California death metal/grind crew BRED FOR SLAUGHTER will release their third offering, Horrid Display Of Death, on December 11 via Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. The record is up for pre-order now on CD and digital, along with new merch, and the first single, "Merciless Torture", is streaming:
The Bay Area band is fronted by Mark Smith, a scene veteran who sang on EXHUMED's early demos. BRED FOR SLAUGHTER debuted with the EP Here You're Born… Here You Die and followed it in 2024 with the Kill For Satan EP, also on Horror Pain Gore Death.
The new release sticks to the formula: old-school death metal with grindcore speed, twin-guitar attack and blasting drums. The band makes no secret of the approach, saying they wanted something relentless from start to finish — no fillers and no atmospheric interludes, "just straight-to-the-fucking-point death metal". The label lists CARCASS, ENTOMBED, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, OBITUARY, MARDUK and EXHUMED among the touchstones.
The six-track record will be released on CD and digitally.
