Los Angeles based duo Patriarchy has announced the upcoming release of their brand new extended play project titled Appendices. The new collection is officially scheduled to arrive this Friday on August 7. To celebrate the announcement, the band has highlighted the electro industrial metal epic “Servile” as the primary focus track, which notably features guest backing screams from the all female Norwegian black metal band Witch Club Satan following their recent summer tour together.

Thematically, “Servile” dives into the gray zones of Stockholm syndrome and the terrifying intimacy of total surrender. Vocalist Actually Huizenga explains that the track speaks from inside a body being reshaped by control, trading fear for submission to become a weapon for a higher power. Musically, the release continues to define the self described snuff pop sound of the group in unexpected ways. The Appendices EP moves fluidly through elements of dance punk, heavy metal, and fractured pop, proving the collection is much more than a simple compilation of B sides.

The new focus track directly follows the arrival of the recent summer singles “Bite Marks” and “Lilylicker,” which were both born out of genuine fear during a wildfire blackout and carry the dark DNA of their influences. The Appendices EP was written and produced by Patriarchy with additional production and mixing handled by Ben Chisholm, Enyang Urbiks, and Matia Simovich. The highly anticipated release will be available to stream across all major digital platforms this Friday.
