Metal Band Semen Deer Hunter Abortion Tactical SWAT Team Returns With New Song Titled “Festering Puss Annihilation Combo Driver”
CLEVELAND – Extreme metal group Semen Deer Hunter Abortion Tactical SWAT Team announced Tuesday that it would be returning after a seven year hiatus with a new single titled Festering Puss Annihilation Combo Driver, a song the band says is “less political than previous work.”
The announcement was made through a grainy Instagram video filmed in what appeared to be an abandoned laser tag arena. Frontman and founding vocalist Greg “Maggot Clerk” Densmore stood shirtless beside a tactical breaching shield while slowly pouring Monster Energy into a deer skull.
“We’ve matured,” Densmore said. “Back then we were just angry kids screaming about rot, state violence, infected milk, and medieval genital punishment. Now we’re fathers. Some of us own pressure washers. The music reflects that growth.”
The band originally formed in 2004 after members met while being removed from different county fairs across northern Ohio. Their breakout album Chainsaw Baptism Under Grandma’s Crawlspace briefly charted in Finland and led to the group being banned from performing within 300 feet of several municipal fountains.
Music critics say the new single represents a sonic evolution for the band, blending traditional death metal blast beats with what one reviewer described as “the atmosphere of a condemned Buffalo Wild Wings.”
“This is their most emotionally vulnerable work,” said metal journalist Darren Pruitt, who listened to the track three times before experiencing temporary numbness in his hands. “There’s a real sadness beneath the chainsaw samples and layered pig shrieks. You can tell these men have recently argued with insurance providers.”
The song itself runs eleven minutes and contains only six decipherable words, including “ulcer,” “detonator,” and “dad.” Halfway through the track, all instrumentation reportedly stops for nearly ninety seconds while a distorted voice calmly reads the ingredients list from a Taco Bell menu item released in 2014.
Fans immediately praised the return online, with many calling the new material “disgusting” and “finally unsafe again.”
“I cried,” said longtime fan Tyler Grube, who has followed the band since age thirteen and now works as an assistant manager at a vape warehouse. “Most modern metal is too clean. These guys still sound like they recorded everything inside a septic tank during a hostage negotiation.”
The band’s label confirmed that the accompanying music video required three industrial fog machines, two retired police horses, and a licensed infectious disease consultant.
According to insiders, internal disputes nearly prevented the reunion after bassist Todd “Open Wound Legislator” Kincaid demanded the group move in a “more jazz-oriented direction.” Negotiations reportedly collapsed after Kincaid presented the rest of the band with a twelve minute fretless bass solo inspired by airport carpeting.
Despite concerns about the title, streaming platforms have largely agreed to host the song after the band submitted paperwork classifying it as “historical commentary.”
Spotify briefly flagged the single for medical misinformation before restoring it under its wellness podcast category.
The band will begin touring later this year with support from opening acts Rectal Compass, Kidney Oven, and Christian youth worship ensemble The Forgiven Sons Of Mercy Chapel Acoustic Collective, whose booking agent described the lineup as “an administrative misunderstanding that has now legally progressed too far to reverse.”
