Mistress return with their rampaging 4th album, 'The Glory Bitches Of Doghead', a wild eyed, careening journey across styles and atmospheres from all out Grind warfare and ferocity to crushing, epic emotional intensity via beer swilling, fist banging rock. Always filthy, always balls-to-the-wall, and often more sophisticated than you might expect, The Glory Bitches Of Doghead is a clarion call for the frustrated and downtrodden with its head in the clouds and its nose in the gutter.
Since their last album 'In Disgust We Trust' on Earache Records, Mistress have toured the UK several times with much missed label mates Beecher, US Thrash bastards Municipal Waste and rising UK extreme Grind stars Narcosis, as well as appearing live on Redemption TV (filmed at a London show with hardcore legends Sick Of It All) and even on BBC game show Never Mind The Buzzcocks. It's been an eventful journey!
And now the band proudly present their new album via FETO Records, the joint venture between the peerless Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Lock Up, Venomous Concept etc. etc.) and musical polymath Mick Kenney.
Taking in subject matter ranging from grimy obsessions and seeking alcohol oblivion to a bitter attack on Immanuel Kant, The Glory Bitches Of Doghead is an aggressive, frequently surprising and supremely energetic collection that should appeal to anyone with a love for extreme metal and even anyone with an axe to grind!
Album number four is a terrifying display of concise aggression and subtly inventive musicality. t top speed they are precise and devastating as any Swedish grinders. In a lower gear churning out some harrowing sludge they whip up a storm of degrading hostility that impossible to resist.” Dom Lawson METALHAMMER 8/10
“Mistress have produced more grind core in the last eight years them most bands would in double. Showcasing there fondness for sludged-up density and dizzying blast-beat fury and sharpening them into a blade of pure mayhem. Each track oozing an intense energy that comes only from a band revelling in absolute liberation like pigs in shit”
Ryan Bird – KERRANG 4/5
“Mistress’ music is disagreeable, it’s about as pleasant as getting a glass in the face, but that’s also the beauty of these oiks. Fuelled as always by cheap cider, living in the industrial slum of Birmingham, and this time around by Immanuel Kant too (philosophical grind anyone?), Mistress are way more enjoyable than being subjected to listening to the new Good Charlotte record at Rock Sound HQ!” Darren Sadler ROCKSOUND 8/10
