Italian grindcore outfit Cripple Bastards has released a lyric video for the title track of its forthcoming EP. The move marks the group’s first standalone project since its 2018 full-length album. With nearly four decades in the scene, the band continues to shape the genre’s raw edge while preparing fresh material for fans.
A Career Spanning Decades
Cripple Bastards formed in the late 1980s and has maintained a steady presence in underground circles ever since. The group’s seventh studio album arrived in 2018, after which the members focused on individual projects and occasional live appearances. That extended gap makes the new EP a notable return to collective output.
Listeners familiar with the band’s earlier work will recognize the same intensity that defined its sound across multiple eras. The current release arrives at a time when grindcore continues to attract new audiences drawn to its speed and directness.
Production and Release Details
Stefano Santi handled production duties at SPVN Studio, shaping the six tracks into a concise package. The EP carries the title “La tua foto sul marmo” and is scheduled to reach listeners on June 12, 2026, through F.O.A.D. Records. The label has long supported extreme music releases, aligning with the band’s established network.
The title track itself serves as the centerpiece, with its lyric video now available for immediate viewing. The remaining songs explore themes of closure, regret, and boundary-pushing expression, consistent with the band’s longstanding lyrical approach.
Current Lineup and Sound
The recording features the stable quartet that has performed together in recent years. Giulio The Bastard handles vocals, Schintu The Wretched plays bass, Der Kommissar contributes guitar, and Raphael Saini sits behind the drums. Their combined experience brings both technical precision and the unfiltered energy grindcore demands.
Each member brings distinct credits from prior bands and sessions, yet the collective chemistry remains unmistakably Cripple Bastards. The result is a tight, aggressive recording that honors the group’s history without repeating past formulas.
