Apocalyptic death industrial project PATHOGENS will release the three-song Soiled Cogs Forever Grinding via a partnership between Scry Recordings and Black Horizons on March 13th.

PATHOGENS is A. D. Carter using manipulated samples, distorted synth, found objects and contact mic recordings, electronic drums and percussion, electric guitar, voice, and throat.

Taking early Swans influences to an even more bleak and excruciating extremes, A. D. Carter blends synth distortion, primal mechanical rhythms, profoundly disturbing samples, and nightmarish agonized vocalizations to create death industrial doom akin to its influences, yet unique and singular.
