Portland, Oregon-based Death Metal/ Grindcore act WORLD OF LIES is proud to announce their new bass player, Thomas Rusnak from RORSCHACH. RORSCHACH and was a high influential and technical Hardcore Punk/ Powerviolence band from New Jersey that existed from 1989 – 1993. They have played limited shows and festivals since 2009.RORSCHACH also had one of their songs “Pavlov’s Dogs” appear in the Sony Pictures movie ZERO DARK THIRTY in 2012. Thomas also played in KISS IT GOODBYE and most recently Portland’s own longest running & biggest punk band POISON IDEA. RORSCHACH’s “Protestant” album is #79 of the DECIBEL MAGAZINE HALL OF FAME.
RORSCHACH like THE ACCÜSED were direct influences on WORLD OF LIES main man Tony Avila‘s upbringing. “When I saw RORSCHACH in high school, they really made me want to play,” and “I was super stoked to find out he was not only living here in Portland but playing in POISON IDEA“. There is a very interesting story unfolding here and we are very excited to start working with Thomas. Thomas will be playing with WORLD OF LIES at their next show Friday, January 17th, 2014 @ The Hawthorne Theater in Portland, Oregon with 80’s Crossover legends D.R.I..
