Escuela Grind

Formed in 2016 by vocalist Katerina Economou and guitarist Jesse Fuentes, East Coast USA-based Escuela Grind is an ascending extreme band, known for a relentless work ethic that includes performing over 600 global shows in recent years. Blending technical discipline with groove, the band—joined by guitarist Krissy Morash, bassist Justin Altamirano, and drummer Jake Sanders—has expanded its sound beyond rigid genre boundaries. After releasing their 2020 album Indoctrination, 2022 album Memory Theater and touring alongside grindcore and death metal legends, the group recorded their follow-up LP, Dreams on Algorithms, with producer Kurt Ballou at GodCity studio. Designed to explore themes of modern digital consumption, social media algorithms, and subconscious dreams, the record pushes the band's creative limits through varied influences and new vocal styles. Upcoming releases seek to expand on those themes, with a decidedly, even heavier approach.
