Led by Power Trip drummer Chris Ulsh on bass and vocals, Mammoth Grinder pound out thundering death metal with a feverish punk attitude. For the band\'s fourth album, Ulsh enlists the talents of Iron Reagan members Ryan Parrish (drums) and Mark Bronzino (guitars), who bring unbridled fury and ripping riffs to the likes of \"Grimmenstein,\" \"Blazing Burst,\" and \"Locust\'s Nest.\" The power trio slow things down—briefly—on the churning \"Human Is Obsolete\" and the doom-laden \"Mysticism\" before kicking back into maximum overdrive.

Underground extreme metal trio MAMMOTH GRINDER return after five long years with their fourth full-length Cosmic Crypt, a non-stop, meteoric force of aggression and mayhem. Self-recorded by the band at Trax East in South River, NJ, mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Sepultura, Inquisition) and mastered by Toxic Holocaust’s Joel Grind, Cosmic Crypt is an 11 track slab of primitive, punk-inflected death metal. Frontman Chris Ulsh (Power Trip, Impalers) recruited Mark Bronzino (Iron Reagan) and Ryan Parrish (Iron Reagan, ex-Darkest Hour) to take MAMMOTH GRINDER to new heights of misanthropic rage and blazing songcraft! Features stunning cover art from the legendary Joe Petagno (Motorhead, Autopsy, Angelcorpse, Pink Floyd).

However, the journeyman musician has peddled his wares of metal and punk via the blasting grind of HATRED SURGE, the snot-nosed filth of IMPALERS and with the Swedish death...
