We’ve obtained some contemporary rot from the Nice White North. Edmonton, Alberta duo Derek Orthner (guitars/vocals/synth/results) and Durell Smith (drums/bass) have mixed to type doomy loss of life metallic duo Anthrodynia, and we’re providing up a brand new observe, “Engulfed in Grief,” from their debut full-length Unspeakable Horrors Emanating From Inside. The eight-minute-plus observe is a intelligent homage to a sure iconic Boston sludge/doom band and lands sonically with spectacular weight and attendant foul stench. It’s a dark trudge down a miserable musical path with gut-emptying vocals and riffs that unfurl in gradual movement.
Unspeakable Horrors Emanating From Inside was recorded, blended and produced by Orthner. It was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. It’s set to be issued on CD, LP and digitally on August 15 by way of Anonymous Grave Data. Preorders are actually dwell on the Anonymous Grave Data webshop right here and Bandcamp right here.
Derek Orthner had this to say concerning the new observe:
“This can be a not-so-subtle homage to the band Grief, as we had been attempting to faucet into that dismal sludge sound for the primary half of this track. The lyrics take care of how brutal the grieving course of could be, as it may well utterly drain one’s motivation, and result in a bleak existence. Poor coping mechanisms develop into self sabotage, particularly within the case of substance abuse. This was a really cathartic track to put in writing, personally talking, and felt applicable for the heaviness of the music. The layering of lead guitar harmonies within the last a part of the track actually digs into these early-’90s loss of life/doom influences, and I like the way it got here out.”
