About the Band:
Spesimin came into being in 2019, when Punk-rooted Ian (Vocals/Drums) and Jazz inflected Alejandro (Guitar) bonded over their shared appreciation for old-school Thrash and Death Metal. Ian’s former bandmate Jeff (Bass) joined in 2020, bringing his love of Florida Death Metal and New York Hardcore to perfectly round out the band’s unique brand of melodic evil Metalpunk.
While fusing elements of Punk, Hardcore, Thrash and Death Metal, Spesimin often defers to Rock grooves and melody over blasts and brutality. The musically adventurous trio has recently refined their approach, transporting their precision riffing and primitive rhythms into slightly Doomier territory, incorporating its long-form technical elements, while continuing to explore deadly serious subjects. They are an anthemic anomaly of their own extreme genre.
From 2020’s Born In The Crypt and 2022’s Rotting In The Vine, Spesimin’s path of evolution has been clear, but 2025 holds a new chapter with a self-titled discography LP, which compiles their previous releases with their newest EP, entitled Skull Worship. Spesimin generates a pivotal new incarnation as the band’s first vinyl release. Engineer/ album cover artist Dan Angel created unique setups for the band to experiment like mad scientists, their operations polished with mastering by producer Arthur Rizk. Present all along, but fully realized by one of Dan’s drawings, the mascot in their mind was “Spesi”--a primordial fiend without a face, a disembodied brain with diabolical powers, ravenous for revenge against an uncaring world.
