From the darkest chasms of the UK's underground heavy music scene comes four brutal, intense and mind-melting tracks of drone, doom and noise.
This four way split comes courtesy of the collective Catafalque (featuring members of The Dead Yesterdays, Mastiff and Gnarl), and three solo artists in Malvost (Bloodswamp, Skullthrone), Bogwych (Gozer, ex-Ba'al) and The Owl (Morbid Beauty, Sloth Hammer, Gets Worse).
Each artist draws out a unique style of abstract heaviness on their respective tracks. Reaching into the depths, they conjure up four distinct blends of slow droning guitars, mesmerising demonic vocals, thundering vivid bass and punishing discordant noise that leave you with an acidic after-taste of doom, sludge and black metal. The stunning yet murky visuals that accompany the record tie in to both the harsh and depressive themes, as well as the epic nature of these sonic fields.
The record is released on Friday 12th November 2021 and will be available on CD via Owlripper Recordings (
owlripperrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/orr007-4-way-split), as well in digital format.
Cassette tape via Trepanation Recordings will be released 17th December.
