Over
the last 12 months I couldn’t fail to be impressed by fast emerging German DIY label
WOOAAARGH, an imprint that first came to my attention with the release of the
crushing album “Grim Love” by Grim Von
Doom, they are label specialising in hardcore punk/metal. Over the last few months we have featured
three of their most recent releases, the excellent God
Mother/Artemis split, While Sun End’s new full length and only last
week, we debuted the misanthropic maelstrom of Implore and their 5 track
scarifying EP, “Thanatos”.
With
those releases in the bank, the momentum of WOOAAARGH shows not sign of wavering, indeed on
October 14th 2016 the label will co-release “Once Love Was Lost”
, the new album from Vorvaň. Formed in Moscow , Russia
in 2009 by guitarist Eugene Cherevkov, the band went through several line-up
changes before settling into its current line up. Since their inception it wasn’t long before Vorvaň began to build up a solid buzz in their
native country and as a result they have shared the stage with heavyweights
such as Napalm
Death, Extreme Noise Terror and Walls of Jericho.
Despite
the fact they have unleashing their brand of anarchic punk since 2012, Vorvaň remain relatively unknown outside of
their native Russia ,
until now that is. Musicians most
notably from Converge
and From
Ashes Rise, took part in making “Once
Love Was Lost” become a reality and as a result the album will
undoubtedly be remembered as one of the best albums of 2016, as ‘Once Love Was Lost’ represents a new
era for the band.
So
if you’re fan of Converge, Trap Them, The
Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Disfear, load the chamber, spin the cylinder, and pull the trigger, as we
unleash the album track “The Black Kaleidoscope”
'Once
Love Was Lost' will be released on Gatefold 2LP, accompanied by a
mammoth 32-page Booklet
and available in the following colours, 200
silver & black mixed, 200 solid
white and 100 doom black . It can
be pre ordered here
