This episode is a special one... its a sneak peek at Tripchord's upcoming CD, "Surviving the System", being released on November 18th through Cyclone Records.  

UK's Mass Movement Mag says "Surviving the System" is "something quite distinctive and mature. The songs seem to gather depth with every step taken, as if the listener is on a journey. The musicians can shift their focus from a gloomy undercurrent to a wave of metal drowning the whole band in a furious moshpit. Be patient when entering the world of Canadian band Tripchord…it will be worth it!"

Tripchord-Distant
Tripchord-Sinner of Man
