the last LP Chained... has toured both coasts of the US and Canada both headlining shows and supporting bands including tours with Sumac and The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Having played the first Prepare the Ground Fest in Toronto, Chained... are set to play the inaugural fest hosted by The Acacia Strain as well as next year's Maryland Deathfest. Recorded and mixed by Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets. Records pressed at Burlington Record Plant.
