Germany's Engrained are the kind of band that wear their influences on their sleeves, but are all the better for it. Engrained boogie like vintage Motörhead, mix in some stripped-down punk riffs in the style of Turbonegro, and bring everything together with metal attitude. On March 22nd, Engrained will release 'Deep Rooted,' their debut album. The full-length was recorded and mixed by Tommy Newton, who has also worked with the likes of Helloween and UFO.

Take a listen to the record's ripping opening song, 'Dead Man's Hand.' As you'll hear, the band wastes no time getting down to business.

"'Dead Man's Hand' is filthy and fast -- just the way we like it. It smells like a sweat-soaked shirt drenched in beer," said Engrained guitarist Schorse. The band was formed in the early '90s in Sarstedt, which is near Hannover, Germany. Their first release was a six-track hardcore disc called 'Capricious' in 1992.

'Deep Rooted' comes out March 22nd on SPV/Steamhammer Records.
