The Berlin-based grind unit Botulism has been festering in the European underground for two years, carving their name into the scene with sheer sonic brutality. After a short, volatile silence, they resurface with Microdosing the Torment, a ten-track eruption of filth, set to drop on February 27th. The new offering is a sickness, a hallucinatory descent into the decay of modern life, where every track is a spore ready to take root in your skull.
The band calls it an “ode to kaos.” A self-produced 7” run ensures no two copies are the same—550 color variations, every pressing its own unique slab of destruction. Later, Microdosing the Torment will spread further through a tape release via Lower Class Kids Records. Limited format, maximum damage.

This record keeps that spirit alive—furious, unhinged grindcore that annihilates structure in favor of pure sonic terrorism. Tracks rip past with no warning, leaving behind nothing but tinnitus and the taste of rust.
The brief moments of air aren’t reprieves—they’re just the empty seconds before the next full-throttle attack. Microdosing the Torment is suffocating, ear-splitting, and absolutely relentless.

To mark the album’s release, Botulism is hitting the road, locking into an unholy alliance with French grind tyrants Warfuck for a three-date blitz through Germany and the Czech Republic. If the record is a sickness, the live show is a full-blown epidemic.
