This week’s MP3 premiere features Portland sludge-rock trio Rabbits, which will release a new full-length, Lower Forms, on February 15. The band, featuring former members of punk/hardcore bands VSS, Angel Hair, and Pleasure Forever, released an EP titled Hide in early 2010 on Eolian before jumping to Relapse later that year.

If “Duck, The Pigs” is any indication, Lower Forms will be packed with Rabbits’ heavily distorted doom-punk guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocal mayhem.
