If you ever wondered what going cold turkey was like after endless years of substance abuse then look no further than Drug Honkey, a band who prey on your vulnerabilities and your worst fears, delivering a brutal and nightmarish aural drug which will have you shooting up your next fix just to escape the nausea.
Drug Honkey have
always been a step ahead of their peers, if there were any in the first place.
Their brand of death/doom is something nightmarish, vaguely psychedelic and
exudes a post-apocalyptic quality too. They've taken the vision of Godflesh and added their own twist to it, making it darker,
surreal and morbid. And yet there's a strangely reassuring quality to their
atmospheric music. There's a form of tenacity in their music of the same kind
that will have you crawl ahead in life despite all its inherent ugliness
pinning you down.
Following on from 2012’s “Ghost in the Fire” Drug Honkey are taking
things to a different level with new album “Cloak of the Skies”” with guest contributions from the legend
himself, Justin K. Broadrick (GODFLESH, JESU) and
Bruce Lamont (YAKUZA, CORRECTIONS HOUSE) with
his saxophone eeriness, and having the hand-painted artwork of Paolo Girardi
(INQUISITION, CHTHE'ILIST) represent the pulsating sickness of this ambitious
and unconventional release. Today is the day you recognise you had a drug
problem that you never knew existed as Drug Honkey offer you
another addictive and brutal track entitled “Outlet of Hatred” which you can stream exclusively below. “Cloak
of the Skies” can preordered here
