FORMALIST was founded in 2014 when long-time associated individuals from the
Italian heavyweights FORGOTTEN
TOMB [vocals], MALASANGRE
[bass & drums] and VISCERA///
[guitars] joined forces with the aim to open new gates to total
sonic horrors. Excelling in the art of low-tuned sickness, the band members
managed to forge together their many influences and proceeded to write and
record the first full-length album during summer 2016, featuring 3 songs for a
nightmarish 40 minutes length where extreme Doom, Black Metal, Sludge and
Ambient/Drone combined with a completely hostile, nihilistic approach to vocals
and lyrics.
The album entitled "No One Will Shine
Anymore" will finally be released on the 16th March and with the band
soon hitting the road with selected stage appearances, today THE SLUDGELORD has an
exclusive first play of the track “Mainlined”, this is one most
certainly for all sludge/doom/depressive fanatics. Preorders are being taken at the following
