DUNE // TIDE OF IRON // LUMP HAMMER

DUNE

"Dune's weighty sound combines big sludgy riffs with some interesting song structures and a couple of spacey, progressive sections thrown in for good measure. Fans of bands like Mastodon or High on Fire will be in their element here." - Terrorizer.com

HORSE LATITUDES // COLTSBLOOD // OMMADON // BONG

Leave Me Here + Inverted Grim-Mill Recordings have teamed up to bring you this cracker of a night. 

HORSE LATITUDES (Finland)

Menacing and majestic, the riffs and atmospheres of Horse Latitudes never veer off into pretension. This trio includes two bass guitar players who combine intricately with a vocalising drummer to execute a sublime form of doom that is heavy as well as serene.

Bandcamp | Facebook 

COLTSBLOOD (Liverpool)

Punishing and methodical, Coltsblood's grim sludge encapsulates the haunting howls of ancient armies entering battle. Relentless and dense soul-crushing doom riffs are accompanied with cacophonous drums and the war cries of our ancestors. Coltsblood remind us of the pain as they travel on a bleak journey into the dark remnants of a battle torn past. 

Bandcamp | Facebook

OMMADON (Glasgow/Newcastle)

Heavy and gravity laden, Ommadon's raw and minimal doom comes clawed down from the Moon and crashes to the Earth at a glacial pace. This two piece create huge chasms of heavy riffs telepathically bound with clangorous percussion. A filthy rich heaviness that is always perilously close to collapse into the abyss. 

Bandcamp | Facebook

BONG (Space)

Ritualistic and trance inducing, Bong create molten drone guitar laden vibes that continuously overlap in a journey through ancient space. A sitar crowned swathe of rhythm and darkness brings on eastern tones and reminds us that endurance through darkness leads to mystical fulfilment. Bong are true journeymen and you will be encouraged to accompany them into oblivion.

LATITUDES // WAHEELA // NEOLITHIC

LATITUDES

Following the success of their critically acclaimed debut album "Agonist" in 2009, and after a run of successful tours and crushing live shows, LATITUDES wasted no time starting work on their second full-lengther, "Individuation". And with a growing worldwide following, the quintet from Hertfordshire, is now prepared to unleash their most monumental work to date.

Produced once again by Chris Fielding (Napalm Death, Electric Wizard, Primordial) at Foel Studios in Wales, and mastered by Jamie Gomez Arellano (Ulver, Cathedral, Ghost) "Individuation" will crush you like a steel wrecking ball in a velvet glove. Jungian psychology refers to "Individuation" as the process of self-unification through the resolution of successive layers of psychological conflict. And it is a fitting title for an album that showcases a long hard road for a band that have not only survived, but grown stronger and better with every release. "Individuation" is the band's strongest statement yet and re-affirms why LATITUDES have captured the interest of fans from across genres, worldwide.

WAHEELA

The waheela is a wolf-like cryptid reported from Nahanni Valley in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Waheela are an improvised noise/rock project driven by a shared affection for shrieking feedback, non-denominational riff worship & unexplained sounds. They have been described as sounding like “a kind of death-trance” & akin to a particularly good German band being dredged from a big river.

Waheela are five male bipeds with biblical names & are typically found in darkened rooms in the North of England.

ORTEGA gig roundup

First and foremost, a heartfelt cheers to all those that attended the recent Ortega, Of Spire & Throne and Live Burial gig. Enough of you turned up to ensure all the bands got paid what they asked for, maybe a little more!

Additional thanks to anyone who bought an Inverted Grim-Mill Recordings or Tyrant T-shirt (or both) or any of the range of badges I've been making.

Next up, here's the between-band playlist for anyone enjoying the tunes more than awkward silence:

5ive - Jules Vernes' Dream
Slomatics - Flame On
Jackal-Headed Guard of the Dead - Obsidian Bats
Yob - Grasping Air
Bongripper - Satan
Dark Castle - Seeing Through Time
Ahab - Old Thunder
Latitudes - Fluxes of the Womb
Conan - Grim Tormentor
Necro Deathmort - Led To The Water
The Wounded Kings - Baptism of Atlantis

Cheers to the venue, soundman and bar staff for putting up with our racket and for being easy to deal with. I think we'll be using it again...

Finally, a massive thanks to all the bands for turning up on time, playing to schedule and generally not being any fuss. A smooth gig to run, a rare occurance and a real pleasure!

BARSHASKETH // WODE // BLIND SPITE

INVERTED GRIM-MILL RECORDINGS & TYRANT PRESENT

BARSHASKETH

Barshasketh formed in New Zealand during the mid-2000′s and in 2009 released two demo tapes: the self-titled debut recorded 2007 and As Flesh Becomes Earth recorded 2008. The demos were followed by a full-length tape in February of 2010 and founding member Krigeist relocated to Scotland. With the debut album, Defying the Bonds of Cosmic Thraldom, Barshasketh began to crystallise it’s unique approach. A sound which has been compared to Peste Noire and Wolves in the Throne Room: traditional atmospheric black metal with technical abilities far beyond the majority of bands in this arena.

WODE
