Sludge metal outfit HOGSLAYER are set to release their second album ‘Defacer’ via cult label Undergroove Records on May 4th 2015.
The follow up to 2013's self titled release, Defacer showcases 8 tracks of evocative misery, infused with throat-stripping vocals that churn over sludgey, low slung grooves and hulking riffs. HOGSLAYER’S second album promises big and delivers bigger.
Formed in 2012, the year the world ended, HOGSLAYER rose from the ashes of Shaped By Fate and Zonderhoof, dragging with them their dank, squalid musical output.
For a taster of the band's sound, watch the video for the track Despiser here.
Says HOGSLAYER bassist Grym av Skugga, "Defacer is the result of us heading in a heavier and darker direction. We've made the decision to incorporate two bassists rather than two guitarists and taken a stripped down approach to the writing process, leaving a bleak and abysmal dissonance in its place. It’s our take on doom-ridden sludge and we’re looking forward to people hearing it.”
Having previously slaughtered the stage at Bloodstock Festival, the band are now set to tour the UK throughout March and April with more dates and festival appearances being added throughout the summer. Confirmed dates are as follows:
Mar 25 Kraak, Manchester, UK
Mar 26 Downstairs, Aberdeen, UK
Mar 27 Cerberus Bar, Dundee, UK
Mar 28 Gorilla Studios, Hull, UK
Mar 29 The Moon, Cardiff, UK
Apr 05 The Moon, Cardiff, UK
Apr 11 Hollowfest Doom All-Dayer, Bristol, UK
May 02 Red Sun Festival, Cardiff, UK
Aug 20 The Wheatsheaf, Oxford, UK
