WOORMS sign to Sludgelord Records! – Premiere New Song ‘Stiff Upper Lisp’, Vinyl Pre-Order Announcement and Artwork Reveal for debut "Slake"

Fresh from a string of exciting new additions to our roster of bands over at SLUDGELORD RECORDS, the aim of which is to release the best & heaviest riffs from the underground doom scene, an opportunity presented itself, that was just too cool to miss.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think the label would release more than one record, let alone, make today’s announcement of an exciting new addition to the label, which will represent the 19^th new band to come on board to THE SLUDGEORD roster.  Guys we’re stoked to welcome WOORMS.

Formed in 2017 in Louisiana, WOORMS – featuring guitarist/vocalist Joey Carbo, bassist John Robinson, and drummer Aaron Polk – are something of a sleeping colossus. Based in Baton Rouge, the band has been delivering a devastating and brutal mélange of riffs and noise-rock righteousness on the precipice of significance for some time.

Despite only being a year or so into their sonic existence WOORMS have already racked up a number of releases; a collection of demos, digital one-offs (‘Daddy Was A Masker,’ 'The Math Says, Yes') and a split with NOLA thrashers, A Hanging.

Looking for a new partnership to assist with the promotion of their debut album, SLUDGELORD RECORDS & WOORMS are now set to deliver the colossus that is "Slake" set for  its official release on January 18th 2019. Two cuts from the record have already caused a stir with ‘Mouth is a Wound’ premiering at Decibel Magazine and a second track 'Find a Meal, Find a Bed, Find a God' , which for all intents and purposes is the perfect introduction to the band.

WOORMS come across like a lumbering, symphonic noise-rock shank fight between the fattest of riffs and the thinnest of patience with the world at large. Making for a devastatingly terse and perverse experience, from the pinnacle to the point of no return, their new record "Slake" falls psychotically through the fuzz and unholy grind of bands like KARP, Jesus Lizard and Neurosis

"Slake" will be released digitally and on limited colour vinyl with full Colour gatefold sleeve and today  as well as the announcement of this massive partnership, we are premiering a new track ‘Stiff Upper Lisp’ and artwork reveal of the album (by Victor LeBlanc) , both of which you can check out below.  Preorders are also live HERE and Joey Carbo shares his views about the “Slake” artwork

The album as an entire package has always been very important to all of us. Obviously, as musicians we take our record collections very seriously. Because, it’s your work and your research as well as being art that you consume, you know? So, when I’m putting out a record the art is half the process. It all has to be presented just right or the vision may not translate. Fold out jackets and liner notes were huge to me, growing up, and to my education. I poured over those as a kid and I still do that. When I saw Victor’s work, I didn’t want another artist for this album. This painting was perfect, and I could hear the main track playing over or out of it. He took some convincing and I got that. Initially, he said no. I asked if I could try to change his mind. We met, and I talked to him about “Find a Meal, Find a Bed, Find a God” and why I thought it made his work a great fit. He had heard our music and liked it well enough or whatever, I guess, but didn’t think it was a fit for his piece. I said, let me show you this new song; it’s the reason we need this painting. Joshua M. Wilkinson at The Company did the layout and design work and we were really lucky to have him on board, and Diogo Soares at Soares Artwork in Portugal did illustrations for the inner sleeve and liner notes. We had a fucking dream team for the art on this album and that is what fans can expect for every WOORMS release. We want to put out really pretty records that crush ears and take ass. Or is it the other way ‘round?”

The Sludgelord News: KOWLOON WALLED CITY Joins Neurot Recordings For The Release Of Their Third Studio Album

 [photo by Bowen Anderson Photography]

To say we love this band at The Sludgelord is probably an under statement, indeed Steve Howe, lauded over their 2013 release ‘Container Ships’ (review here).  So today it is great to hear that Neurot Recordings have announced the signing of San Francisco-based sludge/noise rock unit KOWLOON WALLED CITY to their family for the CD release of the band's forthcoming third full-length record, expected this Fall,   Gilead Media will handle the release on vinyl.

Comments Neurot's Steve Von Till, "KOWLOON WALLED CITY is a hardworking, no-nonsense group of people, who deliver no-nonsense, in-your-face aggressive music. We couldn't be happier."

Adds the band, "It goes without saying but we're all honored and excited about this. Literally every interaction we've had with the Neurosis camp has been great - they are super solid people who 100% get it. The same goes for Gilead Media. All right, back to work."

Further KOWLOON WALLED CITY news will be announced in the weeks to come. In the meantime, sample the band's previous releases at their official Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION.

The Sludgelord News: SWEET COBRA: Chicago Outfit Signs With Magic Bullet Records For Anxiously Awaited Earth LP This Spring

Album Features Production & Inclusion From Matt Talbot of Hum And Kurt Ballou of Converge

Magic Bullet Records is ecstatic to announce the signing of Chicago-based SWEET COBRA for the release of their anxiously awaited new studio album, Earth, late this Spring. The band's triumphant new LP was recorded and produced by Matt Talbot of Hum and Kurt Ballou of Converge, and also features guest musical contributions from each artist. Earth is their first full-length recording since their lauded 2010-released Mercy.

Recording was completed in late 2013 with Matt Talbot (Hum) and Kurt Ballou (Converge) at Talbot's Earth Analog Studios near Champaign, Illinois, mixed by Ballou at his Godcity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts, and with final mastering by Carl Saff. Earth shows the band hungrier than ever, with the trusted and infectious ferocity fans will expect as well as a slick, more accessible approach.

Issued Magic Bullet Records owner Brent Eyestone on getting hooked by the material on Earth, even before its final mastering, "Holy hell... it's completely badass! Kind of a new sound for the band; catchier, and I can see the appeal of the sound being much broader than their previous output. I get similar feelings from the best Queens of the Stone Age, Quicksand, and Young Widows records... super catchy slabs of heaviness."

The members of SWEET COBRA collectively offered a humble statement on the signing with Magic Bullet and the upcoming release of Earth: "We are honored to be working with Magic Bullet and have always felt a kinship to the label and artists they release. Earth is a deeply personal album for us, and it was a liberating experience to explore new sounds and dynamics in these songs with Matt and Kurt at the helm capturing it."

Earth will see release late this Spring on multiple formats; stand by in the coming weeks for an official street date, additional insight and audio samples from the LP. Also watch for SWEET COBRA tour dates throughout the year, including an already sold-out show with Hum in Grand Rapids on April 25th.

SWEET COBRA Tour Dates:

3/27/2015 Drunken Donut - Joliet, IL

3/28/2015 Melody Inn - Indianapolis, IN w/ Kvlthammer

4/04/2015 The Burlington - Chicago, IL w/ Auxes

4/25/2015 Pyramid Scheme - Grand Rapids, MI w/ Hum, Cloakroom (SOLD OUT)

The dedication of its members and the band's storied lineage has helped make SWEET COBRA a household name to fans of bold rock and post-hardcore internationally, and a staple within the bustling music scene of their hometown of Chicago. Founded in 2003 by former members of a wide array of notable underground acts and boasting the fury and angular qualities of their hardcore/noise-rock/metal roots with a more straightforward rock rhythm and delivery, the band came into existence and toured alongside the likes of Pelican, Russian Circles, Coliseum, Black Cobra, Doomriders, The Life And Times, Young Widows and many more. SWEET COBRA toured regularly throughout the first decade of the 2000s, and released a crushing load of recorded material, including three LPs -- 2004's Praisethrough Seventh Rule Recordings, 2007's Forever through Hawthorne Street Records, and 2010'sMercy on Blackmarket Activities -- as well as split releases with Doomriders, Get Rad, and Young Widows among other releases.

In fall 2009, with Mercy just completed, second guitarist Mat Arluck lost his ongoing fight with cancer. Arluck's death left a deep scar on the entire Chicago music scene (and beyond). SWEET COBRA committed to soldier on as a three-piece, as they began, resulting in a transformation of the band in the following years. The members have pushed forward -- playing shows, constructing new material, and exploring new sounds. These efforts have culminated in the upcoming release of Earth.

SWEET COBRA:

Jason Gagovski - drums and cymbals

Robert Arthur Lanham Jr. - guitar

Botchy Vasquez (aka Tim Remis) - vocals and bass

The Sludgelord News: ESCHATON: New England-Based Technical Death Metal Tacticians Sign Multi Album Deal With Unique Leader Records

New England-based technical death metal tacticians, ESCHATON (es-kut-on), are the latest addition to Unique Leader Records' expanding roster of extreme.

A name signifying the "end of the world" or a "climax of history," ESCHATON was founded in 2007 near Providence, Rhode Island and manifests a uniquely aggressive, stand-alone sound that's at once procedural yet wholly-enthralling. Comments Unique Leader of their newest recruits, "We are pleased to present yet another great signing for Unique Leader Records this year. ESCHATON brings a perfect blend of technicality, power and groove and are sure to turn heads with their debut album out this Spring."

Adds the band, "Unique Leader Records has a reputation for signing innovative, brutal talent, making it one of the most extreme labels worldwide. Every band on Unique Leader's roster is bad-ass and straight brings the pain. ESCHATON couldn't be more excited to add their own flavor of punishment to Unique Leader's growing arsenal."

ESCHATON features vocalist Jason Viteri, guitarist brothers Joshua and Jared Berry, bassist Pat Pattison drummer Darren Cesca (Pillory, Arsis, Goratory, Incinerate). The band self-released their woefully underrated five-track Wake Of The Ophidian EP in 2010. Elaborated Sick Drummer of the band's output, "ESCHATON... combines technical skill and thoughtful composition, forging an unforgiving and aggressive sound that as a listener, will leave you picking up the pieces of that wimpy thing you called a life. Blending neo-classical progressive death metal riffs with grooves, solos and epic harmonies, guitarist Joshua Berry has a writing style that punches your face, many times, and leaves you crying for more. Not a fruity pie? You will be, once Darren Cesca riddles your body with relentless blast-beats and lightning-fast fill combinations. Combine all this with half demon, half angel, half man vocalist Jason Viteri's dynamic highs, brutal gutturals and greasy long hair and what do you get? Windmills."

This all set the tone for the sonic brutality that would become ESCHATON's first full-length, Sentinel Apocalypse. The as-yet-unreleased album caught the attention of Unique Leader Records in 2014, leading to a formidable partnership that will expose ESCHATON to metal fans globally. Sentinel Apocalypse will be released this Spring. Further details to be announced soon.

The Sludgelord News: SAVIOURS: Oakland Metal Troupe Joins Forces With Listenable Records

With four full-lengths and seven EPs to their name over and having played in an astounding twenty-one countries, Oakland, California-based metal unit, SAVIOURS, continues to forge ahead with their towering riffs, colossal rhythms, infectious guitar harmonies and an obsession with the end of times, the occult, psychedelics and the arcane. Still building upon the foundation that Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Motörhead laid, SAVIOURS opens a new chapter in their winding career with a partnership with French label Listenable Records who will release the band's new album this Fall.

Said SAVIOURS in a collective statement: "We're very happy to finally announce our deal with Listenable. They're true supporters of what we do and have been a pleasure to work with thus far. Since last June we've been beating the new songs into submission and now it's really starting to take shape and sound killer. There are some doomy crushers and faster ragers in the mix so it's sounding like a natural and logical continuation of where we left off with Death's Procession. In March we'll play some West Coast shows then begin recording at Type Foundry in Portland with the inimitable Billy Anderson. Can't wait to get this new record out, it's been too fucking long!"

Stand by for further SAVIOURS updates to be transmitted in the weeks to come. 

SAVIOURS:

Austin Barber - guitar, vocals

Sonny Reinhardt - guitar, vocals

Scott Batiste - drums

Andy Anderson - bass

The Sludgelord News: WALLS OF JERICHO Signs With Napalm Records

Austrian Metal Powerhouse Napalm Records is pleased to announce the signing of Detroit Michigan's WALLS OF JERICHO.   The band is currently working on their new album, which is their first full length since 2008.  After releasing a demo track "Restless" earlier this year, the band felt the itch again and decided to get back to recording.  The resulting album will be released by Napalm Records later this year.

Drummer Dustin Schoenhofer on signing with Napalm Records:

"All of us in WALLS OF JERICHO are proud and very excited to have signed with Napalm Records and are looking forward to finally finding the right partnership to release our new music with.  We would like to thank both Napalm and all our Fans and Family for being so patient with us these past seven years since our last release cause its long overdue." 

Thomas Caser, Napalm Records VP: "We are thrilled to work with one of the most exciting acts out of this genre and one of the best live bands out there! WALLS OF JERICHO have left their mark in the music industry and yet there is so much more to come for this band. Watch out for the band's new album this year and make sure you catch them live at some point if you have not seen them!"

Seemingly overnight, stylized bands playing strains of melodic hardcore have sailed up the pop charts. But for WALLS OF JERICHO things have played out a bit differently. During the scene's ascension, the band's members have all but shunned the idea of a genre tag or an "image" and have instead focused their energies on making music that will survive strictly on its musical merits.

Most bands in the world can be lumped into one category or another, they are shuffled, redefined, and in that way they begin to lose the qualities that could make them important or meaningful. The greatest bands, the most influential or memorable, are the ones who don't try to fill the role set for them, who don't pursue anything other than the desire to make music, and the need to express that art to an audience. From the start this has been the mind-set of WALLS OF JERICHO.

WALLS OF JERICHO is:

Candace Puopolo

Mike Hasty

Aaron Ruby

The Sludgelord News: Raise the Flag for Rock - AIRBOURNE Sign to Spinefarm Records

(New York, N.Y.):  AIRBOURNE-unswerving champions of the hard rock cause whose spectacular global success, live and on record, has consistently clenched a fist for the genre as a whole- have signed a worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records.

 Driven by a formidable "Work hard, play hard" ethic, and keen to entertain on the grandest of scales, this award-winning quartet, formed in regional Australia in 2003, have been proudly walking the rock 'n' roll path since their early teenage years, inspired by the music's great and glorious past, yet determined to move things forward on a wave of blurred limbs and boundless energy.

Led into action by brothers Joel and Ryan O'Keeffe, vocalist/lead guitarist and drummer, respectively, the lineup is completed by David Roads on guitar and Justin Street on bass. The four have spent the past 10 years establishing themselves as a true force of nature: living on the road, selling out major venues, charting albums and appearing on bills with some of rock's most legendary names, from Iron Maiden to the Rolling Stones.

With AIRBOURNE, everything is to the hilt, which means that front man Joel O'Keeffe is as likely to be climbing the lighting rig or going "walkabout" in the venue as positioned behind the mic; it also means that their three studio albums - Runnin' Wild (2007), No Guts. No Glory (2009) and Black Dog Barking (2013) - are home to some of the most rousing rock anthems of the past few years.

Songs like "Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast," "No Way But the Hard Way, "Live it Up" and "Runnin' Wild" itself comprise a body of work that hasn't escaped the notice of AC/DC's Angus Young, who was recently asked in an interview what he thinks of modern rock music, saying, "I see it as healthy, because there's newer stuff coming through. I really like Airbourne."

Since the release of Runnin' Wild, a silver record in the UK, AIRBOURNE have notched up an impressive array of international facts 'n' stats. These include Top 20 chart entries, No. 1 Rock Chart positions, awards for Best Album and Best Live Act, numerous placements in video games and TV/movie outlets, plus key spots at the biggest festivals around the world, the likes of Wacken and Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park in Germany and Sonisphere and Download in the UK, with Sweden Rock, Greenfield (Switzerland), Hellfest (France) and Graspop (Belgium) already confirmed for 2015.

Now, with sights set on absolute world domination and Album Number 4 likely to be released later this year, AIRBOURNE have joined forces with Spinefarm Records in a new global deal that sees Spinefarm partnering with Universal Germany's Vertigo imprint for the German-speaking markets.

"We're pumped up to have signed on the dotted line to the world's toughest and truest hard rock label, Spinefarm. We have worked with some of the guys on this team in the past, and we're extremely confident about having each other's back in the trenches for many hard rockin' years to come. We're chompin' at the bit to get ROCKIN' and KICKIN' ARSE in 2015 and beyond." - CHEERS from AIRBOURNE.

2015 finds AIRBOURNE perfectly placed to take things to a new level everywhere, building on their passion, hard graft and heady achievements, and bringing along an ever-growing army of fans for the (white-knuckle) ride; and one thing is for sure, there'll be no resting on laurels...

Ask Joel O'Keeffe about his days in college, and his response neatly spotlights "The AIRBOURNE Way": 

"I drove by the college on the way to a gig," he recalls. "This was in the early days, all the gear was in the back of the van. I planned to stop off and pick up the diploma certificate, but in the end, I didn't bother. I didn't want anything to fall back on, NO Plan B... I knew what I wanted to do, I was committed to Rock 'n' 'Roll, so as far as I was concerned, it was and still is all or nothing."

Raise the flag for Rock 'n' Roll.

The Sludgelord News : TORCH RUNNER: NORTH CAROLINA HARDCORE/CRUST ACT SIGNS WITH SOUTHERN LORD; NEW LP SLATED FOR SPRING RELEASE

Southern Lord confirms the newest addition to their roster, as North Carolina-based trio, Torch Runner, signs on for the release of their impending second LP, which is currently under construction.

Boasting a volatile brew of metallic, downbeat punk and hardcore, Torch Runner dispatched their initial nine-track Locust Swarm EP at the beginning of 2010 which tore into the underground scene, hooking fans of bands like Early Graves, Nails, Enabler, Dead In The Dirt and similar acts. A split EP with Young And In The Way dropped in mid-2011, followed one year later by their debut album, Committed To The Ground, the brutalising, morose crust attributes of the band showing through more with each new release.

Torch Runner is currently finalising their newest works at Legitimate Business in Greensboro, North Carolina with Kris Hilbert at the control board. Upon completion, it will be adorned with original art by Fernando Pena at No Prophet Dead Press.

Stated the members of Torch Runner from the studio, “We all feel like we are really hitting our stride with the songs on this record. We've been a band for seven years now, and everything we're writing is stronger than ever. This is the fastest record that we've written without a doubt. We've all put a ton of ourselves into the writing of this record on all fronts, and I think the emotion that comes with that is better shown through the music and the lyrics in this album than anything that we've done up to this point. We have taken our writing to a more personal level with this record; more concerned with externalizing the anger and frustration that we all face internally. While a lot of the songs deal with different specific themes, I think they can all be deconstructed to show the same idea- which is the internal battle and desolation that we face after realizing that our existence is utterly inconsequential.”

Looking into the future upon the completion of their new LP, they continue, “We've toured for almost the entire time that we've been together, but almost always by ourselves. We have done small runs with friends’ bands throughout the years, and we've gotten to play with lots of incredible people and bands, but for us it's always been more about being able to experience and go through everything together. When we look back on the past seven years, and when we look forward to everything coming in our bands future, we know that everything is because of the family-like bond that we've formed. No matter where we are, how many people are watching, or who we're playing with, it doesn't change what we're doing or why we're doing it.”

New info on Torch Runner’s upcoming album and tour plans for 2014 will be released in the coming weeks.

The Sludgelord News : TORCHE SIGN TO RELAPSE RECORDS CURRENTLY RECORDING FOLLOW UP TO HARMONICRAFT

Photo credit: Janette Valentine

TORCHE, the Florida-meets-Georgia quartet whose album Harmonicraft, was proclaimed “one of the strongest guitar-rock records 2012 will yield” by Alternative Press, have signed with Relapse Records.

“We’re looking forward to working with a label that has stood the test of time while continuing to expand their diverse roster.” Explained Jonathan Nuñez, adding, “Releasing this record on Relapse lined up pretty well since it contains some of the heaviest songs we’ve written to date.”

TORCHE are often cited for their masterful combination of melodic songwriting and heavy music, with Spin dubbing their music “sludge-pop” and Filter saying the band proves “a heavy-rock band can be optimistic and sincere-without sacrificing any of the edge.”

The band is currently recording at Pinecrust Studio in Miami, with Nuñez serving as producer and Converge’s Kurt Ballou mixing the album.  The as-of-yet untitled album is expected to come this Summer.

The band's 2012 7" entitled Harmonslaught can be streamed for free at the TORCHE Bandcamp.


Torche is: 
Steve Brooks - (Guitar/Vocals)
Rick Smith - (Drums)
Jonathan Nuñez - (Bass)
Andrew Elstner - (Guitar/Vocals)  

Torche are a band consisting of four dudes playing the loudest and heaviest hard rock on the planet.  Formed by vocalist / guitarist Steve Brooks in 2004 after the dissolution cult, sludge / stoner metal pioneers Floor, the group introduced the world to a refreshingly unique version of rock n' roll.  Torche have spent the last 10 years shattering ears and captivating crowds with their infectiously original heavy rock complete with soaring, harmonic vocals.

The band has released three full-lengths and a series of EPs / splits with such revered labels as Hydra Head, Robotic Empire, Volcom and Amensian and has toured relentlessly with a diverse pool of acts including Mogwai, Hot Water Music, The Sword, Isis and many more.  In early 2014 the band signed with renowned label Relapse Records and entered the studio to record their highly anticipated fourth full-length and follow-up to 2012's Harmonicraft.

and the signing:

"It is an honor to be joining the ranks of Relapse Records. We are truly privileged to be able to stand along side so many great acts as peers."
