Empire State Bastard have just unleashed a three-track EP, produced by Gojira’s Joe Duplantier.

Entitled the Silver Cord Sessions, the release was captured at Joe’s New York studios of the same name and hears them perform Harvest, Moi? and Stutter from last year’s great Rivers Of Heresy debut.

The Silver Cord Sessions EP arrives ahead of a big few months for the duo – Simon Neil and Mike Vennart – as they gear up to support Sleep Token in North America. After that they’ll return to the UK for a number of select shows and festival appearances.
