When any new release from St. Louis, Missouri heavyweights Fister comes along, you immediately know it should be accompanied by its own sick bag,
given that their unique blend of sludge is likely to make you wretch under the
drone of gargled misery. A much
celebrated band and one we champion more than many at The Sludgelord, my
interest piqued at an upcoming release set for release via Encapsulated
Records, a new split 7" featuring Fister and their
buddies from St. Louis Everything Went Black. Ladies and Genitals, this is not just any old
release, these two filth dealers are not only doing a split, but take each
other’s songs and put their own unique stamp on them, by covering each
other's songs. Indeed the resultant split invokes a feeling of, “why the
hell, don’t more bands do this”.
Everything Went Black
tackle the track “Suicide Hessian”
which was originally written by Fister and released on
their album “Gemini”, whilst Fister have recorded “Card of Giants” written by Everything Went Black, and released on the Rattletooth
Split. Today at The Sludgelord, it is an
unbelievable honour to showcase this crushing 7inch and you can check it out in
full below with pressing info about the
release.
