Search - Swollen Members :: Dagger Mouth

From the release of their debut album Balance in 1999, Swollen Members captivated the underground hip hop world with live shows that took the raw explosive energy of rock music and powered it with the groups jaw dropping lyrical ability. The group s universal appeal caught the attention of both underground and mainstream audiences and while earning accolades, as well as Juno awards in their native Canada. The group has gone on to sell over 250,000 units in the United States. Over the years the group has collaborated with Everlast, Psycho Realm, Evidence, The Alchemist, Planet Asia, Chali 2Na, Nelly Furtado, Talib Kweli and Tech N9ne.

Swollen Members burst back onto the scene after a three year hiatus with Armed to the Teeth in late 2009. The album landed at #146 on the Top 200, #23 Independent Chart, #5 Heat Seekers/New Artist chart, and #11 on the Rap chart.

With emcee Madchild now free from his addiction to painkillers and having endorsed all his demons, he has returned to Swollen Members with a vengeance to record their seventh studio album Dagger Mouth . From the powerful production of Rob the Viking to the dark poetic abstract expressionism of Madchild and Prevail, Dagger Mouth is a return to the classic Swollen Members sound by harnessing the group s savage and chaotic energy into one focused and commanding effort.
