Mutilation Rites is a black metal band from New York that was founded in 2009. Opting to pursue a "hardcore" aesthetic, both stylistically and sonically, which some might difficult to stomach, Mutilation Rites is a band not for the faint of heart or for individuals who will undoubtedly find the group's uncouth lyrics or highly distorted guitar chugs offensive. Having built a solid reputation for itself amid followers of East Coast metal during its formative years, Mutilation Rites is poised to become a stalwart act of its genre specific music scene.
