Today is another first
at The Sludgelord,
with yet another debut band, which is mandatory and malevolent earworm from
Milwaukee’s Volunteer.
For those not familiar with the band, since the release of the “Goner”
EP in 2014, Volunteer whose
sound echoes that of Unsane,
Today is the Day
and “Strap It On” era Helmet,
have progressively and succinctly evolved. Certainly with the addition of Kevin DeMars on
drums and former drummer Mark Sheppard moving to guitar, Volunteer have arguably
reached their musical zenith in 2016.
Volunteer alongside Minnesota's Buildings and set to release a split
12" EP featuring brand new material from both acts and is set for release
via Triple Eye Industries
on 26 August 26 2016
On Volunteer’s side of the
split, it finds them at their angriest and most aggressive, with bigger
guitars, tighter rhythms and furious vocals. Buildings who will make their Triple Eye Industries
debut have attempted to explore new sonic boundaries of what a trio can create
and with it, the compositions contained herein are just as batshit crazy as
they are sparse, resulting in an unhinged noisy and chaotic listening experience
With a release date
set for August 26, we have teamed up with our buds at Dewar PR to premiere
a track from Volunteer
entitled “Walk” which you can check out below. You can preorder
the release now on clear with blue splatter, opaque yellow or traditional black
colored vinyl. Get it before it’s gone. Pre-order the split here:
