(IT) Assumption-Absconditus LP (2018)

Country: Italy
Genre: Doom, Death Metal, Black Metal, Sludge
Label: Sentient Ruin Laboratories
Tracks: 3
Length: 36.5'

Dear Friends in the Press and Media worldwide -  we're happy to present you with the release of Abscondidus, by Italian death-doom behemoths Assumption.

Assumption return with their otherworldly debut LP - once again dragging the listener to a warped and hallucinated twilight zone lost at the edge of the cosmos. Within the crushing vastness of these three colossal songs the listener will feel the weight of omnipotent emptiness pushing them down toward the singularity where they are slowly pulled apart by invisible tidal forces before they decay into nothingness.

The first taste of total cosmic death has been unveiled by No Clean Singing, who have premiered album opener Liberation, calling the track "haunting, hallucinatory, and horrific" - check out the feature and listen HERE.

Assumption are an enigmatic Italian extreme metal duo devoted to the meticulous unravelling of grandiose and slow-moving dirges of colossal death-doom. The band was formed around 2011 by two fixture figures in Italian extreme metal hailing from such bands as Haemophagus, Gravesite, Stasis, Undead Creep, Morbo etc. Upon conception the duo set out to write desolating and majestic death/doom metal entwined with mind-expanding psychedelic passages that would place the listener at the center of a vacuous and hallucinatory realm of collapsing existence and omnipotent emptiness, conjuring the same surreal and otherworldly atmospheres and moods as seen in legendary progenitors of the genre like diSEMBOWELMENT, early Esoteric or Thergothon.  


With incredible art by Lauri Laaksonen of Desolate Shrine fame Absconditus will see the light on April 20 2018 through Sentient Ruin in the US (cassette), and Everlasting Spew Records in the EU (CD). The vinyl release is scheduled from both labels for a late summer release, while cassettes can be pre-ordered now on our store or Bandcamp. (Press Note)

*Damn, this is some killer doom, death metal, black metal, and sludge from Italy FFO: Sea Of Bones, Atriarch, and other like-minded bands.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

Ssanathtes-S/T LP (2018)

Country: France
Genre: Post Hardcore, Post Metal, Doom, Sludge
Label: WOOAAARGH
Tracks: 6
Length: 47.30'

Created in summer 2013 by Franck (guitar) and Fabien (vox/synth), SSANATHES is a post-metal band influenced by Godflesh, Cult of Luna or Kickback. Their debut EP was released in April 2015. How does it sound? Think about some some sludge metal played on 8 strings guitars. 

Their first album was entirely composed by Franck and re-arranged with the band, it shows a brand new face of the band: darker and more oppressive, enhanced by a different production. Their music still talks about their lives and emphasized the lyrics with tribal and psychedelic jams, brand new ambiances in order to create something unique. 

After playing in Bordeaux with Toundra, Regarde Les Hommes Tomber, The Great Old Ones and Black Tusk, they have signed with WOOAAARGH to release their first album. A Spanish tour is planned from the 19th to the 24th of February, and it will be followed by a French, Belgium and Dutch tour in May 2018, while they have already started to work on their next record!! (Press Note)


*Damn.  This is some killer post hardcore, post metal, doom, and sludge.  FFO: Neurosis, Cult Of Luna, Old Man Gloom, and Playing Enemy.  Ssanathes' debut LP was released via WOOAAARGH records on March 22nd, 2018.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

Ewig. Endlich-Auf Grund LP (2018)

Country: Germany
Genre: Post Hardcore, Post Metal, Doom, Crust, Sludge
Label: WOOAAARGH/Dedication Records
Tracks: 8
Length: 53.35'

Dortmund 5 piece post-metal crew Ewig.Endlich. present 'Auf Grund' a consummate display of dynamic, sorrowful riffing and heartfelt, reverberating hardcore-howls. The band draw influence from a variety of sources on this release, from sad but hopeful guitar leads remeniscent of some softer post-rock like Explosions In The Sky, to thunderous mid-paced blast beats and trem picking in the style of black metal influenced hardcore, to chugging, crushing sludge breakdowns.

Ewig.Endlich. blend all of these disparate elements into an effective and varied LP comparable to post-metal contemporaries such as Cult Of Luna, Minsk or in places even Agalloch. The style is very song focused, there is not a lot of wandering or meandering through extended noise passages or overlong ambient breaks here, everything is concentrated on delivering the tune. The recording and production here is clean and clear, with a strong studio vibe, the whole package is extremely professional, this feels like a band who are well into their stride and comfortable in their own skin. Expect great things from these guys. (Press Note)

*Killer Post Hardcore, Post Metal, Doom, Crust, Sludge from Dortmund, Germany FFO: Black Freighter, Amber, Locktender, etc.  Highly recommended!  Auf Grund was released via WOOAAARGH and Dedication records on April 13th, 2018.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
