Arizona brutal death metal outfit Atoll have officially released their long-awaited new single, “Ripped Apart By Test Tube Monkeys.” While the studio version is only now surfacing online, the track itself dates back several years and has been a recurring staple of the band’s live set.
The band recorded the song at the kickoff of one of their biggest tours to date, finally giving the fan-favorite its proper studio treatment. Speaking on the release, Atoll shared:
“We recorded this on the kick off of one of our biggest tours last year. ‘Ripped Apart By Test Tube Monkeys‘ is a classic from way back in the Atoll catalog. It’s a constant in our live set. People love seeing us play it but we think Wade just likes doing the monkey dance on stage lol. Check out the dates for the Swamp Survivor Tour so you can come dance with us!!!”
